The CP+ show in Japan is in full swing and we’ve already got a couple of new camera lens add-ons for the ever-popular Fujifilm X100s. First up, a teleconverter that transforms the normally 35mm equivalent, 23mm f2 fixed lens into a 50mm piece of glass. The new attachment screws into the 62mm filter thread on the front of the prime lens and essentially acts as a focal length magnifier.

Details on the lens convertor are still sparse, but as DPReview reports it will come for a price of $300. The new lens attachment adds even more versatility to the fixed lens X100s and its older sibling, the Fujifilm X100. Previously, Fujifilm released a WCL-X100 wide-angle convertor, which transforms the 35mm equivalent lens into a wider 28mm. For a little less cheddar, Photojojo also has a vast array of lens convertors including a 2x convertor for $50.

Fujifilm also brought another little oddity for its X-mount series of cameras. Check it out after the break!

Along with the conversion lens, DC Watch also spotted a X-mount body cap with an actual built-in lens. The slim piece of glass is specced to be a 24mm (35mm equivalent) f8 lens weighing as little as 32g.

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.

Opinion: The Fujifilm XT3’s Sensor Still Doesn’t Output Images That Look Totally Like Film (But They’re Nice)

The Fujifilm XT3 (or as they call it, the Fujifilm X-T3) is the company’s latest evolution to their SLR style camera body designed to be a workhorse for many photographers. Despite a whole lot of great and absolutely fantastic things built into the camera, I personally am wondering what Fujifilm’s goal is here with the idea of the X Trans sensor and Film Simulations. One of the reasons why I was so smitten with the X Pro 1 was the fact that it delivered images that really looked like well shot and developed film. To some extent, the Fujifilm XT2 did too but only really with Acros. With the latest iteration, the Fujifilm X-T3, the company is delivering a new 26.2MP X Trans Sensor that delivers the most beautiful colors of any APS-C sensor that we’ve seen. But at the same time, the film simulations just don’t feel right.
