Pre-Order Cactus Wireless Flash Transceiver V6 II … brings HSS to Fuji X System

Cactus V6 II

The Cactus V6 II Wireless Flash Transceiver is now available for pre-order at BHphoto.

Able to support numerous brands and types of speedlights and flashes, the Cactus Wireless Flash Transceiver V6 II is a versatile and capable flash trigger that offers added functionality to make remote flash work easier. This model is able to support Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, and Pentax flash systems with ease and uses 2.4 GHz radio communication to trigger other units from up to 328′ away. The main advantage of the V6 II is high-speed sync, of which two modes are offered. A normal setting uses a protocol depending on the camera system involved whereas the Power Sync can boost the flash for moments when Normal HSS is not powerful enough.

Fuji X-T2 :: No Internal F-log Recording, but Firmware Update Possible! (source: Fuji Guys) :: X-T2 Buffer Test!

Fuji X-T2 F-log

You know it: the Fuji X-T2 shoots 4K and there’s also an ‘F-Log’ flat profile.

The less known fact (almost never mentioned in first looks): the Fuji X-T2 can’t record f-log internally, but only through HDMI. This is confirmed by the Fuji Guys in the tweet you can see above.

But…

… there is hope for a Fuji-Kaizen udpate. When FR-reader Nerd Nomads asked the Fuji Guys if internal f-log recording can be intruduced via firmware update, they said “I’m sure it’s possible“.

Ok… the comments are open… and remember, Fuji reads us!

Fujifilm X-T2 available mid August

They might be a bit too optimistic, but let’s hope they are right: BHphoto expects the Fujifilm X-T2 available for mid August.

A FR-reader also wrote to Adorama, asking when the X-T2 will be shipped, and they answered:

Thank you for your inquiry on the status of your backorder.
According to the manufacturer estimates we expect to fulfill your order for the following item(s)
SKU IFJXT2 by 2nd week of August

What’s Taurus?

A weekend curiosity. When I opened the new Fujifilm Catalogue, I noticed that on my Firefox Tab, instead of “X-T2“, the name “Taurus_EN_Cover” appreared. Sounds like some kind of secret code Fuji used for the X-T(aurus)2. But maybe you have better specualtions.

And if you are a future X-T2 owner and haven’t done so far, then download the Catalogue here.

*** UDPATE *** A trusted source dropped me an email saying that Fujifilm started naming it’s prototypes after constellations. So, Fuji, I’m “Aries”… take that name for the Fuji X-E3 (Read also my LOVE LETTER to the Unborn FUJIFILM X-E3)
