There are a lot of good options for lighting for Fujifilm today and some of them are almost as good as Profoto, but there are still professionals that will use nothing but Profoto. I must admit that the Profoto B1‘s have tempted me more than once and now that there is an Air Remote for Fujifilm I just might have to buy some for my Fujifilm GFX. I would also love to get a few Profoto D2‘s for studio work because cameras like the GFX have caused me to really love the studio in a way that I previously didn’t.
Full frame and APS-C just don’t compare to medium format in a studio setting and a camera like the GFX makes you want to throw a ton of light on the subject. I really like the Impact lighting system and a native trigger coming soon is big, but a good plugin light like the Profoto D2 could be a blast to use in the studio now that there is an Air Remote for Fujifilm.
On a side note, I was shooting in the studio last night with my friends and the Fujifilm GFX continued to shine, with the Sony a7RIII performing very well. We kind of play musical cameras at times, but some night’s it’s very hard for me to shoot the Fujifilm GFX because it is so well liked. I still have a lot of editing to do, but check my Instagram and 500px for the photos as I post them.
