The Fujifilm X100VI is exclusively available with a fixed 35 mm lens (full-frame equivalent). Viltrox recently introduced two relatively affordable converters that enable users to achieve either a 28 mm or 50 mm focal length on the X100VI as well as several earlier models.

The Fujifilm X100VI (approx. $2,000 on Amazon) pairs a 40 MP APS-C sensor with a 23 mm f/2 lens, delivering a full-frame equivalent focal length of 35 mm. To enable shooting at other focal lengths, Fujifilm offers the WCL-X100 II and TCL-X100 II converters, each priced at around $400.

Viltrox has now unveiled two alternatives to these converters: the wide-angle WCL-X100VI and the telephoto TCL-X100VI. Besides being significantly more affordable, they are designed to better complement the X100VI’s aesthetics. The wide conversion lens widens the compact camera's view to a 28 mm full-frame equivalent, whilst the tele conversion lens provides a 50 mm focal length. According to Viltrox, these converters don’t compromise sharpness and light sensitivity.

Housed in a metal body, the wide-angle converter weighs just 130 g (4.6 oz), whereas the tele converter is heavier at 230 g (8.1 oz). Each conversion lens features five elements in four groups and includes a filter thread – 49 mm on the wide and 67 mm on the tele – for mounting standard ND or polarising filters.

Price and availability

The new Viltrox converters for the Fujifilm X100VI are available now from the company’s official online shop. The WCL-X100VI is priced at $159 / €170, and the TCL-X100VI retails for $189 / €208. Both models are compatible with the Fujifilm X100VI, X100V, X100F, X100S and the original X100.
