Profoto and Fuji X series


Recommended Posts

Hi.

Do any of you have anny experience with B1 and B2 on the X series?

 

I use a Sekonic flash meter and want to use PocketWizard Plus III as i use today. The plan is to use one of the PocketWizards connected to the Air Remote and one on the camera, so I get remote flash release when I use the light meter (L-478DR, have built in PocketWizard transmitter).

I use PocketWizards and any strobe that has an onboard receiver or that they can plug into - they work great!

 

It'd be really lame if the $2000 B1 didn't have a built in receiver.  Or if it did have a built in receiver that only worked with the $500 Profoto sender.

Yeah, unless you're shooting with Nikon/Canon and using the TTL/HSS Remote features there's not much compelling about the B1 - it's just a REALLY expensive battery powered strobe.

 

Now, let's say they made the head 1000+w/s with the ability to plug them in directly.  That would start to be compelling.

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
