“Translated Press Release”
To everyone that has been damaged by the 2016 Kumamoto local earthquake, together with you heartily, I would like to wish a swift recovery even one day. To repair possible Fujifilm products were affected by this disaster, we will carry out repair correspondence at a special price.
Adorama substantially discounted their Fujifilm XE-2 + HG-XE1 Hand Grip Combo today for a total savings of $300. If you’re new to Fuji than there is an even better XE-2 deal available on Adorama at the moment. You can get the Fujifilm XE-2 + XF18-55 F2.8-4 R LM OIS + HG-XE1 Hand Grip Combo for a total savings of $500. You really can’t go wrong with either combo, but if you don’t own the 18-55 it is a great lens.
Fujifilm management has responded to the efforts to save packfilm and, in my opinion, the future sounds bleak. Nonetheless, the people behind the effort to save FP-100C remain positive. Fujifilm’s response of “while we cannot continue to manufacture and market the FP-100C, we will continue to support the photographic industry” does not sound good to me at all. You can read more about the effort here and here, but if you want to pick up what could be some of the last packfilm produced, check out Amazon, B&H Photo, and Adorama as they have had it tricking in over the past few weeks.
The X-Pro 2 seems to have some great weather sealing from the various extreme videos I have seen on the web, but this is probably the most extreme by far. I’m not sure I would want to risk my camera in a leaky submersible bag like Gianluca Colla does in the video.
I have been consistently using, and abusing, the Lens Packs that were sent to me for a few weeks now, and I think I have come to a conclusion that will be useful to people considering purchasing one, or a few. I’m also hopeful that this review will help people that are confused about the product to better understand its function and how it might benefit them. There has been a lot of dialog about this product on Fuji Addict and it has been a learning experience for me because a very helpful reader provided me with a brief history lesson about camera bags.

RoboSHOOT remote TTL triggers are now available in the United States for Fuji X cameras. According to Serene Automation, the makers of RoboSHOOT, their flagship remote trigger allows for off camera TTL with Nikon, Nissin, and Fuji flashes, which is a first for remote triggers. Further, Imagine Resource reports there are “third-party reports of the setup working with the Nikon variants of the Metz 52AF-1 and Yongnuo YN-568EX, among others.” These triggers seem very useful from what I have read about them, but if you want to read a hands on review, morethanwords.be has an article worth reading 5 Reasons the RoboShOOT X Flash triggers for Fuji are a game changer.
There are two lines of flash triggers currently available from Serene Automation for Fuji X cameras at this time from Serene Automation that can be mixed and matched pretty liberally, but support for Nikon flashes and an external sync port are limited to the 20 line. So, if you’re interested in full Nikon compatibility and/or sync ports, purchase the RoboSHOOT MX-20/RX-20 bundle and add flash appropriate receivers. Theres even a useful iOS and Android app for the MX-20 that uses Bluetooth and isn’t available for the MX-15.
