- You guys had some great followup questions from my last video about the use of conversion lenses with the Fujifilm X100VI, so I did some more digging and this video is the result of my digital photography excavation. Hope the info in here helps!
This exact video has been needed for years. Thank you for putting this together!
Glad it was helpful!
excellent breakdown, not just of the convertors but the abilities and versatility of the camera itself.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it.
This is a very good review video! Much better than most RUclips videos on this camera. The various crop comparisons help beginners like myself understand the equivalence of different lenses.
Wow, thanks for the comment.
Really useful - many thanks. You helped focus my attention on how this X100VI can fit in my system!
You are welcome!
Thank you I been looking for this specific topic for hours!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Best video about conversion lenses...
happy to help :)
Fantastic video! I've been hoping for someone to do this exact comparison since the X100VI's release, (I don't think I've ever commented on a RUclips video before, but this was so helpful I needed to let you know)
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate it.
Great video. Thanks for doing that. Will be very useful when/if my camera ever arrives.
Pleasure's all mine :)
Well done! Excellent presentation on the conversion lenses.
Glad you liked it!
Great addition to your previous converter lenses review.
appreciate it! thanks for watching this one too! :)
Outstanding! Great information 🫡🎖️🎖️🎖️🫡
thanks a bunch, glad it was useful! :)
Exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks for the very exhaustive comparison review.
Thanks for the comment and glad it was helpful. Just curious, you end up getting one of the conversion lenses?
@@movetomirrorless I'm still waiting for my X100VI to arrive. But I did add the wide Conversion lens to the order.
Very helpful. Waiting for mine. Love the compression with the 50ml conversion lens punched into the 70ml in camera crop mode. That will make for some sweet portraits.
Glad it was helpful!
Great work!
appreciate it!! thanks for watching!
Great vid! The frame comparison is helpful.
Appreciate it and glad it was helpful.
I like this video becaude it validates the use of these converters, the whole reason I want this camera is the compact size, but theres also these converters that allow you the versatility of different focal lengths, I don't want an XT-5 with a 23mm, it feels too bulky, I want the 23mm of the X100VI and sometimes I'll change it up, but nothing is as compact as the X100VI with it's normal lens
This is great thank you - main point I've taken away is that the WCL is useful as you can crop in but not out, and the size is more appealing than the TCL. I think the size bit is important as it's part of the spirit of the X100 series
glad it was helpful! happy shooting!
Useful video. Thank you for sharing your experience.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks a lot! Your results are very interesting!
thanks for watching! and for commenting!
Very good points you made clear to me
thanks for checking it out, and glad it was helpful
exactly what i was looking for, thank you.
You are welcome! Thanks for checking out the video.
Amazing reviews especially the compression test
Thank you!
Explained a lot thanks pal , the 35mm standard will do maybe the tele lens later, but first a little red fuji badge 🙂
My pleasure!! Glad it was helpful!!
Extremely useful video!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a really useful video
Glad it was helpful!
Totally useful! Thank you!
you're welcome, sir! thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
Very nice overview! 🙏
Much appreciated!
Amazing, thanks so much for the video.
btw i love the colors, what recipe have you used?
thanks again. I processed that in Lightroom, but really, I just used the Classic Chrome fujifilm profile that you can still apply in Lightroom, and just adjusted the contrast and white balance. so far, I am a big fan of Fuji's color profiles. I used to have to massage the sony files so much just to get to that point, and it only took me a minute with the x100vi files.
Thank you, I searched all over for this video.
Glad I could help!
Great video man! Just subbed 👌🏽
Thanks for the sub!
Wow. This was good. Will you be doing a comparison of the x100vi and the x-t50 by any chance
Don't plan to buy that camera, unless I get to borrow one or fuji has a loaner when their rep comes to town. I only review cameras that I buy, so.....
For web, and even small prints, 10mb work just fine. Have done it multiple times with my A7III in crop mode. And now we also have gigapixel and Lightroom enhance... resolution is definitely not an issue on any camera these days
Exactly.
It "was super useful' - thank you. I have just bought the vi and WCL. Took them to Switzerland/Alps last week and left my XT5/lenses at home. The X100vi performed well, including with the Fuji weather kit in some very snowy conditions. I used the 50 & 70 crops a lot. Whether the crops are more useful than cropping in post I have yet to experiment with; any view on this aspect?
That sounds awesome. Hope you had a blast. If I could only have one of the conversion lenses. I’d pick the WCL. I shoot in raw + JPEG and process the raw (and crop In post) if I need to print bigger than a 4x6. So in that sense the RAWs are super useful.
Such helpful video! Q: do the crop modes crop the RAW files or only the JPG/HIFs? I’m waiting for my preorder still and already bought the TCL.
Crops are not recorded on the RAWs which stay at full 40 megapixels. The crops are only on the JPEGs.
Thank you for the video. Any changes in autofocus in low light with the conversion lenses? Any way you can do a video showing the autofocus changes if any.
Thank you again.
Great video! I am assuming that the digital conversion modes only work on JPG"s and not on the raws, correct?
You are correct 👍🏽
Thank you Sir, l have the TCL it is a great lens to have.
niiiice! I love the standard Lens, but I feel like I'll be using the TCL pretty regularly
Hey! Thank you for explaining the crop modes 3:45. I wanted to ask can we also use the crop modes in video mode?
Doesn’t look like it unfortunately
I get so much angst choosing among lens options for cameras. It's like choosing between 178 kinds of toothpaste or shampoo. So I usually end up with a fixed lens camera. These adapters make a nice compromise. You still get focal length options but on a very limited scope. Subbed!
totally. I think that's the beauty of the x100 series. stick to 1 focal length and simplify the process. I think it is neat that you have the option of getting to a wider or more normal view if that's more of your cup of tea.
Good! Great and simple, weather-sealed, stabilized F2 kit
Yes indeed!
Thanks, super helpful, glad I bought the 50mm tele, just waiting for the body...lol
Have fun… when it arrives :)
Is that a Model P Squarehood? Does it interfere when looking through the viewfinder? Would love to know as there isn't many videos out on that Model P and the X100VI.
It’s the Haoge LH-X200S Square Metal Lens Hood… I don’t use viewfinder in optical mode. But it does block it.
I really want to get one. cool hair btw
thanks :)
Would love to see a similar video on portraits 🙏🏼
Noted!
Please can you demo some architectural shots inside and out with and without the wide converter to let us see linear or other distortions? I recall the tele has some.
Regarding the distortion. Did you mean the WCL or the TCL? I’ll have to look into that.
@@movetomirrorlesswide angle for architecture
@@movetomirrorless WCL
How does the TCL affect the bokeh? crop mode vs TCL - is the bokeh the same or is the bokeh on the TCL smoother? I was not able to spot any differences in your video. Thanks
It’s a bit smoother on the TCL. There’s a slight difference but not a lot.
I think at the price point and the size of the converters, an xt-5 or similar starts making a lot more sense. You can switch a lens faster than screw a converter on or off. Great video. You put a fair bit of work into it.
I see what you mean. I think the biggest thing about the x100vi is that right out of the box you can just go out and shoot. You don’t really need anything else. It’s kind of the perfect point and shoot with additional pro features at your disposal if you need it.
I finally have my pre-ordered X100VI. I do also own a Sony A7 IV. My question is: Does the Fuji X100 VI have the Soft Skin Effect, like the Sony A7IV???? Please can you check on it? I can't find it on the X100VI.
yes, it has soft skin effect
Does autofocus tracking with the green little points still work when in crop mode? Also, does eye AF work in the crop modes?
yep, works with both the 50 & 70 mm crop modes
Great camera for sure.
However, for barely more you can offer yourself a "mint" M240 and 50mm Voigtlander.
It's worth thinking about.
Hmmm. Leica would be nice :)
What sort of converters are these? I’m humming and haaing about getting the 6. I mostly want something compact for holiday videos and photos
I would just get the x100vi and wait to get one of these. see how you like the stock lens first.
I have both of these lens conversions which i got for a steal way back when i bought my 100X T. I moved to the F and have now traded to the VI. I have hardly ever used the Tele lens, the wide has been used at gigs when I'm pressed against the stage. Now with the bump in sensor i can't see me ever using it the tele.
it is kinda big for my tastes (since I'm going for the compact factor)... but if you like the 50 mm view, then this is money!
Do you mind posting the RAW samples for download so we can see the full quality?
If I get a chance I’ll do that.
When using these Fuji conversion lens does it retain the Weather Resistance?
I would assume so, because it seals the front element which is the only weak spot
Do the silver lens conversion colors match precisely to the silver x100vi camera and lens?
yes, they do.
Mabuhay kabarkada!
Mabuhay, kababayan!!!
Thank for this video. I was wondering about the effect of the TCL with cropping.
I’m impressed you have two X100VI bodies. I preordered on the 20th and B&H sent a message the 1st batch of bodies has been sent. The rest of us on the waiting list will have to wait an unknown period before our bodies are sent to us. When will that be? Unknown. What number on the waiting list am I? Unknown.
I am not amused.

That stinks. I preordered and prepaid through my local shop so that’s how I got it on the first batch.
Is there a drop in resolution when you use these conversation lenses pre-crop?
No drop in resolution, these magnify or demagnify the image from the standard lens without cropping although I'm not sure if it has any effect on the light transmission.
@chromatomic is right. No drop in resolution.
@@Chromatomic thank you!!
how does it handles xmas LED flickering lighting .... lot's of stripes ?????
this camera has a leaf shutter, so I Haven't seen any issues with that yet.
Hi, if I understand properly: using native lens with digital crop from menu, drops down the image quality from 40mp to 20 and 10mp. But if I use external tcl and wcl of 28 and 50mm, the 40mp will be same for taken images. Is that correct?
Yes, exactly
In addition. You can still use the crop modes when you have either the TCL or WCL and it will give you two additional tighter focal lengths for each lens but you’ll lose resolution on those crop modes. But you don’t have to use the crop modes if you want to keep the 40 mp resolution.
Wide angle converter to 20mm would be great
That would be sweet.
good to know cause im not wanting to carry converter lenses i want pocketable ;)
yep, definitely know what you mean, they do add a bit of heft.
What film simulation did u use?
I've just been tweaking the recipe from a classic chrome simulation, still working on it
The recipe looks nice 👍
What was the aperture set to???
wide open. so f/2
Just wish the WCL was 24mm equivalent instead.
If you get the WCL-x70 it is also compatible with the X100 and brings you to about 26mm, the only trade-off is you need to set the wide-conversion setting manually (or modify with magnets) and it's a bit larger and heavier but generally cheaper than the wcl-x100.
Agreed. That would be so much cooler
Basically, you have just shown rhe merits of an interchangeable lens system over the x100 and the limitated advantages of rhe converter lenses beyond rhe focal length of the WCL which otherwise isnt available.
A great advantage of interchangeable lenses is the different depths of field and different optical quelities and characteristics. And they arent screw in but quick release. All absent from the converters.
I do have the WCL-x100ii basically because it was free for me. Main reason I grabbed it was that I've shifted from favouring 23 to 18 anyway. I'd actually hoped rhe x100vi would shift to 18mm to take advantage of the 40MP sensor. I wouldnt have paid €240 for it though - thats what my fanatsic 16 2.8 lens cost! But I definitely won't be taking it on and off. I guess there might be people in the same boat with 23 vs 35, but thats what thevl digital TC is for.
I'd say anyone considering the x100vi for the first real camera or first x100 experience and already looking at both converters is comsidering the wrong camera. Better an x-t30 or x-t40 in the summer with some compact lenses.
I'd only recommend the x100 for someone that already enjoys 23mm and is happy with that focal length semi exclusivelt. Or maybe has a second camera in the bag with a tele attached.
I agree for the most part with you. the x100 seems like its geared users who are mostly happy with the 35mm full-frame equivalent. I think they wisely chose to stick to that, because its supposed to feel like a "high-end" point-and-shoot, and they achieved that. "Most" people will be happy enough with the lens. The TCL & WCL, I believe is supposed to be for users like you and me who want more flexibility. But that will be for a minority I think. The more I use the x100vi, the more I enjoy keeping it with the standard lens, without any converters. I feel good though that I have the TCL & WCL if ever the time calls for it.
Yeah but why you have two of them
The blur in the background is always the same, no matter with or without converters. Neither they nor the crop can really replace a real lens of the same focal lens in that respect.
If you look at the sample shots with TCL compared to the standard lens, there's a slight change in bokeh character, I think it's not the same thing that would get if it was a true 50mm f/2, but it's definitely different than the native 35mm f/2 bokeh, kind of a half way solution, I think.
what are their names? cant seem to find anywhere...
fujifilm TCL-X100II Tele Conversion Lens, and fujifilm WCL-X100II Wide Conversion Lens
@@movetomirrorless thanks so much for the reply! great video :)))
@@movetomirrorless and you can just click them onto the existing fixed lens?
@@charvdgaag first you need to screw off the front end of the lens which is just a round piece of aluminum, then that reveals an attachment thread, then you screw on the conversion lens to that.
Why do presenters fail to point this out for less experienced photographers. The crop features as well as the 2 conversion lens only change the FOV, but not the DOF. You only get the DOF of the 23mm lens regardless of the crop or conversion lens used. A great presentation otherwise.
That’s correct. I didn’t point that out clearly, but hopefully it was somewhat obvious in the examples, especially on the side by side comparison.
It would technically change DOF with the conversion lens simply because you'd be standing in a different spot to compose. DOF is affected by distance to the subject.
@@michaelj7069 Assuming you did change positions. Otherwise not.
@@gordonbrown5901Is that not what I just said.
So i can use the lens adapter either with or without the “punch in” correct?
Why is there a problem on the left of your video...
not 100% sure, but I think it's Dehancer pro plug in, I'll have to see why it's doing that.
@@movetomirrorlessOn an iPad, it's both sides of the video.
Maybe a 1% crop in, to see if this solves the issue after rendering?
@@PawFromTheBroonsyeah. I see it now. Good looking out. I’ll make sure to check that on the next video.
Crop and FOV are different things. You lose all the lens fall off and character using a crop.
yes, and no at at the same time. in practice, you end up losing a step in terms of bokeh rendition.
Bro got cell-shaded hair.
Grey card king.
Lol. I’ll take it as a compliment.
most pictures were not in focus.
To fix this, click on view settings, and then select anything higher than 480p.
The amount of salty haters in the comments is hilarious 😂 i almost feel bad for them 🤭
it's the nature of the internet :(
I wish someone would show some originality when putting music to a vlog,everybody uses the same dragged out piano crap
too slow
There are far too many hypes on this camera. Simply it OVERPRICED.
Hype is relative. So is cost. if you can name at least one camera that can give you 40mp sensor, compact f/2 35mm equivalent pancake lens, a hybrid viewfinder, IBIS, internal ND, on-camera flash, and an all metal housing, for cheaper than the X100vi, then I would be more likely to agree with you.
I just got it, this camera is just for people who don't know shit about photo/video, think that the camera does it all for them and the most important thing is IT LOOKS COOL AND VINTAGE. "the camera punches in" - it's called a crop ffs and why the actual fuck would you praise the 40mp sensor if you're gonna crop it to 50%?!? But hey, if that makes these people happy, I'm happy for them.
Not exactly sure what you’re talking about but thanks for watching!!!
Man wts wrong with ur hair
I was born that’s way
For anyone wondering: you can blow up a correctly taken 10 megapixel image well larger than you need. Poster size, and definitely large photo book size. For example a popular 00s DSLR like the Canon 20D was 8 Megapixels and would print large format successfully. 🫡
