UPDATE: Metz will launch the METZ MECABLITZ M400. HSS and TTL Fujifilm X Compatible. More here (translation)

Fujifilm & Flash… a long (and often painful) story. However, over the last years, we have seen some improvements, and some companies, like Nissin, started to support Fujifilm X-series cameras.

But it’s when you think that things go better, that Fuji is able to make it worst again ;)

In fact, with the launch of the X-T2, Fujifilm also introduced changes in the flash protocol to support the EF-X500 flash system. New protocol… and hence flashes that work on the X-T1 are now no more supported on the X-T2.

The good news is: everything can (hopefully) be fixed with Firmware updates.

So here is a Recap:

Fujifilm X-T10 Discontinued (as well as the X-E2)… Fujifilm X-T20 Coming?

fuji-x-t10-discontinued

Fujifilm X-T10 discontinued (as well as X-E2)

The production of the Fujifilm X-T10 has ended. The camera is now officially discontinued – See Fujifilm Japan. The Fuji X-T10 is quite a successful camera for Fujifilm, so the replacement, the Fujifilm X-T20, will come for sure… sooner or later.

Also the Fujifilm X-E2 is now officially discontinued (see here). Not a big surprise, since Fujifilm released the X-E2s. But will there ever be an X-E3?
