Fuji X100 Wide Conversion Lens.

Recently, Fuji released a Wide Conversion Lens WCL-X100, which can turn your 35mm lens to 28mm wide. It is very useful when you carry your X100 to travel around, and wide angle is really handy for taking landscape photos.

It comes with two color, silver and black to match your X100 body. Check out the official site: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/accessories/lens/conversionlens/x100wideconversionlens/

Also, remember to update the latest firmware, so you can turn on the wide conversion lens option in the camera settings.

Let's check out some samples here:

My Favourite Street Photography setting with X100

I love street photography, and X100 is small and elegant enough to do the job right.

The settings I used most are :
1) Film Simulation : BW
2) Film Simulation : Velvia
but most importantly, I set the SHADOW to hard, so I can have a little bit high contrast photo, because I am lazy to do any PS after. So here are some photos taken with the settings mentioned above.

With little PS (contrast adjustment), turns out the result is quite satisfy.
