Does exactly what it is intended for and does this very well. I was a little skeptical due to the size and weight of the conversion lens. But in actual use so far it has proved not to be an issue.
I now carry the camera and both conversion lens (WCL and TCL) in a very compact shoulder bag. The full outfit seems to handle a variety of scenes competently. The time required to install or remove one of these conversion lenses is only slightly longer than changing a lens on an interchangeable lens camera.

I got the X100F for its size, capabilities and its limitation- a fixed wide angle lens. While there's virtue working within constraints I'm grateful for the option to break out just a bit. Having a high quality conversion tele lens is awesome those portraits I didn't want to compromise on.

Excellent image quality. A little big but still good portability.

This is a high quality adapter that works seamlessly with my X100F. It obviously shows up when you use the OVF as folks have noted, but that just comes with the territory and is something your eye ignores at some point. I have not found the focusing significantly slower or less accurate, as others have reported. Quite snappy, really. And, while it clearly makes the camera bigger and more imposing, I actually like the extra real estate -- it makes it much easier to cradle the camera and to diddle the aperture and focus rings, which I do quite a bit.



My only caution is that this lens feels so good on the camera and its 50mm equivalent field of view is so refreshing that I find myself getting sucked away from the wonderful enforced 35 mm experience that I bought the X100F for in the first place! I guess having two different experiences, both of which are terribly seductive, is a good kind of problem to have.

Very good product

I've had a little time to work with the TCL x100ll and am impressed with what it brings to the little f100x. Image quality with it attached is very good, once it's attached the camera knows it is there and responds seamlessly. It doesn't add a huge amount of focal length but enough to shoot fairly tight portraits without the bit of distortion you get with just the basic lens.�

I have mine on quite a bit and haven't had a problem with it coming lose. I have a 67mm Hoya filter on it and I do need to check it periodically. For hiking and the like I usually have the WLC on which I also have.�

On the negative side, it's a big chunk of glass compared to the camera itself. With a 67mm filter on it adds right at 2 inches to the width of the camera and of course the front element is almost 2 3/4 inch across. It will of course make the camera front heavy. As they say, there is no free lunch.

In closing, if you never do portrait work with the camera, I'd think twice about spending the money, however if you want that option then I think the TCL really expands the capability of the camera

It is great

I use this on my X100v. Screw-on adapters used to have a bad reputation, but I think that this is excellent. This is a little hefty, but that is necessary to maintain the f2 brightness of the base lens. A 50mm f2 equiv lens works for portraits, the bokeh is very smooth, and even at f2, the
sharpness is great. This is not a long-lens, but it gets you noticeably closer to your subject versus the native 35mm equiv.

Since I do mostly portraits, this lens stays on the X100f most of the time. Very pleased. I don't want a ICL camera. This works perfectly and the image quality is excellent. Gar
