Thread: a new focal length for my X100

Very interested in this and the wide as well. The more I shoot with the x100 the more I appreciate it. But there are times I want longer, and then, I cart the XZ or the K-5 along. Would be good just to have the X and a couple of adapters.

Nice! I risk ignoring the X-Pro1 if I find one of these myself.....

Awesome collection old Impulse records. I have most of those on CD now. I used to have the vinyl years ago when I had a turntable. The Sonny Rollins Alfie is one of my all time favorite recordings.

One of my faves is Roy Haynes "Out of the Afternoon".....cool photo on the cover too of the quartet just "hanging out" in the woods.

That's a great one with Roland Kirk!!!!

OK, I set the ISO at 3200 with auto ISO off, set the aperture to f5.6 and the shutter speed to 1/30 and shot in a room with blinds shut and just a dim overhead bulb on so the lighting should be the same. Here's the with and without converter. I'm not usually a tester guy and haven't thrown them into Lightroom, but just eyeballing it, it looks like light loss is pretty neglible.

By the way if my methodology is bad on this kind of test, someone please tell me how I should do it. I'm not one for the labs.

I obtained a couple of olympus converter wide angle lens and must say one of them works well with the x100. got 2 of them for £10 each. IS/L converters
