In 2016, I joined team Fuji after being extremely impressed with the X-T2 body. I had been watching mirrorless technology for a while, but this was the first time a system had everything I wanted in a camera body.

Speedlights often go hand in hand with shooting portraits on the street, especially at night, but small flashes have one big issue.
