X-System Flash Performance???

Owned an S2 and S5 PRO back in the day. Great image quality - loved them.

Fast Forward to today:  I was considering an OLY E-M1 or E-M5 but the X-T1 has caused me to completely rethink the direction I'll take.

I used to use Nikon flash with my S5 and it performed extremely well (consistent and reliable results). I'm "assuming" that the X-series operates similarly with shoe mounted flash - so results with the X-T1 would be similar in "consistency and reliability of exposure" in direct, balanced w/ambient and bounce flash exposure.

  • Looking at the Fujifilm site, the EF-42 seems to be their best flash unit. Questions are:
  • Do most use the EF-42?  If not, what do most use?
  • Does this system produce reliable and accurate TTL exposure?

Thanks much in advance for sharing.
