The Nissin Air Commander for Fujifilm is now available at AmazonDE. I guess it will be available soon also at BHphoto and Adorama.
The Air Commander seems to work well with the Fujifilm X-T2, as shown by roguski here and here.
Just as rumored, Fujiiflm released new firmware updates for the following cameras.
Still missing: the Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware 1.10, that Fujifilm announced for today, too. I guess Fujifilm found yet another bug. That’s why they postponed it to November 29 – see updated press release here.
Cactus just release a new Firmware for the CactusV6ii Flash Transceiver, that adds HSS support for Fujifilm X-T2 and X-Pro2 cameras. Go through the updater on your computer when the V6II is connected to install the new Firmware.
NEW FEATURE: AF-assist Continuous Light (AF CON) – see cactus page

Cactus announced that a Beta Firmware for Fujifilm X-T2 support is almost ready. They are looking for Beta Testers. Here is what they said in their forum.
Hey everyone, a quick update…
In the next couple of days, we will soon have a beta firmware for you to test on the X-T2.
If you are interested in testing it with us, please send an email to info@cactus-image.com with subject line “X-T2” and we will send you the Updater with embedded X-T2 beta firmware.
I would greatly appreciate if you can share your findngs here on the fourm (under this post) so we can see if others experience the same kind of bugs and issues.
For those who needs to use the V6 II for commercial work, please wait a little bit more as the beta version is likely not ready.
Thank you in advance to those who are participating.

“I just called B & H to check on the status of my July 7 X-T2 order because I’m leaving tomorrow (8/31) for a 2 week trip to Ireland. They told me they were getting several thousand in tomorrow. Of course.”
ADMIN NOTE 1: If the information Steve got is correct, then it seems BHphoto will have a quite large stock of X-T2’s available tomorrow.
ADMIN NOTE 2: Keep in mind that Fuji has some kind of “shipping embargo” on products (in the case of the X-T2 the deadline is September 8). This means that, although stores get the products earlier, they have to wait for the shipping embargo to end, before they can start delivering. Don’t ask me why stores have to sit on those X-T2 boxes for one more week.
And what about your pre-order? What is your store saying? We have an X-T2 Pre-orders thread also at our Fuji X Forum here.
