What flash guns are you using with Fuji X1pro?

[Phiggys]

Just wondering what flash guns fellow togs might be using with there Fuji X camera bodies ?
Not to bothered about ttl at this time ?
I often still use my Nikon SB26 speedlights on other cameras although I own several TTL guns.
Just wondering what other folk might use that's a little more compact ?

Just got the Meike MK-320 from Amazon, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00YABWG8E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

Not used it much TBH but seems ok, good reviews on Amazon

Cheers Keith just the sort of flash I'm looking for looks similar size to my SB400

Another vote for the Meike 320. It angles up by 90 degrees bit doesn't rotate. I like that it projects forward of the camera body which reduces the chance of getting a shadow of your lens in the shot.

I've just ordered a Godox V850 & trigger set to try with mine I've read really good things about the 2015 version of this flash and the dedicated remote trigger system is amazing, allowing full remote control of power and up to 16 groups of flash guns, so full remote control of off camera flash and all for under £90 new and from a UK eBay store.
If it all works for me then I'll probably pick up another 3 speedlites + receivers and a larger octobox.

Been using V850's and AD180's for a while now with both the XP1 and X100S and they are very good, no issues apart from having Godox replace a couple of faulty batteries, very portable location lighting kit.

hello, just wondering your thoughts on the V850 and trigger set now that you have had them for a few months?

I was on Canon before Fuji and had 580EXII guns. I use these with Yongnou 622 triggers/transceivers. No problems. Full manual only.

I'll be ordering a set of yongnuo 560's and 560tx in a couple of weeks. As mentioned above, full manual only.

Superb, very easy to use and reliable

surprised nobody uses fuji's own efx20 - its a really nice compact flash with dedicated flash power dial

But it just doesn't have the power or versatility of the larger speedlites, its fine as an on camera fill flash/basic flash but very limited otherwise.

I used this for my XT1, good capable setup thats really good value for money. Don't forget some rechargeable batteries!
