Just a flash: a patent spotted by mirrorlessrumors at freepatentsonline here shows a new zoom lens, 18-250mm f/3.5-6.5. Would you be interested to add such a lens to your X-system?

It’s been a while, as I have been busy wrapping up my new eBook The Fujifilm X-E2 – Beyond the Manual. The German version of the manuscript will enter conversion later this week, and I am currently working on the English version.
When a member of the German Fuji X Forum inquired about workshops covering Fujifilm X-series cameras, one user suggested me to offer one, though I honestly didn’t expect much interest, given how small the Fuji universe still is. Turns out I was wrong: The first three Fuji X Secrets workshops each sold-out within just a few hours.
We kick-off the series with a Beginners Workshop on 31MAY, followed by two “standard” workshops in Nuremberg on 7JUN and 14JUN, then two more in Heidelberg on 28/29JUN. Here’s a list for those of you who might be interested and are based in Germany or nearby countries (even though we have participants that come from as far as Australia). There’s a fair chance that we’ll tour other cities (such as Berlin) after summer break. As I am going to spend a few weeks in Santa Barbara, CA in late November and December, I’d like to offer one or two workshops there, as well. Stay tuned.
When Fuji displayed a telephoto conversion lens for their X100 and X100S cameras at CP+, it was a dream come true for many X-Philes who had kept asking for such an option since this camera’s inception. Adding 19mm (wide-angle conversion lens WCL-X100) and 33mm (telephoto conversion lens TCL-X100) options to the fixed 23mm lens of the X100(S) turns the camera into a three lens mini system with silent leaf shutter operation and fast flash synchronization speeds.

The Fujifilm TCL-X100 is ready to hit the market. X100/S owners can now update their camera and add support for the Tele Conversion Lens
X100S firmware 1.20 / X100 firmware 2.10
Rico’s first look at the Fujifilm TCL-X100 will be online later this day… so stay tuned!
TCL-X100 listed at BHphoto. It should cost around $350

Top rated Plus ebayUS reseller kenmorecamera has the [shoplink 23746 ebay]XF 56mm in stock here[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 23747 ebay]XF 10-24 in stock here[/shoplink]. These lenses are still out of stock at the other major online retailers.
Another X-gear that is pretty hard to find at the moment: the X-T1. I could find the body available at [shoplink 23748 ebay]ebayUS here[/shoplink] (new and for normal price). It’s in stock also at Adorama.
The only X-T1 with the 18-55 kit lens I could find is now on auction at [shoplink 23749 ebay]ebayUS here[/shoplink] (now at $1,125.00). The auction runs for a few more hours. LIGHT LEAK: You should be aware that the serial number of this X-T1 is 41A02XXX. Fuji said that in the U.S. serial numbers 41A05201 or higher are safe and anything under that is possibly affected.
