Advice Please!

Hi,

I've just moved to Fuji from a Pentax DSLR and am looking for some advice on a small/smallish speedlight to go with an XT5.  Any thoughts or advice on what to get or avoid gratefully received.

Thanks all

Ian

It depends on what you're after, but for a good all-rounder unit I purchased the GODOX TT685II-F for my X-T5.

Thanks, NACarter, appreciate it!

Hi Baddoch. I have followed a similar path from Pentax. 
It depends on your perception of small/smallish. If you are looking for something to act like a normal "pop-up" flash, the EF-X8 works well. 

If you are looking small, I would look for the Godox TT350-F. I pcked a couple up second hand from LCE around £25 each. (Think Pentax AF360 FGZ but a bit smaller)

If you are after a "full size" one, I would go for the Godox V860III-F. Just before Xmas I picked a couple up brand new from Amazon at £91 on offer with a voucher. Fantastic flashes with Lithium ion batteries and fully compatiple with the Fujifilm TTL modes as well and integrating with the other Godox units and guns including the TT350. These are still available on Amazon for £153 but there is a voucher code for 30% making them £107, Compared that with over 4x for the Fuji unit which is less flexible.

Perfect, just what I was looking for!
