Brilliant thanks everyone. It's one of the reason I like the Godox X Trans system for their lights. I use the AD200 with a couple of speedlights normally and am looking at some of their studio lights too. It allows me to move between them all without needing extra triggers.

Good evening, A friend has asked if they can borrow one of my speedlights when I visit them but my speedlights are Godox TT685F and they have a Olympus system with the Godox X2T-O. Now assuming it won't send TTL information does anyone know if it'll still send manual settings over the Godox X...

I was worried the XT series was going to be the same with me especially after coming from the 5D series on Canon but finding it a perfect fit.

First proper use of the XT3 last weekend at Sedgwick County Zoo and with the 50-230 XC lens all's I can say is how blown away I am. Moving from Canon to Fuji seems to have been the correct choice for me. So natural to use, easier to carry all day and the images are lovely.

Amazing thank you so much. I never even noticed that button and had to check the manual on where it was lol.

Got a random question I'm hoping someone more experienced can help with. I do a lot of filming on a gimbal however with the XT3 as soon as the back of the gimbal casts a shadow on the eyecup I lose the back screen. Is there an option I'm missing to prevent the rear screen from going off?

Everything I've read about the XT3 made it seem perfect for me. Really good portrait prime lenses - Check; a good 100-400 lens for wildlife/sports - Check; really good video capabilities - Check (although I may have to splash out on an Atomos to boost it). I completely agree a lot of the...

Ha ha if you could see my youtube history for the last year it's filled with various videos of comparisons on all the mirrorless systems and reviews and such. I spend way too long over analysising which will be right for me but in the end it came down to Sony being too expensive for my blood...

Thanks. I've been advised to take a look at Tony Phillip's ebook for it.

Finally pulled the trigger and moved from Canon (5D2) to Fuji (XT-3). Should arrive Tues next week and I'm looking at a 18-55 on the forum at the moment to add to it. Now comes the fun of relearning a new system after 15+ years of Canon DSLR use.

It might be something to do with the Digic Chip.

You should be able to use free shutter count (google it) to check it. Or EOS Info from Astrojargon

Loving it for what's I've done. Found a few lenses that don't work but bought a cheap Tamron 18-270 which seems to work with iris control. I've yet to properly use it "in anger" but I'm filming a music video for friends in December so fingers crossed

Poor fellow. That bite at the end looked truly painful too

Finally moved away from filming on my Canon 5D2 and taken the leap with a BMCC 2.5K EF Mount. Looking forward to trying out filming in RAW more and hopefully making some short movies along with being able to continue doing interviews at conventions. I don't get though why only certain EF...
