Metz strobe for Fuji?

[Fpotter]

There was a rumor, perhaps here, to the effect that Metz was about to produce a strobe for the Fuji XT-1. My impression is that it was expected to appear this December. I'm right in the class of those would would love to see this happen.

 

Has anyone heard anythinghopeful?

Every Fuji Rep that I've talked to confirmed they were working with Metz before their financial troubles.  They also have stated that they are now working on a solution with another company.  Kind of hoping they are following the advice of some of their Pro's and working with Phottix, but I haven't been told by anyone I've talked to about a specific company.  They do know how important a dedicated flash system is, and they are saying that is at the top of their list to deliver a solution to their customers that works.
