Hello guys,

 

I am currently using a Nikon D7100 with the SB-910/700 flashes and the Yongnuo YN-622N transmitter and receivers, usually controlling the power of the flashes in manual mode. Would it be possible to use the same flash/trigger combo on an XT-2 ?

 

If not, could you recommend another option for wireless triggering of the Nikon flashes, with a  possibility to remotely set the flash power ?

 

Could a combination of YN560-TX/RF-603N II work ?

 

Also, would it be possible to trigger the YN-622N TX from an X-T2 by attaching it to a roboshoot MX-20 transmitter via its hot shoe mount ?

 

Thanks in advance.

I have tried the yn 560iv with the yn 622 controller and the 603 triiggers. I have the canon version but I don't think it matters since it only sees the middle pin. These are strictly manual but so far the work fine fior me.

I have used the XT2 and SB910/SB700, along with YN622N-Tx and Rx units, they work fine in the manual mode, though I am unable to remotely set the power of the flashes.

Tried several experiments and combinations of modes, but couldn't get it set the power remotely.

I've been looking into this recently too, wondering if there is a magic (and cheap!) fix to get off camera flash with adjustable power using some cheap Chinese tech.  I recently switched to Fuji from Nikon and I really don't want to buy more flashes as I already own an SB80 and SB700.  A while ago I got a really cheap trigger/reciever set (cowboy studio I think) and they've never let me down.  Last weekend I tried them on my X-T1/SB80 and they worked perfectly.  But I really want to adjust flash power from the camera (or top of the camera as the case may be) so I've been trying to find a solution.  So far it looks like a set of Cactus V6 II's are the way to go.  The only hesitation is that they are a little spendy compared to Yungnuo YN622 TX/RX set...but the more I read about the latter the less it looks like those will work reliably with the Fuji/Nikon combo.  Can anyone comment on this, or my particular set up?

      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.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      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

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
