Fujifilm announces development of EF-X500 flash | DPReview

Among all of its new cameras announcements, Fujifilm also made public the development of a new external flash. The EF-X500 is a high-end, weather-sealed model with a guide number of 50m at ISO 100, the ability to control up to three sets of TTL off-camera strobes, and a high-speed sync mode that supports the X-Pro2’s maximum 1/8000 sec shutter speed. The zoom head range is 24-105mm equiv., and can go as wide as 20mm with the wide panel pulled into place. It has a large, backlit display on its back side along with a control dial for easy setting adjustment. As you’d expect, the flash can tilt and rotate – 10° down, 90° up, 135° left and 180° right. It uses four AA batteries and also supports Fujifilm’s EF-BP1 external battery pack. The EF-X500 is expected to ship in May at a price yet to be determined…….
