Teleconverter compatiblity

[mcewena]

Tell me experienced Fujifolk, Is it just a matter of time before lens like the XF 55-200 or XC50-230 have a firmware release that will support the XF teleconverters or is that not in Fuji's game plan?  Do I just start saving up for the 70-300 now?

The XF55-200mm isn't compatible with the teleconverter, and it's a physical issue, not Firmware. The teleconverter compatible lenses have a recessed rear element, and the teleconverter has a protruding front element that fits into that space. This isn't the case for the XF 55-200mm, and XC 50-230mm
