Nice review. A few questions: being anal, I have very nice B+W filters protecting my Nikon and Zeiss lenses, as well as my 100T, from within the lens hood. Obviously you can't use that lens hood on the TCL-X100, and I note the front of the conversion lens is a bit protruding. Can you put a filter on top of it? Can you put (if one exists) a 67mm lens hood on it?

 

Thanks.

Hi David-

 

That's exactly what I do. I use B+W MRC filters on all of my lenses rather than hoods and caps (my lenses get exposed to hairspray and sand at weddings), though I do like the silver Fuji hood on the X100s when not using the TCL. It works great. Since it has a small gash in the filter, I'm glad it wasn't the front of the lens!

 

Best,
Bradley

Thanks for the review but could I just make a layout comment; it's difficult to read the sections that have been pasted over the images. I feel I've missed a large part of an otherwise good review because I simply can't read it. No one else seems to have mentioned this so I'm wondering if perhaps there is a way to read the text without the images underneath?

Hey Bradley really love your work and style.  I just bought the 35 1.4 after the FW 4.0 update on the xt1 which now makes the autofocus so much better than before.  I also have the x100t (and s...love the upgraded X100T!).  

 

Do you have this combo if so why do you use the TCL which takes longer to put on the x100 vs just running and gunning with the 35 1.4 on the xt1 (or xpro1/ex2)? Thanks

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      xPro1 can't change aperture with fujinon 27mm

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.

      Potential bug in X100VI - C mode, screen going very dark

      By sfainbraun · Posted

      I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
