Fuji X100 Classic and Godox TT350F Flash

I didn't see a seperate forum for the X100 so forgive me if I place my question here.

 

I have the first iteration of the X100. Love this little guy. Takes great photos. But the flash is wanting. So I am looking for a third party flash. I see the Godox TT350F is small and light weight which is perfect for the X100. The specs say it will work with the T and F model. Not sure what the major difference between the models when it comes to external flash.

 

Before I run off and waste money on something that might not work, is there anyone here with the first release X100 using the TT350F? If so can you confirm the TTL status? If you have a different flash, i.e. Nissin, Neewer, or whatever, can you tell me what you have and if it works in TTL mode.

 

Not interested in a Fuji flash, they are a little on the high price side. I know, you get what you pay for.

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't have experience with either that camera, or that particular flash. All I can say is that the 3 Godox flashes that I have work well, and as advertised. The build quality is fairly good and they do a decent job with TTL exposure - of which I'm not a great fan BTW.

 

Also the price seems very attractive!

Thanks rodeo_joe. TTL has its quirks. The camera and its internal flash are good, but sometimes I might need a little more light. I want the camera to control that light. I have a lot of flashes but not compatible with the Fuji.

Afraid I can't really help either, but you don't seem to be getting an answer...

 

I use Godox flashes and triggers with my Fuji cameras, everything works as it should. I don't have an X100 though, nor a TT350, although both are on my wish list.

 

My Xpro flash commander works just fine with my X-E1 (first generation X series camera), some functions are missing, but that's because the camera doesn't support them.

 

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have a lot of flashes but not compatible with the Fuji.

I continue to use 'obsolete' flashes with recent cameras. The centre triggering contact is common to all ISO hotshoes; meaning you can usually fire almost any flash on almost any camera. Just choose a flash with a known low trigger voltage. Canon and Nikon speed lights of the last 30 years or more all fall into this category.

 

If you also choose a flash with Auto Aperture exposure control, then a high degree of exposure automation is possible as well. Bounced or direct. Nikon's SB-25 is one such example. In fact I find its AA mode to be more consistent and reliable than Nikon's i-TTL exposure.

So I went ahead and got one. Works great. No issues with TTL. I do appreciate all the answers. Normally I would use a light meter and off camera flash. But sometimes I want a quick shot and the internal flash either has too much or not enough depending on the subject.

 

Again, thanks.
