Profoto A1 Firmware B2 Released


Profoto hasn’t released a Fujifilm specific A1 yet, but the new A1 works great with the Profoto Air Remote TTL-F. Profoto’s first featured Fujifilm photographer used the A1 and B2 in her work. I hope to pick up some Profoto gear in the near future myself to use in the studio and on location. I am curious how it compares to my Impact setup, which should have a native trigger for Fujifilm soon. Godox also has some great lights right now for a very reasonable price. Options and competition are always good to have.

New in firmware version B2

• New feature: Key lock
• New feature: Flicker-free mode for model light
• New feature: Use model light independent if flash is on/o
• Fixed bug where user could not choose X-Sync
• Changed behavior of “Model” button: short press model light ON/OFF, long press head

ON/OFF
• Changed behavior of “Select” button: long press activates key lock, deactivate by pressing any button and turning select dial • General bug fixes

Sunday Savings Continues


The Fujifilm X-E2S was added to the discount pile this week. I’m curious how much longer the 16MP X-Trans sensor will remain on the market for with almost the entire line up being available with a 24MP sensor now. When the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-H1 come out this year the used market will likely become flooded with 24MP X-Trans sensor cameras, which will make it even harder to sell the 16MP cameras still left in stock.

Switching from Canon to Fujifilm

Lots of professional photographers have been switching from Canon to Fujifilm this past year thanks to the Fujifilm X-T2 and most of them have been featured on some pretty big sites like FStoppers. You can find a ton of switch videos on Youtube but the most recent videos sum up the arguments for why many are leaving Canon for Fujifilm. Mirrorless has matured and even the old holdover argument of Canon’s color science has become mute because Canon can’t tell the difference between their colors and Fujifilm’s.

If the Fujifilm X-T3 is released before Canon’s mirrorless comes out Fujifilm might continue to convert Canon and Nikon photographers. I do not think the Fujifilm X-H1 will be as effective as the X-T3 at this task outside of photographers that have a hybrid workflow, due to the drawbacks of IBIS, but 2018 is looking very good for Fujifilm and it will look even better if the rumored Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras are delayed yet another year or if they aren’t truly professional cameras.

Don’t forget to join our Fujifilm XT Owners Group and Fujifilm X-H Owners Group, also follow Fujiaddict on Facebook and Twitter.
