Here are two new sexy accessories for two sexy Fuji cameras 🙂
The Korean company Gariz announced the new X PRO 1 leather case you can right now found them on eBay (Click here). You can have it in three different colors!
And Fuji also announced the WCl-X100 0.8 wide angle converter that will ship in June for $350. It converts the 35mm lens in a 28mm lens.
Nice!

This case seems to be incomplete, why doesn’t it cover the entire camera? Looks like a jacket or camera trousers at most.
What is the function of this item besides camera dress-up? 🙂
> What is the function of this item besides camera dress-up?
It covers in the leather the parts of camera where user holds it with fingers.
Leather is generally more pleasant to hold in hands (esp for prolonged period of time) than the synthetic stuff cameras are generally covered in.
The leather case serves the same function as it did in the old days when it has the upper cover too. You can walk around with it hanging around your neck and don’t have to worry about damage due incidental contact with things.
And in the long run, your camera will look much newer when used regularly. But digital cameras are ephemeral and we really don’t expect to have the same one for 10+ years so I guess getting them scratched over time is less likely.
Yeeeeeaaah! Now we can have a 42mm FOV lens! ????? WTF?
No, that’s 28mm equivalent ( in 35mm film terms ).
The system doesnt have right now a 35mm equivalent lens (but it has a 28mm equivalent in 35mm terms), and the text says : “It converts the 35mm lens in a 28mm lens.”
So you will get a 28mm lens, with the field of view of a 42mm lens (in 35mm terms).
It is about the X100
To Miroslav, Miklós and hexx: Pardon! 🙂
nope, x100 has 23mm lens (35mm eq) and this adapter makes it 19mm lens (28mm eq)
Interesting converter, seems to have 49mm thread at the back, which means it can be used on many mirrorless lenses.
Unfortunately, at 350 USD it’s very expensive.
Dez, the converter is for the x100, not the X-pro 1. The x100 has a 35mm equivalent lens (23mm x 1.5)
This is a terrific move by FujiFilm.
Add a 50mm equivalent and manual exposure and focus control in video mode and I’d get another body for a complete multimedia kit paired with an audio recorder. That would be SWEET!
It’s very smart of Fuji to continue to develop the X100 even though there is now the flagship X Pro-1. The thing about the X100 is it’s form factor and it’s silence of operation.
better to get from gariz direct, cheaper and faster
Leather cases are interesting, but I recommend all who are considering buying a X-pro1 to take a look here first: http://chromasoft.blogspot.de/2012/05/demosaicing-fuji-x-pro1-and-its-x-trans.html
Pathetic.
