Instant cameras, X-mount bodies and the X100 converter
Where it turns up
Instant cameras, mirrorless bodies, teleconverters, from 72 € to 899 €.
A converter that lists cameras
The TCL-X100 II names four bodies — X100, X100S, X100T and X100F — rather than four lenses, because the camera it belongs to has a fixed lens. That makes compatibility a single yes or no, which is the opposite of every other converter on that shelf.
The arithmetic it publishes
A factor of 1.4, stated as reaching 50 mm in full-frame equivalent. Since 1.4 applied to 35 gives 49, the figure also tells you what lens is underneath — publishing the result rather than the factor is the more useful habit.
Instant film, and why the shelf exists
A photograph that cannot be deleted, edited or reshot, handed to somebody within a minute. The specifications that matter there are the film format, the cost per frame and whether the camera can do anything other than point and shoot.
instax mini film · credit-card print format stated · automatic exposure and flash · close-up mode with parallax correction · selfie mirror · up to 100 prints per set of batteries · no digital printing path · print size in millimetres not published
An instant camera that removes every setting on purpose: exposure and flash are automatic, a mirror handles framing for selfies, and the only figure published anywhere is one hundred prints per set of batteries.
Best for: Parties, trips and gifts, where handing someone a physical print immediately is the whole point and nothing needs adjusting.
26.1 MP X-Trans · X-Processor 5 · 355 g body stated · kit XC15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ · 6.2K video · 9:16 mode · 20 film simulations · flip screen, no viewfinder named · sensor format, mount name and card slots not published
A 355 g body sold on its twenty film simulations and a 6.2K video figure, with a flip screen in place of any viewfinder and a kit zoom whose stabilisation is named only by the letters OIS.
Best for: Someone buying into film simulations and short vertical video, who composes on a screen and counts every gram.
Two hundred and thirty-nine euros for a 1.4× converter that takes the X100 series to a 50 mm equivalent — five short bullets, four named cameras, and no element count.
Magnification
1.4×, in the first bullet, given as extending the focal length to 50 mm in full-frame equivalent. The arithmetic is visible: 1.4 times a 35 mm equivalent is 49, and the page rounds it to 50 — which also tells the reader what lens is underneath
Lenses named as compatible
FOUR CAMERAS, not lenses: the X100, X100S, X100T and X100F, in the second bullet. It is the only page on this shelf whose compatibility list is made of bodies, and that makes it the easiest to check and the narrowest to satisfy
Light loss in stops
NOT PUBLISHED. The intro above gives one stop as the price of a 1.4× sitting between a lens and a body; this converter is sold for four cameras whose lens does not come off, and the page states no figure at all. Nothing here confirms or denies a loss
Autofocus limits stated
None. No aperture, no focus claim, no caveat — in five bullets, two of which are "silver" and a contents list
Added length
Not published
Sealing
Not claimed. The 323 € OM SYSTEM, the 349 € Sigma and the 479 € Canon here all claim dust and splash protection
Published weight
Not published, as on all six converters here

Four compatible cameras named outright, in a market where lists are usually absent
The result is published as a focal length — 50 mm equivalent — not only as a factor
Five bullets, of which one is the word "silver" and one a two-line contents list
Best for: An X100, X100S, X100T or X100F used for portraits, where 35 mm is too wide and a second camera is not the answer.
Each amount in a write-up is what the listing showed when that page was written. The figure next to the product is pulled in as you read, and it is the one that counts.
