For owners of Fujifilm X100 and X100S cameras, there’s a new tele-conversion lens to supplement the fixed f/2 lens. The new TCL-X100 attaches directly onto the camera and increases the fixed focal length by approximately 1.4x, converting it from 23mm to a 33mm fixed focal length.

Offering a high optical quality seen in other Fujinon lenses, the TCL-X100 delivers high-resolution images, even at the wide f/2 aperture setting. A coating on the lens helps decrease the amount of ghosting and flare. The TCL-X100 is fully compatible with the hybrid viewfinder of the X100 and X100S cameras and retains the autofocusing speed, while offering a 5.5-inch macro shooting distance. Users can choose their desired field of view level. The only requirement is that the cameras’ firmware need to be upgraded to their latest versions.

The TCL-X100 has been manufactured using the same materials, textures, and finishes as the X100 and X100S. The TCL-X100 will be available in May 2014, for $350.

Both the X100 and X100S were incredibly well received in our reviews, with the X100S earning our Editors’ Choice recognition.

The excellent intermediate Canon EOS R10 camera is $86 off at Walmart today

Canon EOS R10 camera mirrorless with STM lens attached and flash up

I recently grabbed a Canon EOS R50 bundle for a trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research before I made my decision, sifting through the best camera deals, and the two options I essentially narrowed down were the R50 and the EOS R10. The biggest difference between the two is that the R10 gives you more granular control over some of the photoshoot settings. R50, on the other hand, was designed assuming you'll mostly use the automatic shooting modes. That's a great option for novices, while the R10 is better for intermediate to more skilled photographers. Why am I telling you all of this? Because the excellent Canon EOS R10 camera is on sale at Walmart for Black Friday, discounted by $86 to $760 instead of $846. It is one of the better early Black Friday camera deals I've found so far. It comes with an 18-45mm lens. Needless to say, that's a great deal. Comparatively, the R10 with body only -- no lens -- is .

Why shop the Canon EOS R10 camera in Walmart's early Black Friday sale?
