I recently bought the Fujifilm Tele Conversion Lens TCL-X100 II and in this video I share my thoughts and opinions on this £300 piece of kit. I also took the 50mm lens for a run of street photography in London so see how it really holds up. This is the 50mm Fuji X100v.

Loved the insights here man 🙌 definitely an accessory to consider

@MikeChudley Год назад

Thanks James and thanks for helping film some of this video, appreciate it.

Really like your critique's of your own photos - what you thinked work and what didn't - I find these very helpful in my own photo taking composition

@its_a_street_thing Год назад

Another great video! I purchased the TCL a while back. Recently I found myself cropping a lot in edit. After watching a recent video by Sean Tucker, I remembered I had it! Since then it has made my life much easier.

@RolandKaufmann Год назад

Great photos, Mike! I love the 50mm lens for street as well. It helps to keep the frame a bit cleaner (and the subject more defined) than the 35. Ps I wish people dressed more stylish where I’m from. Some of those outfits you captured were mint!

Great video, awesome shots. Loved the music selection too. If I ever get a X100V, I'd most definitely get a TCL as well. I was glad to see that it didn't mess with IQ or the aperture.

@MikeChudley Год назад

Thanks! Glad you liked the music - Hoping people liked this over the typical hip-hop background music haha.

@pjbiggleswerth8903 Год назад

The simplicity is why it's an important camera. These days we have 5k into a body and lens. This is under 2 out the door, a lot. Everyone who uses one, loves it. There's a reason. Cuz it's simple.

@geofftonks8960 10 месяцев назад

Use that and the W. I like all configurations very much. I find changing “lenses” easier than on a body and lens change, if you get me. I can carry the camera in the pocket easily and the lenses in another pocket. I’m seriously surprised how much I like this package. Seriously.

@rosvw3517 Год назад

Good cadence, calm voice, no stupid video effects, all make for another great video, Mike. I looked at this camera and really liked it, but chose something else in the end. Thanks for this interesting and informative piece, and a stroll around my old hometown.

I'll add camera settings next time for sure. Thanks for reminding me. Most of those night images were taken between 1600-3200 iso at f2.8/f/2. Hope this helps.

@robinlennon4752 Год назад

I wouldn't pay full price for it but the earlier version that just requires altering 1 menu setting is pretty easy to find used at half the price, that's the buying route I'm going as I think it's a great addition at that price point.

I know that the Fuji also gives you a digital zoom to 50mm equiv. Wonder whether you can use it with the teleconverter and get, what?, 75mm equiv.?

@M4Y0_ Год назад

Thanks for the video! A R6 with 50mm vs X100V+TCL video comparison would be very interesting :) Especially also comparing SOOC jpgs, really curious about color differences and the differences in rendering.

@danielfortune4283 Год назад

Nice video. I noticed you're often moving while taking the shot. Is that intentional? I'm surprised more of your photos aren't blurry. Are you moving while shooting for the purpose of stealth?

@GastonShutters Год назад

I had this lens and I wanted to love it but I couldn’t deal with excessive amount of chromatic aberration and softer image overall. Unfortunately someone stole my X100V and have another one on the way. Lots to love about the X100V

@MikeChudley Год назад

Ahhh that's interesting. I haven't noticed the chromatic aberration to be fair. I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for watching Gaston!

@BenLomonRail Год назад

I had one of these for a brief period earlier this year. While I liked the results, I didn't find that the difference was worth the additional size+weight when attached to the otherwise pretty small X100V. Ended up selling it and grabbing a 50mm f2 for my X-T4 instead.

@RESISTAGE Год назад

same here

@MikeChudley Год назад

The size and weight is a big one. Like mentioned in the video, if it affects your work then it's something to consider. I personally don't mind the changes.

@BenLomonRail Год назад

@@MikeChudley If the X100V was my only camera, it probably wouldn’t have bothered me either. Since I have the X-T4 as an option, I prefer keeping the X100V as close to stock as possible.

@abelardojeda Год назад

Through the years, I learned to be invisible with a 5D (Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3) and a 50mm 1.2 L for street photography (obviously it was too my professional set for portrait photography), so when the first X100 appear on the market, I was surprised by some people comparing it with the Ricoh and complaining about the X100 size. So guess what, even with the TCL converter, it looks small and unobtrusive. BTW, the pictures after you take off the gopro look much better composed… my theory (may not be true), carrying another camera that you know is recording your video, distracts you from full concentration or to get into the zone.

@MikeChudley Год назад

To answer your last part. This definitely has an affect you’re right.

@rydinorwin Год назад

Your opinion please. I’m a budget guy and I have a 5D ii with primes and the 24-105. I’m fed up with the size. Mainly take photos on holiday and the 5D Didn’t even make it into the case last time. Do you think I should just go x100t ?

@abelardojeda Год назад

@@rydinorwin Holiday pictures? Even an Instax or a Polaroid can be used for great holiday captures (plus you get the prints). Before buying a camera I ask myself a few questions: Do I need to print? Do I need larger prints? Do I need the photos only to share in social media? Will people/family who will see my pics can tell the difference between a camera or a cellphone capture? Do I need video? What quality? Does it have to be a Fujifilm? Are there similar products at a competitive cost? What is my budget? There you go, if you have the answers to that, you can choose the right camera.

@diehaz Год назад

This would make the x100v near perfect for wedding photography I think

@wildfernweddings4187 7 месяцев назад

@MC-hr1py Год назад

I had this but inevitably sold it as I wasn't that impressed with it for the way I use it. I didn't get the 50mm compression and bokeh I was expecting tbh. I forked out some money to get the X-E4 and bought the old 35mm 1.4 and that one is just leaps and bounds better in comparison when talking image quality. Even at f2 there seems to be more noticeable background separation than the TCL at the same aperture. The WCL converter will remain in my camera bag however. That's a great lens for me.

@MikeChudley Год назад

Interesting! I've never used the x-e4 so I can't comment. Thanks for watching mate

@@MikeChudley basically an xt3 if I'm correct

@studiodsr Год назад

I have a Fujifilm XT4, a Fujifilm 23 mm f1.4 (35mm equivalent), and a variable ND filter. Should I in theory be able to take the exact same kind of photos as the x100v, or is there something else that makes the x100v’s images unique? I’m talking strictly in terms of image quality. I ask because I don’t want to drop another $2k+ if I don’t have to!

@stevenharper6888 Год назад

I might be wrong, but I was under the impression the X or XT range use the same sensor and should give the same image quality? I picked up the XT30ii with a 18-55 and a 35mm lens for the cost of the 100v. Mainly because I could not find one! . So far no regret’s 👍

Absolutely

@James.cranch Год назад

What bag is it you use? I need a good shoulder bag haha

@derrenleepoole Год назад

Some nice images there mate. You’re a bit too hard on yourself. Some bangers there.

@robertbreining Год назад

Quality content as always, Mike! I can relate to digging the 50. Personally, I went the X-E4 route as I can use all the lenses I already have for the X-Mount, incl. the 35mm f2 (50mm eq.). But I can defo see why people are attracted to the X100V, although seriously overhyped and overpriced atm.

@MikeChudley Год назад

X-E4 sounds like a good option for sure. Agreed about the hype and price. I can't believe it has gained this much popularity. I think the fact you can't buy it makes it more in demand. People want what they can't have haha.

@johnjon1823 Год назад

@colekimmons2345 Год назад

Nice video as always. However I'm surprised that seemingly nobody ever calls you out for taking a close-up shot of them. I think I would feel strange being your subject.

@SilatShooter Год назад

I think the X100V is best in its purist, simplest form. I would personally pass on it. Appears to make the whole package noticeably larger, and no longer small and discreet.

@pierrezapata90 11 месяцев назад

This is true and I agree. But if this is your only camera, and you wanted to get another focal length, it would certainly be cheaper than getting another camera AND an additional lens.

Mike, out of interest , do you ever use your bulky canon anymore? Mine is now only used for wildlife photography after buying Fujifilm

@antonioorellana504 Год назад

probably a better combo. I may get hate but the x100v is very overrated for what it is.

@MikeChudley Год назад

Hey Steven, sounds like a great combo to be fair. Don't fall for the hype of using a specific camera like the X100v. I use my R6 almost everyday for video/photo work. My Fuji is only for documentary/lifestyle/street - because this is what I talk about on RU-vid it might seem like the R6 gets left behind. In fact - I use the canon a lot more haha.
