I have a Nissin i40 that I've used for over one year on my X-pro 1 in manual mostly and TTL mode as well.  Now the flash still works in manual mode but fails to fire in TTL mode.  Does anyone have any experience of knowledge of this problem?  Are there any suggestions on how to fix this without sending the unit out for service.

I have found my iNissin to be quite unpredictable in TTL on my X-T1.  So much that I'd consider it crap compared to my past Nikon body/flash combo history.  But until Fuji releases its own (hopefully this spring), I have had to make due.

 

What I have found helped (as sometimes mine would not fire in TTL when mounted on the camera) is I mount the iNissin on my camera when both the flash and camera are turned off.  I then turn on the iNissin, then turn on the X-T1.  I have found doing that (versus attaching the iNissin when the camera is already on) has helped increase the chances the iNissin will work.

OK, thanks, Adam I'll do that henceforth and see what happens.  I usually shoot using manual mode on the Nissin. I have guide numbers in my head to do some quick calculating with the flash zoom setting, distance of the flash to the subject, and aperture.  But there are occasions when life is simpler using TTL.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
