Flash Roundup: Lots of Godox (New Gear and Reviews) and a bit of Yongnuo and Jinbei

Here is a roundup gravitating around flashes.

Most of the roundup will cover Godox, as it is arguably the one brand that grew strongest over the past few years. And in fact, new Godox gear has been announced recently too. There will be also reviews about the Godox AD100 Pro pocket flash.

But we will cover also Jinbei and Yongnuo.

Jinbei released two pieces of TTL lighting gear with full Fuji support. A couple of months ago Jinbei released a round-headed flash with a touch screen called HD-2 Pro. There is another monolight called HD-200 Pro. A video in Chinese showing an X-H1 user with his HD-2 Pro and HD-200 Pro in a studio setup here. The HD-200 Pro unboxing video from the official Jinbei channel in Chinese here.

DPRTV: Which are the Best Fujifilm Prime Lenses: XF F1.4 vs F2 (18mm, 23mm and 35mm)

In their latest episode, DPRTV looks at the best Fujifilm prime lenses, more precisely at the following ones:

So which one is the better pick? And is bigger, more expensive and faster always better?

I want to know your opinion, but so far I personally went for the f/1.4 lenses, plus I sold my XF18mmF2 in favor of the even more compact XF27mmF2.8 and now I am a happy owner of the XF27mmF2.8 R WR.

And while I think I could be perfectly happy also with the XF23mmF2 instead of my XF23mmF1.4 (the lens that took the first image of my son), I think I can simply not trade in my XF35mmF1.4 for the XF35mmF2, as I simply love it. The XF35mmF1.4 is always with me on travels (for example here in the gothic streets of Barcelona) and it has that character that also Chris from DPRTV loves so much.

Gosh, I even had to take an emergency jump into the Mekong river one day with all my gear, XF35mmF1.4 included, to avoid to die in the Mekong waterfalls on the border between Laos and Cambodia (I had the brilliant idea to explore alone with an old cr*p wooden Kayak a point where the Mekong gets at least 5 miles large, commonly called the 4000 island).

The mighty Mekong claimed all my gear in exchange for my life. All my gear, except for the XF35mmF1.4, which was the only gear to survive and still today works like a champ.

But enough of that crazy stuff I do on travels.

Down below you can read a summary of what Chris thinks about these lenses.

Fujifilm X-H2: Getting 8K for Less than $2,500 and Price Comparison with Sony A1 and Canon R5

Regarding the Fujifilm X-H2, we already told exclusively to FujiRumors readers that:

Now, I have read some comments saying that less than $2,500 is still to high for an APS-C camera.

So let’s talk about it and compare it to how much you pay to get other 8K mirrorless cameras on the market today.

With a rumored Fujifilm X-H2 price of less than $2,500, the X-H2 would end up costing about half the price of the Canon EOS R5 or even about 1/3 of the Sony A1 price.

Now, I once wrote an article giving you guys 7 reasons why full frame can’t kill APS-C, and price is one of the reasons.

In fact, if the rumored price is accurate (and I have no reasons to doubt that) the Fujifilm X-H2 will once again prove my point that full frame can only match the price of APS-C cameras by sacrificing features and specs, as we explained making some real life examples here.

I guess that’s also why DPReview, Petapixel & CO consider APS-C is the sweet spot.
