Number Six Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I recently sold my EF-X20 flashgun, primarily due to it's lack of standby mode and relatively slow wake-up time. I am now considering the Nissin i40 as a replacement to use with my X-E1 and, possibly, my X100. If anyone has experience of using the i40 with the Fuji X-Series, I'd be extremely grateful for their opinions. Best regards, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the EF-X20 for the times I need that. If you don't, then the Yongnuo 560iii would be a better one..... hell, you could buy three of them for the price of the i40 or two plus the radio transmitter below. The 560iii has a built in radio receiver and works with the Yongnuo YN-560-TX transmitter that allows you to control up to 6 groups of these flashes from the camera. They're well built and work really well..... but, manual only so if you need TTL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Six Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Duncan Many thanks. Confess I'd not heard of the Yongnuo and, while it looks interesting (& very affordable!), I would be after a TTL option. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is one area Fuji need to improve on, building a good flash system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstw Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 From how they respond to customer feedback, I suspect that it won't be too long before it's implemented. One of the reasons I switched over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
