Mount Shoe Guide No. Rated 4 out of 5 by George H. From Really nice flash with one drawback This is a really great little flash. It is compact and quite powerful. My only complaint with it is that the one feature that I bought the flash for was the one that doesn't work! That is the High Speed Sync function which no one ever takes the time to mention.
For some reason, Fuji has decided to disable this function and Nissin is supposed to be working on a solution for this but unfortunately for anyone who bought one of these, your stuck with it until when and if Nissin gets around to engineering a fix for this, and when they do, the unit will have to be shipped back to Nissin for a firmware update. Oh well Caveat Emptor (Let the buyer beware)! Rated 4 out of 5 by Bob from Seems Very Good at the first wedding! I've been using the Nissan i40 with my Fujifilm XT-1 and XE-2 camera.
And it's worked very well; except that sometimes it seemed a bit under powered. One wedding under my belt with the i60a; results were impressive. Seems to recycle faster, and I had fewer shots that seemed underexposed.
It's a bit heavier than the i40, but, I think this is a winner. Also used flash in HSS (in manual mode) and was able to shoot at 1/2000th sec ISO 250 f4 and overpower the sun. Attached photo shot at ISO 800.
1/160th sec f7.1. With Nissan i60a and XT-1, XF 10-24 F4 lens at 22mm. Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good unit for the money A good all around flash unit for Fuji cameras. More powerful than the smaller Nissin i40 unit without being as huge as the top of the line units from Fuji, Canon, and Nikon. It's slightly bulky on an XPro2, but not too bad. TTL seems to work well with only an occasional blown out or underexposed shot, but honestly, it probably performs better than a top of the line Canon flash as far as consist exposures without a glitch.
I love the lighted control screen. It's very easy to adjust in the dark unlike the Nissin i40 flash, which has only manual dials that are hard to adjust in dark conditions. Not quite as powerful as larger brand name units, but I feel that's a good trade off for the smaller size that is more in sync with the size of the Fuji system. A small Fuji body just looks ridiculous with a larger flash mounted on top and is hard to handle with a flash that weighs nearly as much as the camera!
The i60 is about as large a flash as I would feel comfortable using on an XPro2. Rated 4 out of 5 by George H. From My third Nissin speed light I have two Nissin i40's, one for an older Nikon and one for my XPro1 Fuji.
I bought the i60a to use on my XT1. In almost all capacities, the i60a performs flawlessly, delivering properly exposed images with good consistency. I also like the new dial setup and LCD screen on the back of the unit. The ratcheting control wheel allows me to adjust the EV by feel when holding the flash using a sync cord. The i60a also provides plenty of power with a guide number of 197 and the capability to zoom out to 200mm. The entire unit seems to be very well constructed and the mechanism for the tilt head so far is solid and tight. I am however knocking off 1 star for the deactivated high speed sync button, and Nissans inability to give a definitive answer as to when this will be corrected with a firmware upgrade.
Other than that, I am very pleased with this speed light and would by another in a heartbeat. Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Perfect for X-T2 and now High Speed Sync Purchased this for my daughters college graduation as it was outside and I needed a fill flash. Excellent build construction and very intuitive to use (not like my Canon 600EX-RT. When I started using it we did some large group shots and it worked perfectly. I also found out that High Speed Sync is now available on the i60A, but you have to send it back to the USA distributor - New England Imaging Distribution (NEID) for the update. Totally worth it.
My Nissin i60a (from Cameta via Amazon-ordered Saturday) arrived about 2 hours ago. Please be aware that these are very preliminary results with little manual reading and no visit to the Nissin website.
Since I've three other Nissin air flashes, plus the i40a, including an i60a for the Sony, I am pretty familiar with how these work. The good:.
On a XT2, In both TTL modes (TTL) and (A) the flash works well, as does flash exposure compensation in standard TTL mode. It exposes the way it is supposed to. And bounce flash works quite well at least in the medium-sized room I tested it in. The flash works similarly well on my an X-Pro-2.
(This does not as yet have the new firmware bringing it up to parity with the XT2. So on both old and current firmware, the i60a works fine in TTL mode.) No worries about basic flash operation and exposure. It appears to be as powerful on the Fuji as it is on the Sony The bad:. If you watch the FujiGuys video outlining the features of the Fuji 500 flash, you'll see many menu items unlocked for red-eye control and other advanced features. On the Nissin, only the basic items in the on-camera menu are enabled-no more than with the bundled x8 clip on flash. The truly ugly:. Manual mode does not work at all.
It is just like the i40-a bare hint of flash. And there's no difference between minimum power and full power. Illumination is exactly the same. HSS does not work in either TTL mode. Pressing the button triggers no function at all.
And the bizarre:. When in manual mode, pressing the HSS button turns on HSS, at least the flash now says 'HSS.'
But the flash still fires at minimum power-it does flash at faster shutter speeds than 1/250, but exposure in manual mode is still broken and the flash barely fires at all. I have NOT tried using the Fuji to control other Nissin Air compatible flashes (i have 3 Sony-version Airs-two 700's and 1 i60a).
Supposedly, any AIR flash can work in TTL mode off camera with Nissin Air system. Haven't tried this yet-and not sure if on camera flash can operate as a commander/transceiver or merely in off camera TTL mode if triggered by an AIR compatible commander (Sony, Canon, Nikon firing off one of those branded bodies). I seem to recall that my Sony i60a on camera also triggered a D700a off camera, both in TTL mode-but I could be wrong. In any case, I will try this when I have the time-but I'm leaving for Europe in a few days and probably won't try it before then. (I am planning on taking the XT2 and XPro2 + i60a with me). I'd love to hear about your experiences with the i60a.
