Any views/opinions on conversion lenses for the X100 series?
Fujifilm WCL-X100 II and TCL-X100 II
Viltrox Conversion Lens for Fujifilm X100
TCL-X100VI extends the X100 to a precise 33mm view.
WCL-X100VI broadens the X100 to a clean 19mm perspective.

I'm trying to create a small/light kit for an upcoming trip to Japan for my X100VI.
The 2 Fujifilm conversions lenses together are over $600 while the 2 others are less than $300.
I used Fuji TCL more than WCL, portraits and landscapes.. WCL is comparable to Fuji 18mm f2 lens in reviews.. TCL also keeps the circular bokeh to the corners but makes the camera bigger.. You can get used ones to get it cheaper or earlier versions that require manual entry for corrections.
I use Freewell TCL/WCL on Sony RX1R III, so it is more adaptable if you are considering to use with other cameras/primes with 49mm filter size. WCL increases fringing in the corners, but it covers the RX1R III. It needs to stopped down for sharpness. TCL is good for portraits, sharp wide open. The circle behind the lens causes vignette for the landscapes for FF, but it should be fine on X100,,,
Neewer TCL is cheapest, similar to Freewell TCL, but only comes in silver...
