FR-Chris spotted Fuji’s upcoming TCL-X100 Telephoto Conversion Lens for the X100/S listed at BHphoto here. The price is still unknown.
I remind you that a new source told us that the release date should be April/May. Another source said more generally “before summer“.
With the WCL-X100 and TCL-X100, X100/s owner will have a three-lens mini system (28mm, 35mm and 50mm) with leaf shutter, fast aperture and terrific IQ.

It’s been listed there for some time… since they had the recent convention.
Fujirumor = advertising site like coca cola
This is how I knew about it.
so? this does not justify the consumerist nature of the site, fuji in the light… business in shadows 😉
for me this is just a confirmation that the rumor I’ve spread here in the past seems to be correct, as the TCL is now listed at BH. I presume an announcement is near (April?)… which is good to know, because it makes the new source who told me about it more reliable ;-)… who knows what the source can tell me in future
business in the shadows? I’ve said it several times in different blog post… it’s more under the sun than in the shadows. I’ve copied and paste this one:
“If you use one of the shoplinks on FR to purchase your gear you’ll at the same time support FR, as a small commission is valued back to this blog with no extra costs for you.”
Patrick you do a very good job here, i log on daily, its part of the routine now and the world of fuji shooters would be far worse off without this site. So if you make some money on the way, well im glad for you, in fact you should ask for donations, im sure many would pay a couple quid here and there. Anyway rock on dude.
a thing is 1 rumor + 2 advertisings another thing is 0.5 rumors + 200 advertisings , lately become a mess
I think I’ve shared more rumors in 2 and a half months of 2014 (almost 100% correct rumors) than in the whole year 2013. But if Fuji doesn’t launch new cameras now (and in the next time), I can’t really spread rumors. Or I should do it like I’ve seen on other sites… invent some.
The truth is that in March Fuji launched some great deals, an no cameras/lenses. But there will be times where Fuji will launch camera/lenses and no deals… and you’ll read plenty of rumors, and less deals.
However, if rumors is what you want to read, then there is a rumor section at the top of the site. Click on it, and you won’t read reviews, news or deals… just rumors 😉
Patrick,
I own a Sony Nex6 now and a Nex 5r before that, but have been fascinated by fuji for some time now.
I’ve been coming to this site to pick up rumors, links to tests and pricing. It’s a great site for fuji purchase research. I’m planning on buying a fuji XT-1 and I will link to thru this site. Thanks for helping me and I’ll continue to stop by on a daily basis.
Don’t feed the trolls…
thanks for your kind words and your support…. and I should listen to you: never feed the trolls ;-).
I asked once for donations, there is the donate button on FR button, but I moved it to the bottom of the sidebar because (almost) nobody uses it (I think 15 or 20 people used it in more than 2 years now)… can’t really pay the bills with it 😉
but that’s fine, everyone can support this blog how he likes: sharing pics, sharing rumors, donating, using the shoplinks or simply reading it.
Seriously, if you’re going to buy an X100s for $1300 because it has one lens, why add a lower quality add-on to change the focal length. Why not just buy an X-Pro1 or X-E2 to begin with, spend less for it, and have the capability of interchangeable lenses?
It’s smaller, lighter, has a built in ND, all the discretion and off-camera strobe sync benefits of a leaf-shutter, arguably much more attractive styling.
The sun-quenching ND/leafshutter combo alone is worth the price of admission for environmental portrait work. If this thing can allow for a tighter fov while maintaining resolution, I’m all for it.
Lot’s of people already have x100. For them it’s a cheap upgrade. I also doubt it’s going to be low quality.
Why would you list a product and not know when it was available do not know the cost and have no image. Dum da da Dum.
Why wouldn’t you it’s a product that’s going to be released in the future. That’s all that matters.
Other info will be released when he knows.
Dumass.
and you can’t even buy or pre-order it.
because it is a crap site
thx, really appreciate that you stop by my blog even though you don’t like the content… and even take your time to comment.
Dumb post of the day award.
Perhaps because the name of this site has the word “rumors” in it?
I enjoy this site, visit daily, addicted 🙂
Would be nice if Fuji put the wide and tele versions in a kit at a special price!
Tele-converter etc – seems like that is going against the principle of the X100s – a fixed lens camera –
Before I started asking for a tel-converter I would ask for a In Body Stabilization or IS in the lens –
I get much sharper shots on my Fuji X20 on the average than my X100s as the X20 has IS in the lens – ( ok in good light at 200th and higher things clear up – but I am not always in that good light )
So for those who need wide and tele-conversion then the X-E2 and X-T2 are fantastic and many nice lenses to choose from –
