When the X100 was announced the first thing that got me wondering was the inscription on the top deck that says, "FUJINON LENS SYSTEM", and I asked myself, "Why does a camera with a fixed, single focal length lens describe itself as having a 'lens system'?" Then, down the page on this latest link, is the statement, "Something I’m sure a few of you will be curious about is the FoV of the VF. If the central frame is a 23mm FoV, then the whole VF offers a 16mm FoV, which is 24mm-equiv. Interesting choice…" I believe we can expect to market a couple of high quality front-converters which will link to the viewfinder to give correct framelines. Perhaps a multi element macro-adapter as well. Before you dismiss front-converters as crap, most makers of high end P&Ss and bridge cameras have for years been selling dedicated front converters that perform far better than the generic rubbish sold on The Bay. The Olympus Tcon and Wcon front converters are famed and sought after, I expect that Fuji can do just as good a job. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
