You're getting up to speed with your Fuji Gear Christopher !
Wonderful pictures with the LeRolls touch
Congrats.

Always difficult to post pictures right after yours lol !
This one is from a Shoot held right before theses musicians went on stage at the Blue Whale in Los Angeles.
I just set a Godox AD200 on a softbox, took my 50-140mm @F4 and ISO160, had a very limited time, shot a couple images and voila!

Thanks man. Yeah I'm liking the Fuji quite a bit. That eye AF comes in quite handy. Hard to go back. Thinking of picking up a Godox AD200 and wireless trigger. How have you been liking yours?

It's been great really. Super portable and after about a year of regular use I would recommend that flash unit.
Coupled with the XPro Fuji version it is very reliable since I updated both firmware.
Sometimes in TTL there is issues with wrong metering and then wrong flash compensation but it's pretty rare.

It's otherwise rather consistent, I use it in manual mode mself as there was no TTL support for Pentax up until recently.
I had a couple weddings where it really shined outdoors.
Very good recycle time, instant as long as you're at or below 1/4 of power, about 1 sec below 1/2 power and a couple seconds at full power.

I do think a more powerful version might be better for your outdoor shoots though, check AD400 or AD600.
I was thinkin about buying a second one, coupled with the double AD200 adapter, for my outdoor shootings.

I was going to add either the 50mm f/2 or the 60/2.4 to my Fujifilm system but recently I've been very tempted by upgrading the body to something a bit better - an E2, T10 or T20, though the latter will require a bit more saving. I know lenses are a better investment but I rarely need anything longer than the 35mm I have and I think at this point I'd get more enjoyment and better pictures from a newer camera.

I still love the X-M1 though, it's served me very well and is still going strong.

IMO, the 60mm would be good for your style - I am missing mine, and may pick up another (just the hood is ridiculously large, and you can fix that with a collapsible rubber version).

I have the XT20, and am likely going to upgrade for the XT2 for the weather-sealing and the high-quality viewfinder. The XT10 is fantastic value, and in a few weeks when the XT20 is out, will be even more so. Have you considered the X-A3 or 5? IMO, same colours, Bayer sensor.

One of the things I'd like is a viewfinder as I've noticed recently some times when it would be handy to have rather than just the screen and the X-A cameras (like my X-M1) lack that.

You've confused me a bit with "in a few weeks when the XT20 is out".

AD600 due to the mount. I don't like the AD400 mount. Get 2 AD200 units and the bracket to put both of them in a softbox if you need the power and you can always separate them when you need 2 lights.
