Back in March, we broke the news here on FujiRumors: Elinchrom will add Fujifilm support to their Skyport Plus HS transmitters.
Now, a new source (thanks a lot) shared more details about the release with us. The source says that “Elinchrom plans to release a Fujifilm specific HS trigger in Q4” (so between October and December).
Ah… the good news in the flash world for Fujifilm just never end :)
Hey all!
In today’s “Behind the X-gear” episode we are going to meet Matteo Bastianelli, the Fujifilm X-shooter, whose work has been published also at National Geographic and CNN.

Capture One has recently made some significant steps forward to what belongs Fujifilm support. For example, they added Fujifilm compressed RAW support, OpenCL is now also supported by X-trans files and more – Full list in this article
But frankly, there is still room for improvement.
For example, still no film simultion support (but you can find a great homebrew at the fuji-x-forum) and no Fujifilm GFX 50s support.
The news today?
There will be a dedicated Fujifilm Capture One webinar tomorrow, July 6, 2017, with Fujifilm X-photographer Eivind Røhne. So sign up here and tune in at 11 AM New York time (5 PM Berlin Time).
I’m currently a Iridient / Adobe user. But I have to admit that I’m thinking to switch to Capture One (from Adobe). But before switching, I want Capture One to finally offer full X-Trans support.
Now, since this summer I have no major trips plans (except my recent 1 week journey in wonderful South Italy) I will spend a lot of time hiking on my local mountains. So I have a little tour planed for tomorrow (with my trusty easy to use Camslinger Cosyspeed bag, as you can see in the video below). But if the weather will turn bad tomorrow, I’ll definitely tune into the Capture One webinar… maybe they can convince me to make the switch from Adobe.
And if weather is great, and I can’t see the Capture One webinar, well, then maybe some of you guys can drop a few comments to this post about the webinar… I’ll be happy to check them out when I’m back.

Flash, or more specifically TTL & HSS has always been Fujifilm’s Achilles heel. Sure you could get HSS and TTL with systems like Cactus and Roboshoot, you could get some level of support, but it wasn’t native and required expensive triggers and receivers.
Then the EF-X500 came out and although there was initial fanfare, it came with a premium price a lack of wireless support. Since then, we’ve been waiting for suitable alternatives and fortunately that day has arrived.
Godox released it’s TT350F which is the first one of their proposed TTL/HSS flashes for Fuji. It’s on the lower end of the power spectrum, but it’s also a good size for a small mirrorless. With the lack of wireless support for the EF-X500, I’ve been working with a Yongnuo YN560 along with a Elinchrom Ranger for the heavier stuff, but there are times where there simply isn’t any other alternative for TTL.
