Fujifilm TCL-X100 teleconverter for X100/S samples gallery |
Barney Britton

I’ve been an X100 and X100S user for about three years now. There are many things that I appreciate about both cameras, but chiefly what keeps me coming back to them is their relatively small size, almost silent shutter and excellent, very sharp 35mm equivalent prime lens. I’ve played around with the WCL-X100 screw-in wide converter, which provides a 28mm (equivalent) field of view and while I’ve always been impressed by the minimal quality degradation, 28mm isn’t useful enough to me that I attach it very often. The design philosophy and operation of the TCL-X100 is exactly the same as the older WCL-X100, but rather than taking the effective focal length down, it increases it from 35mm to 50mm equivalent. This might seem like a relatively modest increase, but the difference between 35mm and 50mm is pretty significant for the sort of photos that the X100 and X100S do best – candid portraiture and street-type shooting. Like the older WCL-X100 the TCL-X100 is attached by screwing it onto the front of the camera’s lens, and in-camera geometric corrections are activated using a menu option. With the menu option activated, a small yellow symbol is also displayed in the viewfinder to remind you that the corrections are being applied but there is no electronic connection between the camera and TLC-X100 (so you’ll need to remember to activate / deactivate the menu option when you attach or detach the lens)……..
