Godox AD200Pro Now Available, Reviews, Tutorials, What Makes It Different, and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 1, 2019

I have had a few photographers ask me what is different about the Godox AD Pro lights, well Godox answered it pretty clearly on their Facebook page. They also posted a tutorial for the AD200Pro which you can view above.

the AD200Pro has enhanced features as follows:
Stable color temperature mode is added to assure ±100K color temperature tolerance over the entire power range;
Quicker recycle time approx. 0.01-1.8s;
The more precise power output of AD200Pro: 9 steps:1/256-1/1, in 0.1 stop increment;
Shorter flash duration t0.1 of AD200Pro:
Fresnel Head:1/220 to 1/15380 seconds
Bare Bulb Head: 1/220 to 1/13510 seconds;
Upgraded flash holder for easier & more stable installation;
HD VA Screen with Clearer Display Effect;
Two function buttons are added on the function panel to easily and quickly shift to Modeling Light Mode and High-Speed Sync Mode.

Below are a variety of reviews and it sounds like Godox is on a roll. They are offering some incredible value and performance for the price.

Current Fujifilm Savings End Today

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 31, 2019


Vi Vante is offering a 10% discount for FujiAddict readers for their products listed here on Amazon they also have additional products here not included in the discount. The above are just standard Amazon affiliate links so you do not have to do anything to get the discount. I got to handle a Vi Vante Luxury Sheetline Black Rope the other day and it has a really nice feel to it, but I would not recommend it for heavy setups, because the rope will lose its unique spring. I will be doing some reviews of their products when the Fujifilm GFX100 comes out so stay tuned.

Laowa 17mm f/4 GFX Zero-D Details and Price Leaks

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 30, 2019


The Laowa 17mm f/4 GFX Zero-D is expected to come in at $1,249 and it will be the full frame equivalent of a 13.5mm with an angle of view of 113°. All of the details below are from a translation:

Lens features

  1. Fuji medium format native bayonet
    No need to transfer, the original Fuji G-mount design, suitable for Fuji FFX medium format system, open up more shooting possibilities for medium format users.
  2. Unchanged “zero” distortion design
    The old frog lens continues the ultimate requirement for ultra-wide-angle lenses. As always, it adopts an optical design with near-zero distortion to meet the demanding standards of Fujifilm medium-format users.
  3. round filters for easy shooting
    The front of the lens is designed with a non-bulb lens and can be fitted with a circular filter of 86mm diameter for photographers to experience light shooting. In addition to the 86mm round filter, you can also install a 100mm square mirror bracket to enhance the playability of the shot.
  4. super wide close shooting ability
    Like other wide-angle lenses of the old frog, the 17mm F4 lens also has excellent close-up ability. The recent shooting distance (image distance) is only 20cm, and the maximum shooting magnification is 0.28 times, which expands the application field of the photographer.
  5. dazzling stars
    The lens is designed with five glossy blades that capture 10 brilliant stars.
  6. all-metal tradition, always sticking to
    The 17mmF4 lens inherits the quality of the old frog, all metal structure, strong and durable, ensuring the accuracy of assembly and the feel of focusing. Hard-wearing body, reliable shooting partner.
