When Fujifilm announced the WCL-X100 wide angle converter for the X-100 series cameras, I was a bit confused. The difference between the standard 35mm equiv (23mm) angle of view and the 28mm equiv you got with the converter was negligible. If it went to 21mm or even 24mm equiv, I would have been more interested. But I understand why they didn’t go wider, since the optical viewfinder on the X-100(s) couldn’t accommodate such a wide lens (although they could have been creative and added some sort of OVF adaptor as well…) When Fujifilm recently announced the TCL-X100 this spring, my ears perked up. A 50mm equiv focal length with a rangefinder-style camera… now that’s more like it! When Fujifilm Canada asked if I wanted to test it out for a few weeks, I immediately said yes! Let’s check out this monster converter and see how it performs on the X-100S…
