XF2X TC teleconverter problem/question

Hello XFFs 

 

I use a Fuji X-T2 and I've had the 50-140 2.8 for a couple years and love it.    I recently picked up a used copy of the XF2X TC teleconverter over an internet transaction.   It arrived today, I popped it on the body, mounted the 50-140 and when I turned it on, the LCD started flashing and the camera was clicking.  

 

I was disappointed until I remembered that the 50-140 needed a firmware update to operatewith with the TC, so I downloaded and applied the update (1.00 -> 1.21)  to the 50-140 lens but the problem persists!  In my head I vaguely remember there might have been a need to apply the firmware updates in a certain order, but I'm not sure and web searches have not been helpful. 

 

Did I get screwed on a dud TC by an internet scoundrel? Or am I just missing something obvious?

Glad I read this.  I have the 50-140 Zoom which I love, and have been looking for a pre-owned 1.4 TC but have found none for sale (although I've only been looking for a few weeks).  After reading this I think I'll bite the bullet and buy the TC new.  I assume that few that own the 1.4 TC part with it.  I've heard mixed reviews about the 2.0 TC with either the 100-400 or the 50-140 and the 1.4 TC seems to get unqualified great reviews from those that use it.

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      X Raw Studio works with image files on your computer - not the image files on the camera card

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
