Fujifilm creates wide-angle adapter and firmware v1.3 for X100 | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it

"Fujifilm has announced the WCL-X100 wide-angle adapter lens for its X100 large sensor, fixed-lens compact. The 0.8x adapter extends the camera's 35mm equivalent field of view out to 28mm equivalent. It is designed to match the X100 in terms of both appearance and quality, sharing the camera's Fujifilm's Super EBC coating and made-in-Japan construction. The WCl-X100 will be available from June at a price of around $350. To enable use of the converter, the company has also issued firmware v1.30 which adds a function for its use as well as fixing two minor operational bugs."

DPreview - Just posted: Our in-depth Fujifilm X100 review | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it
Our in-depth Fujifilm X100 review. The X100 has been an object of fascination and desire amongst photography enthusiasts since it was unveiled at Photokina last September. The camera marries elegant retro looks with an advanced viewfinder and a well-respected sensor. A 35mm equivalent F2 lens completes this modern interpretation of the classic fixed-lens rangefinder concept. However, despite the undeniable attraction of the camera, it won't come as shocking news to hear that it's not an unqualified success. As a result, we've taken a little longer than usual over our review, partly because it's a camera that requires some time to really appreciate it. Mainly though, we wanted to rigorously assess which drawbacks prove to be truely significant after extensive real-life use, and which ones you can be charmed into forgiving.

Fuji sold one hundred thousand X100 cameras!

Fuji sold one hundred thousand X100 cameras! | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it

"Yes, that’s right! Fuji sold one hundred thousand X100 cameras! That’s what they affirm on their latest financial report.
That’s a lot for a camera that has a fixed prime lens “only”, has an “old style” design and hasn’t been pushed by a big advertising campaign a là Canon and Nikon. It means that we have at least 100k real photographers out there…just joking

Chapeau to Fuji for trying to find a new way to think digital camera products. That was really needed after years of Rebel cameras and always same looking Nikon DSLR! "

Crazy Comparison! Leica M9 and 35 Summicron ASPH vs the Fuji X100

Crazy Comparison! Leica M9 and 35 Summicron ASPH vs the Fuji X100 | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it
I have been getting emails for a few weeks now asking me to post some full size images from the Leica M9/35 Summicron vs the Fuji X100…side by side shots, same settings, etc. What some of you want to see is just how the little X100 stacks up against the Leica $10,000 combo in the image quality department. This comparison will ONLY be on image quality as the usability of each camera is WAY different.
