Viltrox Expands Fujifilm X100 Series with New Conversion Lenses

If you’ve ever picked up a Fujifilm X100 series camera, you know it’s a compact powerhouse for storytelling. Now, Viltrox has introduced two new conversion lenses designed specifically for the X100 series, offering photographers more creative flexibility without compromising the camera’s iconic design. 

The WCL-X100VI wide-angle lens and TCL-X100VI telephoto lens allow you to explore new perspectives and capture scenes with more intention, all while keeping the camera’s retro aesthetic intact.

Seamless Integration with the X100 System

Both conversion lenses attach directly to the X100 series filter ring, fitting snugly on cameras from the X100VI down to the original X100. The metal construction is solid yet lightweight, complementing the camera’s color, finish, and proportions. Unlike adapters that feel like afterthoughts, these lenses integrate cleanly, preserving the X100’s elegant silhouette.

The magnetic detection system in each lens ensures that the camera recognizes the lens automatically. This triggers the appropriate lens profile, correcting distortion, optimizing autofocus behavior, applying proper framing lines, and recording accurate EXIF data. For photographers, this means you simply attach the lens and start shooting without navigating menus or settings.

WCL-X100VI: Discover More in Every Frame

The WCL-X100VI is a wide-angle conversion lens that expands the X100’s field of view to an effective 28mm. This makes it ideal for street photography, travel scenes, architecture, interiors, and environmental storytelling. You can capture more of the scene in a single frame while maintaining Fujifilm’s signature rendering and edge-to-edge clarity.

The wider perspective allows you to include contextual elements in your shots, making storytelling more immersive. By giving you room to frame multiple subjects or expansive backgrounds, the WCL-X100VI encourages creative compositions that bring scenes to life.

TCL-X100VI: Bring the Story Closer

The TCL-X100VI shifts the X100’s perspective to a 50mm equivalent, approximating the natural field of view of the human eye. This lens is ideal for portraits, lifestyle imagery, travel moments, or any scenario where you want a more intimate, focused composition.

With its slightly tighter framing, the TCL-X100VI allows you to emphasize details and control background elements without cropping in post-production. Skin tones remain natural, and the lens preserves clarity, letting you capture expressions, textures, and nuanced moments with precision.

Optics and Everyday Usability

Both lenses feature multi-layer coatings to reduce flare and maintain image quality, ensuring the X100’s well-known color output is preserved. They are also equipped with protective coatings to resist dust, water droplets, and fingerprints, making them suitable for street photography, travel, or unpredictable shooting conditions.

The slim, lightweight design of the WCL and TCL makes them portable companions. They slip into small bags or jacket pockets, so you can carry them comfortably on day trips, urban explorations, or spontaneous shoots. You don’t have to compromise mobility to gain more creative control.

For Fujifilm X100 series photographers, these conversion lenses are tools that extend the camera’s capabilities while maintaining the elegance and simplicity that make the X100 so beloved. 

By adding WCL-X100VI or TCL-X100VI to your kit, you gain new perspectives and more control over how you capture and share your world.
