XF Camera and Profoto B1, B2, or D2 Users

If you have a Phase One XF camera system along with a Profoto B1/B2/D2 stobe, have you tested the new TTL functionality in the latest XF firmware release? If so, what have your results been? I can't get the combination to produce consistent results. In my controlled lab with the XF lock down on a camera stand and me triggering the camera from a tethered PC, the results are all over the map. After every trigger, I check the power level on my B1 and it fluctuates greatly from exposure to exposure. I don't mean by 1 or 2 decimal points, but whole numbers. So I'm curious what others have been experiencing.

I have the XF and Profoto B1s.

Coincidentally, I briefly played with the TTL functionality just this weekend. I spent less than 10 minutes doing so, so I hesitate to draw any conclusions, but it worked fine. I certainly didn't notice any sort of inconsistency or the kind of fluctuations in power levels that you mention. But -- now that you've mentioned it -- I will test more thoroughly and see if I experience the same thing you did.
