Fuji x100F w/ TCL-x100 Teleconverter

As I prepare to post my review, I thought I would share a couple photos. I love how my original TCL-x100 Teleconverter looks on my new x100F. I had originally purchased it with my black x100S, but I think I actually like this look better. I’ve now owned every x100 and the love affair just keeps growing with this camera.

Streets of Tokyo with the Fuji x100F

This past July  my daughter and I decided on a whim to take a trip to Tokyo for a few days. She was out of school for the summer and it was perfect for some quality father daughter time. It’s been two years since our last trip. Scary how fast time goes by. On my last trip to Tokyo I had just bought the x100T and was testing it out.

Photo of the Day - Waiting for a customer.

Hey everyone. Hope your all doing well today. I took this photo last year while testing my x100T that I had just upgraded to. The photo is part of a blog post I did on shop keepers in Naha. Click here to view that story. I love how he's surrounded with so much merchandise and yet everything looks in place.

Naha, Okinawa with the Fuji TCLX100

I love walking around in Naha. It's the closest thing we have here in Okinawa to the city. Many years ago I lived in mainland Japan, where I spent a good bit of time in Tokyo, and sometimes I find myself missing the city. Last year I purchased the new TCLX100 teleconverter for my Fuji x100s. I also did a review on it found here. Every once and a while I like to take one lens, and shoot all day at that focal length. It's a challenging and fun exercise that can allow you to see scenes differently than you normally do. So a few weeks ago I decided to head down to Naha, and shoot for a few hours with my TCLX100 attached.

We should all take time to stop and enjoy moments like these. All too often we take for granted the beauty around us. They say "the best things in life are free". Scenes such as this must surely be one of them.

Oh the joy and convenience of being a kid. I love how they have turned their backpacks into their own personal portable recliner while they wait for the crossing lights to change at the intersection. I wonder if they make adult versions of these? :)
