Fuji Strobe GA?

MatthewThompson · 02-01-2010

Anyone have any experience with the flash & bracket Fuji sold for the GA cameras? Looks like it would be a knockout combo for wedding/event candid work.

KEH has only had one in the 6 months I've been looking, and it was reasonably priced (EX condition, less than 100 bucks) but I missed out.

I landed a strobe, so now the hunt for the bracket ensues.

I've seen the odd one for around $50, but I'm a patient creature so I can lie in wait.

OK, the flash got here yesterday, and I have to say it's refreshing to use after the Canon wunderkind I'm used to. The complaints and calls for obscure manuals online from people dumbfounded by its operation have obviously never used anything but fully automatic flashguns. It's deceptively simple and quite flexible. I've been using it with my 5D/50 1.8 all morning and have been quite happy with the results.

Radar's still on for the Bracket GA.

I managed to put together a set with the Grip GA, Bracket GA and Strobe GA.

I believe the bracket + grip set can be found on ebay quite easily. It's harder to buy the grip GA on it's own.

Cheers,
