Any Fujifilm x100 series shooters use a Nikon speedlight on it?

You should be able to. When I had an x100t, I usually used a Yongnuo flash but I think most flashes will work in manual only.

Only in manual mode unless you get an adapter like RoboSHOOT review: hybrid TTL flash trigger for Nikon/Fuji | Lighting Rumours

I've seen a few Fuji mirrorless users with all sorts of non-Fuji flashes but to my understanding there's no TTL; which makes sense.
I don't know if you're into off-camera flash I'll mention a wireless trigger I've heard of, but have no direct experience with, that DOES allow for TTL on Fuji bodies when paired with a Nikon flash. It's called ROBOShoot and I really know next to nothing about it. Sounds cool though!!

Thanks Paul. Brent did mention Roboshoot above. I do use OCF as well, but I like using my little camera at small family type events with the SB300 indoors. Does a great job. As there are no settings on that flash, it's pretty much just shooting a signal to fire the flash and that's it. I'll take a look at that ROBOshoot thing.

I might've said yes, but I tried out this semi-ancient Vivitar I got in a bundle with my Telemegor 180/5.6 and a M42 Praktica body and it works perfectly fine for a "$1." And it makes sense why 300 didn't work if it doesn't have any of its own controls thus relies solely on the camera FW to set and fire it.
Any bigger/manual flashes should work just fine.

Was the SB-300 set to manual?Update: My X100 arrived on Friday and the SB-300 does not fire on the shoe
Considering is won't work as a remote flash either, it will be listed for sale soon. Anyone interested?
Because I did use my SB-600 with my Fuji X-10 which should have the same connectors as the X-100. but I do remember a flash setting that had to be activated before I got it to work. Since the X-100 probably (I'm not sure) has a flash, you've got to tell the camera to send the flash signal to an external flash. Check your menu before selling your SB-300.
There are no menus or settings on the SB-300. It's either on or off.
Yes, my other lights work fine on the shoe (Lumopro LP160, sb700, sb24). It will be nice to have a smaller light I can keep in the bag - the EF-20 looks like just what I need. It will bounce and is compact like the SB-300 and will also work off camera which my SB-300 could not.
I was thinking more of an "in camera menu". It's been a few years, but I remember having to go into the camera's menu to make my Nikon flash work.

I'm pretty sure that since 300 relies solely on camera commands, it may require a Nikon FW to control it at all. Other flashes that can work in manual mode don't care.
