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.
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.

Another year, another new cable, but this one may ultimately help with the cable mess rather than adding to it. Visually similar to Apple's Lightning cable we use with out current generation iPhones and iPads, but similar in function to Thunderbolt, the new USB-C does double duty handling not only USB, but video, enough for 4k, and power as well.
