Very pleased with condition and all paperwork and accessories included as boxed at the factory. Unfortunately, the flash does not respond to exposure adjustments made on the flash or by way of the camera control panel. After 47 years in the photography industry, I will find work-arounds, but I would rather not have to.

This is the best flash I have ever owned, and I have owned flashes from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Minolta, Olympus, Sunpak, Metz, Nissin and Vivitar over the past several decades. It's also the best flash system--even better than Nikon's famous system which I thought better back in the film days. (Olympus' flash system is very good too, probably second to Fujifilm). The controls are easy and intuitive, the design is excellent, and the build quality is over-the-top like everything Fujifilm makes. Next I'm hoping that Fujfilm releases a radio-trigger version of this, and perhaps even compatible with Elinchrom transmitters--I can dream can't I? To make up for the lack of this feature, I'm currently using the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Universal Plus Set which will fire every EF-X500 that you attach an Elinchrom Skyport receiver to. Plus, you can also fire your Elinchrom strobes simultaneously. Finally, if Fujifilm would release a mini version of this flash with the exact same functions for the smaller X-Cameras, it would be fantastic. Highly Recommended.

I found trying to jerry rig a flash and make it work didnt cut it, bought this Fuji and have never looked back. Dont hesitate if you need a full featured flash and pick up the power pack along with it, makes things very easy.

I spoke with Fujifilm reps in New York, and they said this flash will ship mid-November, fyi. I'm really looking forward to trying Fujifilm's first serious flash!

Be prepared to capture stunning images in any lighting condition with the EF-X500 TTL Flash for X-Series Cameras. This high-quality, durable flash unit is specifically designed for Fujifilm cameras, offering optimal performance and accurate exposure.
The EF-X500 TTL Flash boasts a maximum guide number of approximately 50 (ISO100.m) / 164 (ISO100.ft), allowing for flash photography at high shutter speeds or using multiple units in sync. The versatile flash head can be tilted up by 90 degrees, down by 10 degrees, to the left by 135 degrees, and to the right by 180 degrees, providing you with the flexibility to bounce light and create the perfect shot.
This advanced flash unit features a zooming illumination angle for focal lengths of 24mm - 105mm, covering an illumination angle of around 20mm when the wide panel is used. It also comes equipped with an LED video light that doubles as an AF assist light and catchlight, enhancing your photography experience.
The EF-X500 TTL Flash supports FP mode (high-speed flash sync), freeing photographers from worrying about shutter speed limitations. This feature allows for flash photography at any shutter speed, enabling you to focus more on capturing the perfect shot.
For creative photography, the EF-X500 can be used in a multi-flash setup, allowing you to control light on your subject and background freely. With TTL lighting control available with single flash and in the multi-flash setup, you can start shooting without making cumbersome adjustments to light output.
This portable flash unit is the first Fujifilm flash that is dust-resistant and water-resistant, making it a reliable companion for your weather-sealed X Series cameras. Its innovative design with a low center of gravity harmonizes perfectly with the lightweight and compact X Series cameras, maintaining ease of operation when mounted.
With the ability to register up to ten combinations of various settings, the EF-X500 TTL Flash for X-Series Cameras is a versatile tool for photographers looking to enhance their shooting capabilities.
