Fujifilm X100F HACK: How to Convert Old WCL-X100 and TCL-X100 into Version II with Magnets :)

When Fujifilm launched the Fujifilm X100F, they also annouced a new TCL-X100 ver.II and WCL-X100 ver.II.

This second version of the WCL and TCL are optically identical to the first generation. What changes, though, is that inside the WCL and TCL ver.2, there is a little magnet, placed in different positions. These magnets allow the Fujiiflm X100F to automatically recognize if the WCL or TCL is attached, since they are designed to match one of to two magnets placed inside the 23mm lens of the X100F.

That’s handy :)

Now, if you already own the first generation WCL or TCL, you might not have to purchase the second version WCL or TCL, to enjoy this feature.

In fact, FR-reader Haoyuan came up with a “hack”, that makes the old WCL/TCL recognizable by the X100F. You just need 2mm x 1mm magnets, an electrical tape (or a Blu-Tack Adhesive), Plastic Tweezers, Sharpies, and a permanent adhesive (optional). And how exactly does it work? Well, jump over at haoyuanren to find out more :)

I wish you guys a GREAT weekend :)

Another one Hacked it too, using the magnet that comes with the X100F box and a gaffertape. You can’t do it cheaper :)

If you were lucky enough to attend the Photokina 2016 (like me), you will have noticed that the by very far busiest booth was the one of Fujifilm. So it was clear to me, that Fujifilm must have done many things right over the last year, in order to attract all these people.

So it’s not really a surprise, that the latest Fujifilm products are highly awarded. I’ve already reported how:

  • the Fujifilm X-T2 got the Gold Award at DPReview (story here)
  • 14 Fujifilm products won the IF Design awards (story here)
  • the Fujifilm GFX got the DPReview Gold Award (story here)
  • the Fujifilm X100F earned the DPReview Gold Award (story here)

  • the Fujifilm X-T20 got the DPReview silver award (story here)
  • Only the Fujifilm X-System broke the DSLR Hegemony at World Press Photo Awards (story here)
  • at the DPReview Awards 2016, DPReview declared the Fujifilm X-T2 and Nikon D500 “Way in Front of the Rest” (story here)
  • the Fujifilm X-Pro2 Best Professional CSC and XF100-400 Best CSC Zoom Lens won the EISA Awards (story here)

Well, Fujifilm now sets another record. At this years’ TIPA Awards (2017), it is the most awarded camera company out there, with a total of 5 awards for:

As usual, at such competitions, there is an award for basically every brand out there. But it might be still significant, that Fujifilm is the most awarded brand.

Fujifilm X100F (black) In Stock… and Some Reviews!

You might remember, how one month ago, Fujifilm officially said that the Fujifilm X100F received an unprecendented interest, far more than X100/S/T. And indeed, the success is extraordinary, and hence, the camera is hard to find in stock.

Well, at least now, the black Fujifilm X100F is in stock at AmazonUS and BHphoto.

And now some Reivews

  • Backlit compositions are tricky with the new X-Trans III-sensor at fotox (but looking at the thousands of awesome images shared at our 7,000 members strong Fujifilm X100F facebook group, this does not really seem something to worry about in real life shooting. So many happy X100F shooters over there, that are completely in love with their camera :) )

Gary Tyson – shared at the GFX group here: “Picked up the Cambo Actus GFX yesterday will do some testing. Just sharing a quick look at how far up/down/left right can move before vignetting kicks in. Using a hasselblad 40mm CFE lens on it. Seems to be an outstanding bit of kit” – NOTE: I could not embed the video here on FR, so only GFX members can see it.
