bzdingo Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Is there a way to hack the nx1 to make any flash work? What kind of setup do you guys use? Samsung flashes are so expensive. Thanks for the help. I still use the flash that came with it. God bless you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I have the metz 44, the samsung ed sef15 and two samsung sef8 (which I use with a flash cord). All of them are built for NX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 ..and I have a Metz 26, a SEF42 (which I have never used, yet) and I will be getting a Metz 44 beggining of May. @bzdingo what equipment do you have? What are your needs? If you are a pro photographer, earning money from flash photography, or rich, get the expensive sef540 (five hundred something!) for around 450$. If you are a semi-pro (just a few paid gigs per year), or an advanced user (1 paid gig, or none!), I hope that the SEF42 and Metz 44 are good to go. For less, just take one of the flash cords Marco mentioned and a sef15 or sef20 (this seems nice as well, small and portable), but I am not sure if these flashes work with the latest NX, owners have to confirm that, because they are kind of old flashes. I hope the sef42 works too, maybe I have to open the box, and use it! Are the sef8 capable for anything? I mean you have the 15, right, it must be better than the 8, and can go to the cord, and it still quite portable. How are the sef15 coping? I see some very cheap on ebay from time to time, and looking really small and portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzdingo Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I would probably need to get a metz 44. But they are hard to find now. I usually do action shots, and macro. Thanks for all your input. This is why I wish they hacked the flashes too because samsung flashes are so expensive haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
