WCL-X100
This is a wide lens converter, from 35mm(23mm APS-C) to 28mm (35mm FF equivalent).
Will it be available for the new X100s?

What about macro or close up. Any lens, converter, etc; available?
Thank you.
Both now with x-Trans sensor, phase AF support, x20 also with digital overlay of data in the viewfinder. For the first time since I know Fuji in digital imaging (2003) they seem to be serious in what they do: Development of a real system, marketing.
Unfortunately no new info on additional lenses, like the 56/1,4 and also not on the today rumoured 15mm shift and tilt (!!!). If they really put this on their lens plan, I build an altar for Fuji in my sleeping room. Shooting architechture with a small light camera and a true shift lens will make me sell my DSLR stuff.
I am a bit frustrated that the hybrid AF did not make it into the X-E1 which is relatively young. E-X1 will be my next camera, which means it will be replaces as soon as the successor will come with same split digi- screen/ hybrid AF, and the other new specs.
At least Fuji makes new features way more fascinating than with Canon or Nikon who seem to come out with dozens of tiny variations of one and the same camera.

Good luck to the beta testers.
I'm sure there will be quirks, but since this is a second generation product I think it will be more refined. The improved AF will be a welcomed edition to compliment my xpro 1. Besides I'm not foreign to beta testing, I work in I.T.
UK price apparently expected to be £1100. Is that not taking the piss a little, given that the current x100 sells for half that? Does sticking a new sensor in really reset the price back to the starting point? I'm a little confused.
Ι was told I got the first x100 in australia and one of the first xpro1 's, but I think I'll give it a miss this time.
My x100 is my daytime street camera and my needs are more than covered: tt has OVF, wide lens, does decent 1m prints, fits in my pant pocket and can be zone focused => I'm good.
Leaf shutter for quiet operation, basic EVF for checking framelines in occasional static subjects, f2 and decent ISO1600 for occasional indoor shooting are all bonuses I enjoy but could survive without.
I'll probably go for the implementation of split focus in the system camera though (when it becomes available) and keep collecting fuji lenses in the meantime.
And wasting my time on this thread, because I can
