X100V with WCL-X100 II
I really like the wide adapter. Nice that it doesn't smear the edges. I like that it doesn't slow the AF or the aperture down. I ordered the TCL-X100 II, knowing that it might not be as nice as the wide, but we'll see.

As much as I wanted to keep my X100VI's setup simple, I just couldn't resist TCL-X100 II so I had to try it out. I was able to find one reasonably priced. In simple words, I love it. I only use it occasionally for portraits but, so far, I have loved the results. What's even cooler is that, once you combine it with digital teleconverter, it will give you 100mm equivalent FOV at the extreme end. 10MP will still be decent enough for 8x10s.

I had a couple days to play with mine on my x100V. I really dig mine too, like you, I will use it sparingly but it's nice to have it if i want something different. I get the "VI" on Wednesday. Looking forward to shooting it on the 40MP sensor.
Pretty convenient for a weekend trip to have the 28/35/50mm FOV's, not even counting the digital tc.

I feel like the digital TC is good enough on the VI where you don't need the adapter if you want to shoot at 50, but just my 2 cents.
I am very interested in the wide, though!
It is good enough for posting online but I want the full MP for printing plus the out-of-focus background is a bit better with the conversion lens.

The wide is a really nice addition. But when you use crop mode in camera for the 50mm FOV you don't get the added bokeh.
x100vi
About a mile up one of the tougher hikes in Western Washington. There's about .1 mile of flat which is where this was taken. (Cable Line Trail, Tiger Mountain)
My first outing with my X100VI since it came back actually fixed from service. I played a little with intentionally blurred longer exposures and natural motion blur and the IBIS using the built in ND.
Got my X100VI probably a month or two ago and just tried it for the first time during the aurora this weekend. Used it on BTS duty behind the Nikon Z9s.
Evidently DXO doesn't have support for the VI yet, so these are just edited JPEGs (gross)
The only reason I got the VI was for the IBIS for handheld slow shutter, but these were all on a tripod.
