This flash would be soOOOoo much better if you could get your hands on it. Reflex labs customer service is sub par and the ordering system they use relies completely on being on their website for the 5 minutes the flash is available for order… AND they don’t have any pre-order options to guarantee getting one.

Fuji EF X8 is BETTER - full TTL control and a better position as its upright, less red eye, solid fit on camera. Can also be used on manual or with compenstation. Soft clear tissue can soften the output. Also cheap - so shop around folks.....

Seems like it's working pretty well for you. It's almost like the body should have included a built-in flash like seems to be less common than it used to be. 😕 You can adjust flash exposure level via ISO and aperture but not so much with shutter speed as the electronic flash burst is sort of fixed at a very short duration (shutter speeds slower than x-sync will allow increasing amounts of ambient light allowing the more distant background to show more and the image in general less flashy.

I wonder if a little piece of tape on the back of the flash near where it mounts to the body will help "fix" the flash falling off (a small piece of gaffer's tape maybe). It might also be a good thing it doesn't lock down as I have seen flashes get stuck in hotshoes or break off, etc). If you need the flash a bit higher to clear lenses you can buy flash extension rods which raise the flash higher up (although this does add to the bulk of the overall setup). I mean something like this for $50 is almost a no-brainer for the times when you just need a bit more light in your scene and is great for those camras that don't include built-in flashes (like some of the higher-end ML cameras). And for the $50 you could probably pick up a few of these for the same price as even a cheap manual (full-sized) hotshoe flash)
