Which flash for S1 / S2 Pro

[kiama]

Any recommendation for a suitable flash for the S1 / S2 Pro ?

Nikon Sb24, 25, 26 or 28 would be good You don't really need the DX flash unlike the D100 or D1X... read that there's some limitations due to the body though.

Note that TTL for the S2Pro only works up to ISO 400 .. So for ISO 800 and 1600 flash, you need to work either in A or M ...

Since the SB 80DX is about the same price as the SB 28, you might as well get the SB 80DX .. might have better resale value later on ...

Flash sync works to 1/125 of second. Flash metering uses five TTL sensors and can be balanced, slow-synced, and synchronized with the rear curtain. Unlike the Nikon digital SLRs, Fuji seems to have made Nikon's regular TTL system work just fine with the SuperCCD. In other words, the Fuji S2 can read TTL values by reflections off the CCD during exposure. The drawback to this is that TTL is only supported to ISO 400 (I suspect this has something to do with the changes Fuji made to the TTL meter reflection readings, as the N80 body supports higher ISO TTL). Thus, all your old Nikon Speedlights (e.g., SB-24, SB-25, SB-26, SB-28) work just fine with the S2--you don't need a DX-type Speedlight. Indeed, it's a joy to be able to use a wireless SB-26 with TTL on the S2, something that simply blows away the Nikon digital flash system.
