You should make a video comparing the 50mm to the cropped 50mm mode. I’m sure the image looks better on the physical lens but I could see using it occasionally especially since the RAW has the full image
That’s a great idea. Most likely I will stay away from the digital crop/zoom modes. But I am curious about how they look as well. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@jwanger142 sorry, let me clarify. I do use the crops (even on my sony a1) when I need the reach and I can't physically get closer, but I would say that happens only occasionally. I;ve just trained myself throughout the years to walk in closer whenever possible. it's just an old habit of mine.
The entire benefit to the new 40mp sensor, is being able to use the crop modes. I have the vi and both conversion lenses. 90% of the time, I’ll carry the camera on its own with no conversion lens. When I travel, I will bring the conversion lenses. Now I have 28/35/50/70/105 in a small/light package. I won’t use the conversion lenses all the time, but they’ll be there if I need them. Everything fits in a small sling. With ibis and 10 bit 422 and 4k/60, I have a little pocket rocket that can do photo and video, don’t have to carry any nd filters, and everything fits in a small sling.
What nobody is addressing is that these converters open up more possibilities in combination with the "digital crop" which allows the WCL to become an equivalent 41mm lens, and the TCL a 70mm lens, both at a reduced resolution of 20mp, or if choosing the reduced resolution of 10mp the WCL turns into a 58mm lens, and the TCL a 100mm lens.
Great video! I used these conversion lens with my x100V. As time went on, I tended to not use the 50 mm equivalent lens at all (too bulky and heavy). With the 28 mm equivalent lens I would tend to spend the entire day with it on. I so agree with you .. switching back and forth throughout the day is a bit much.
I also like 28/50 combo. I use xpro3+18/35. If I want to carry two cameras, I bring GR3 and Xpro3+35. Using conversion lens on x100 defeats its purpose and the screw on/off looks troublesome than quick release with a push button/twist.
For me, both conversion lenses are probably too much in terms of keeping a nice compact kit, but I do like the WCL to add a bit of versatility that you can't get by cropping. But for a bit of travel these add enough versatility that you could take this on a trip and feel like you have decent coverage without having to take a whole backpack full of lenses too. I never bothered with them in the past but the larger sensor and ibis might make it worth it and counter the added weight.
Great point. I agree. The WCL is small enough that it makes sense to have it in your bag no matter what. And you’re right it gives you something g that cropping alone can’t do c
Great review of the lenses. But here is the thing. What you also get with those lenses is the leaf shutter. And this is a big deal. Flash sync is a non issue. On a bright day, use that built in nd and with flash sync, you can get great outdoor portraits.
Man I forgot about that. In the past I did the same thing with my Sony RX1. Because that camera had a leaf shutter as well, I was able to shoot portraits wide open at f/2 with the maximum shutter speed as 1/2000 of a second. Thanks for bringing this up. I’ll need to try that technique out with the x100vi.
I have both of these lenses for my X100v and use the 28mm the most. I thought abut getting the X100vi but I have the X-T5 and the vi is just a smaller version of that camera.
XT-5 looks amazing, which seems like a bigger x100 camera and you can change lenses. It sounds like those 2 cameras go well together if you ever have to shoot something like a wedding or event. The x100 could be the wide camera and then have something like 50 or 85 equivalent on the XT-5
Bro... you know how it is, I don't go to the gym, so I gotta flex some other way ;) just playing... My local shop is really good with their customers and I just happen to pre-order at the right time... thanks for checking out the video and hope you get your x100vi soon!
Nice video. I wish I had hair like yours! I have both converters and mostly used the wide one on my x100v, then I also carry the xpro3 with the 35 1.4. That gives a 2 camera setup with 28 and 50 focal lengths.
I have both lens, I rarely use the 28… I prefer using the standard 35 focal length for street photography, and the 50 focal for the occasional portrait. I keep the camera and both lenses in Peak Designs 3L Sling.
I have those conversion lenses as well and switching between them when you're shooting is kind of a pain. Usually I select one adapter and stick with it for the day.
yep..l after walking around shooting for an hour, I got to same conclusion as you. I'm either just gonna use 2 cameras with the 2 focal lengths I want (when the situation calls for it -- most likely for events/weddings). Or stick to one focal length that best suits the subject of the day. but I found that most of my selects and favorite images were used with the stock 35mm equiv. lens.
I don’t understand why everyone says this. They literally take basically the same amount of time as switching a lens on an ILC camera. I mean sure, you don’t want to be switching it in and out every few shots, but who does that with an ILC either?
@@ramblingcameraman990Part of the issue for me is that I own the first versions of the conversion lenses, which means that I have to go into the menu and tell the camera what's mounted on it. But even if I had the updated models, it's still not as smooth and practiced as the quick rotation and snapping in of an interchangeable lens. I shoot almost entirely with primes and I'm very used to changing lenses on the fly. Anyway, I'm happy to hear that you don't have a problem with the converters.
@@palinode ahhh, yeah first version would be annoying for sure and definitely adds to the hassle. Do you at least have it setup on a custom function button? Like I said, I’m just truly confused as every UA-cam video I watched talking about the conversion lenses they say something like “it’s a hassle to switch it out so I just leave it on for the day”. Unless you’re swapping filters from one to the other or something (which also takes time on regular lenses), it literally takes like 2-3 seconds, so all the comments confuse the hell out of me.
@@ramblingcameraman990 I could map the conversion lens to a function button, but I've got my camera set up pretty specifically. If I used the lenses more frequently I'd most likely do that, but right now I've got everything mapped out into an ideal configuration for me. But as I said, it's not really about the time it takes - it's about how the photographer experiences it. When I swap interchangeable lenses, I don't have to think about it beyond which lens I want. The conversion lenses interrupt my flow, if that makes sense - I have to stop, look at the threads, make sure they're aligned properly, screw it in. Obviously this works really well for you, but I think your experience is the exception. You're just built different!
Thank you for this, I’ve had the IV & V. I bought the WCL a year after getting the V & I really like the images. I should be getting my VI soon and look forward to using it.
I own both and always carry them in my bag. They are so small to bring and I find them useful. I use the WCL if I really can’t take a step back to compose my shot. I use the TCL mostly for taking portraits. Together with the two conversion lenses it is my perfect every day companion, covering at least 90% of my photography needs. Being a very compact and light setup, it still delivers me a 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm focal length.
@@desmondedwards6309 I don’t think so. I much more prefer the ‘rangefinder like’ style. And the X100 is in almost all situations all I need. I do have the X-Pro2 btw, I use it for my zooms as well
For me I would stick to the built-in 23/35FF and only switch to the 18/28FF if I couldn't back up enough for the frame I wanted. The TCL is far too large for the small body, so just use the built-in digital zoom on the 40MP sensor (yes I know you will loose some pixels). Also, black lenses/conversion lenses (even on silver bodies) make them appear smaller! 🙂
Agreed. initially after using the 2 conversions lenses, I feel the same way about the WCL being super useful when you're in a tight space. and the WCL does seem really front heavy and throws the whole thing a bit off balance
That’s right. It will still be 40mp at 50mm with the TCL. Someone pointed out in the comments that from there, you can crop in a bit more and there are crop presets that turn your files of view to 70mm and 100mm (these 2 will be lower megapixels)
Thanks! I got the Hoage one from amazon, but I might return it -- it's got a sharp edge on the top-left corner that I'm afraid might get me sooner or later. I just ordered another one that looks exactly the same except it's got a rounded top left edge.
exactly! that's what I would use it for as well. and perhaps if I want to get some interaction between people at an event without getting too close to them.
yes, you can do that, but you'll lose resolution. if you want to keep the 40mp then the only option is to use the tele-conversion lens. and if you do, you'll still have the option of cropping in even more if you want to get to 75mm or 100mm equivalent.
Thanks for the great video! Do these conversion lenses crop into the image at all? I feel like I saw on the x100V that was the case, but can't seem to find anything online about it. Thanks!
That’s crazy dude. Sorry to hear that. I hear it’s easier in some places than others. But honestly who knows how the supply chain works for these things. I’ve been hearing really bad wait times in some areas.
Rather reminds me of an old Pentax SP1000 where we had to screw lenses in. Think I only used a 50mm and 135mm. It was all very simple then in the 1970s. We just concentrated on the images we were after rather than the tech. Even the lovely VI is rammed full of tech. Does it help or hinder us. Think I’ll just use Velvia, Provia, Reala and B&W like I did for my film stock. Worked for decades.
@@movetomirrorless but we had to learn all about f stops, DOF, metering (manual for me to start) and the inverse shutter speed to focal length stability equation. Let alone fill in flash rules, filter adjustments, then go and develop the flippin films plus enlarge them. However, learning a trade from first principles and with patience to perfect it pays off in the long term. It’s great that young people are trying film out too but it’s now so expensive…
If I Could, I´d buy 2 two of those bad guys - like you do! I didnt get my preorder with the first batch. But hey, hope my preorder come with the second batch. I do own a Sony A7IV. With the Fujifilm X100VI I will build up the system like you do, with accescoires and the 2 converter lens. PS.: Hey bro, I can see your timeless Design Casio watches! I do own severals model of them. Semingly you do have a flair for vintage timeless Design.
The problem with these cameras is that conversion lenses can only change the FOV. They can't change the rendering, the CoC or the depth of field and geometry.
fair enough. you gotta hand it to fuji though. no one has come close to the x100 in terms of bang for the buck. it's hard to find all these spaces packed into a compact camera.
that's a valid point. on the other hand, I've shot with one card slot for over 10 years, when I used to shoot canon between 2005 - 2012. and even when I switched to sony back in the a7ii days. we didnt get dual card slots until I got the a9, and the a7iii
Unless you absolutely need the ND filter and leaf shutter the X100v come standard, Then i believe the conversion lenses defeat the purpose of this X100 design, you may as well get an XE4 with the 18, 23 & 35 f2 mini prime lenses and that opens up a lot more options such as the tiny 16mm f2.8 and the awesome 50mm f2.
I see what you're saying... I have to think out loud on this because I am not 100% familiar with fuji's whole line up yet... is the XE series still in production? I thought they phased that out. what I was thinking is the closest choice is the X-S20 + 23mm f/2, but that would run you almost $1800, which would be $300 over the x100vi, and you would only have a 26mp sensor. The other option I think is the XT-5, which gives you similar IBIS and megapixel count, but if you add the 23mm lens, that totals up to over $2200. either way, the XS20 and XT5 gives you more flexibility with interchangeable lenses. But what the x100 gives you is the smaller footprint... am I seeing this correctly?
Xe4 has no weather sealing, no built in ND, no built in flash, no 10 bit internal, no 4k60, 26mp so you can’t crop and keep high quality if you’re rolling with a pancake, no ovf, etc. There is literally no other camera that offers what the x100vi does, especially in such a small package.
@@ramblingcameraman990 for most people those are not a huge lose, especially the leaf shutter, who in the right mind would buy a X100v for flash photographer? Which is really the only benefit the leaf shutter gives, and putting a flash would be so top heavy. Ultimately the image quality coming off the XeV and prime lenses should be in the for front of your priorities, the conversion adapters compromise image quality as we all know. I agree the ND filter would be handy for water/ landscapes slow shutter but there is no perfect camera. and cameras such as the XT4/ XT5 or Xe4 provide much better value than a fashion statement.
@@eliaspap8708 I think you clearly misunderstand the X100VI. That’s ok, a million pre orders tells you what you need to know. And no, the conversion lenses don’t compromise quality.

Bummer man. Sorry to hear that 😞

Cameras are cool, but damn, I that hair!🤣

That's some hair! LOL
haha... thanks, it keeps my audio clean during windy conditions!! :D
Unless you absolutely need the ND filter and leaf shutter the X100v come standard, Then i believe the conversion lenses defeat the purpose of this X100 design, you may as well get an XE4 with the 18, 23 & 35 f2 mini prime lenses and that opens up a lot more options such as the tiny 16mm f2.8 and the awesome 50mm f2.
I see what you're saying... I have to think out loud on this because I am not 100% familiar with fuji's whole line up yet... is the XE series still in production? I thought they phased that out. what I was thinking is the closest choice is the X-S20 + 23mm f/2, but that would run you almost $1800, which would be $300 over the x100vi, and you would only have a 26mp sensor. The other option I think is the XT-5, which gives you similar IBIS and megapixel count, but if you add the 23mm lens, that totals up to over $2200. either way, the XS20 and XT5 gives you more flexibility with interchangeable lenses. But what the x100 gives you is the smaller footprint... am I seeing this correctly?
Xe4 has no weather sealing, no built in ND, no built in flash, no 10 bit internal, no 4k60, 26mp so you can’t crop and keep high quality if you’re rolling with a pancake, no ovf, etc. There is literally no other camera that offers what the x100vi does, especially in such a small package.
good points... if you look at all of that, then the x100vi is a bargain.@@ramblingcameraman990
@@ramblingcameraman990 for most people those are not a huge lose, especially the leaf shutter, who in the right mind would buy a X100v for flash photographer? Which is really the only benefit the leaf shutter gives, and putting a flash would be so top heavy. Ultimately the image quality coming off the XeV and prime lenses should be in the for front of your priorities, the conversion adapters compromise image quality as we all know. I agree the ND filter would be handy for water/ landscapes slow shutter but there is no perfect camera. and cameras such as the XT4/ XT5 or Xe4 provide much better value than a fashion statement.
@@eliaspap8708 I think you clearly misunderstand the X100VI. That’s ok, a million pre orders tells you what you need to know. And no, the conversion lenses don’t compromise quality.
