Oh I have none of that gear. I'm using this

FUJIFILM EF-X8 Flash 16651497 B&H Photo Video (bhphotovideo.com)

On an X-T2

Same principles apply, but you’ll be extremely limited in your ability to bounce light. Direct light from a flash is generally harsh and unflattering. Either way, the EX-F8 isn’t very powerful. If there’s any possibility of obtaining or borrowing a more powerful flash unit I’d strongly consider it.

For general information about flash photography I’d start with David Hobby’s Strobist 101 tutorial.
