So if you really want to have the official Fuji Speedlight on your camera, then do yourself a favor. Why? Because it DOES produce the flash, just under a different brand name. You'll also notice that Sunpak produces the flash for all of the major camera brands-except Fuji. It's actually just a Sunpak PZ42X flash with a Fuji logo bolted on it and a higher price tag. The funny thing about that (two funny things in one article, whew!), is that Fuji didn't even produce the Fujifilm EF-42 flash (at time of writing). It looks like a sumo wrestler riding on a goat.įuji produces four speedlights, but only one of them has any real use for anything other than simple on-camera flash: the Fujifilm EF-42 Speedlight flash. And it will make you laugh every time you see a humungous Speedlight mounted to the hotshoe of a tiny little mirrorless camera.
I like the ingenious little pop-up flash on the Fuji XT1.There isn't much good to say about the Fuji's own flash system except for three things In the end, I'll give my conclusion on the best flash system for my Fuji XT1 mirrorless camera. That's the good news! But there are some drawbacks to using flash on the Fuji system, which we'll dive into later.įirst, let's have a look at the Fuji flash system and see how it compares with the stuff from other major manufacturers, then we'll consider third party flash systems like Phottix, Yongnuo, and others. I was surprised and relieved to find how well Fuji cameras handle flash systems from other manufacturers, which was a major reason why I ended up making the switch.Īll Fuji cameras I have tested use standard hotshoes that are capable of working with third-party flash triggers and speedlights. So when I decided to take a hard look at switching to Fuji from my Nikon full-frame camera, the flash system was one of the first things I tested. The main reason why I avoided the Sony camera system a few years ago (this is no longer an issue) is because their “standard” hotshoe was, well, not standard. When I look at a new camera system, my first questions are about the lens system and the flash system, and THEN I'll consider the actual camera itself. Mounting a normal-sized speedlight on a tiny little Fuji camera looks hilarious.
