Here’s a great collection of images showing what the new TCL can accomplish on the X100s all images captured by Rico Pfirstinger. I must say I’m quite impressed with this image (SOOC Velvia). So now with the new TCL, the X100/S turns into a mini kit of it own along with the WCL making a pretty well rounded kit with a 28mm, 35mm, and now 50mm all at f2 and sharp as hell at f4 which is usually where I have my X100s. Fuji, if you’ve gone this far already then all we need is the “XCL” with an effective focal length of 75mm.

Hiya!
I will probably buy the 50mm(e) teleconverter for portrait use, but like you, yes, I’d love a 75mm(e). Going by the size of the TCL-X100 though, it would probably be beastly large.
Peace, & all that.
Yeah, it looks huge and I think it makes a lot sense in an X100/s kit. Of course it doesn’t lend itself to being quickly changed and what not but compromises must be made at all stages of development. Imagine if they gave us an 85mm F2 adapter, now that would be amazing. I’m still crossing my fingers.
