Kevin Mullins’ X100S book available for pre-order (get 25% discount)

Kevin Mullins is writing a book about the Fujifilm X100S, which will be available in July. The book is called “From Snapshots to Great Shots” and can now be pre-ordered at AmazonUS here.

“While the camera manual explains what the camera can do, it doesn’t show exactly how to use the camera to create great images! That’s where Fujifilm X100S: From Snapshots to Great Shots comes in. Starting with the top ten things users need to know about the camera, author Kevin Mullins carefully guides readers through the operating features. Readers get practical advice from a pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, and end of chapter assignments. “

You can take a look also at Alexander S. White book “Photographer’s Guide to the Fujifilm X100S” at AmazonUS here.

But the X100S is matter of the study also in Tony Phillips’ book “Guide to Fujifilm’s X100s Camera“, listed here at AmazonUS and at his personal website.

In the Japanese press-release (translation) of the TCL-X100 we can find some more information about the TCL-X100 teleconversion lens for the Fujifilm X100/S (thanks Antoine B.).

  • “The latest firmware can be downloaded from the website of Fujifilm. (Will be released April 22, 2014)“. In the English version of the press-release Fuji wrote: “Achieving the very best results from the TCL-X100 is simple; just select the ‘Tele- Conversion Lens’ option in the FUJIFILM X100/X100S’s shooting menu. To enable this extra functionality, the camera must update the firmware(X100:ver2.10 or later /X100S:ver1.20 or later) which also allows the option to be selected via the function (Fn) button.”
  • ” it is possible to “Fujifilm tele conversion lens TCL-X100” (hereinafter referred to as “TCL-X100”) will be released on April 25, 2014“

So outside Japan the lens will be available in May. Another confirmation of rumors posted previously here on Fujirumors comes from dpreview. They say that the price of the TCL-X100 will be of $350.

Another FR-reader spotted the Australien price of the TCL-X100 at discountcameras: 300 AUD!
