This trigger is a must have for those of you, who invested into the Godox system, as it “eclipses all previous triggers for UI and control access“, as Damien Lovegrove told us here,
I’m packing. I’m leaving. A long car ride all to way to Prague is waiting for me.
But before I leave, here is a blog post about why I bought the X-E3, XF27mm and XF10-24, as well as some initial feedback… sadly also something negative amongst it.
UPDATE: Jonas Rask in the comments: “Converted from RAW. No crop, no vignettecorrection. They obviously tested a faulty lens. The lens I tested back in september had close to zero vignette, if any.”
Lenstip just published theri full review of the XF80mm Macro lens.
It is a lens with a long list of Pro’s and only 1 negative point. Usually Lenstip would assign the “Editor’s Choice” badge, but they consider the vignetting issue a “serious flaw”, hence no “editor’s choice”.
Let us know in the comments what your experience with the XF80mm is.
“The Fujinon XF 80 mm f/2.8 LM OIS WR Macro is a very sharp lens with an excellent autofocus unit and very efficient image stabilization. In experienced hands it will perform admirably, never letting its owner down.
With such significant dimensions of the lens, I think its huge vignetting level is a serious flaw. There were also several issues which don’t exactly fit the list of cons but they spoilt the overall image nevertheless. The lens should have had a smaller resolution difference between the centre and the edge of the frame (a typical and desirable effect in the case of a macro device) and performed against bright light a tad better.”
For many years, Flash support for Fujifilm gear was a major weak spot of the system.
But 2017 was a great year for Fujifilm lovers when it comes to flash support. Now X-shooters have a wide variety of options, with Godox quickly becoming the most popular one. Some big players (Elinchrom!!) are still not offering Fujifilm support, but they will follow soon.
