If Fuji ever makes an X100 with a 50mm-equivalent lens (probably a 35mm f/2), they'll sell a boatload. Quite a few of them will sit on a shelf, though, compared with the 35mm-equivalent X100s of today. You can always crop in, but you can't crop out.

If Fuji did make a 50mm X100, though, I'd be on the list. Ricoh made a great choice by bringing the GR IIIx to market. If I ever jump on the GR train, it'll likely be with that 40mm-equivalent model. Less versatile, but the images that do hit will resonate with me more.



FUJIFILM TCL-X100 II Tele Conversion Lens - they dont sell a boat load of them.

My old X100 field-of-view is spectacular just the way the designer intended it to be.

I have the TCL -- it does work well, but it is so large that it feels very un-X100-like. When I travel with the X100, the TCL comes along, but as a "sometimes" lens, rather than the default.

If Fuji were to come to market with a leaf-shuttered 35mm f/2 comparable in size to the X100's 23mm, I continue to maintain that there'd be a bunch of high-end buyers. It'd be the only 50mm-equivalent instrument of its kind on the market.

Why would they? 35mm is much more versatile and better for family, travel, and street photography, which is what those cameras are used for.


I've spent some time with a full frame Canon SLR with a few different fixed focal length lenses. (35,50,&85mm). My favorite lens is the Zeiss Distagon 35mm/1.4 even though it doesn't have autofocus. That being said, I have moved to the Fujifilm x100v and I'm happy with the results.


They’re already having trouble cranking out enough X100V models
