FAQS
Will this work with the fujifilm 55-200?
Straight from Fujifilm Global your answer is as follows;
Compatible lens XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR 70mm-196mm (107mm-299mm in 35mm format equivalent) F4 XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR 140mm-560mm (213mm-853mm in 35mm format equivalent) F6.3-8. So armed with this information the answer would be no
The Fuji 1.4TC is an excellent piece of gear. It should work fine with the Fuji 100-400.
Yes you may have to update your firmware for camera and lens. Check your owners manual, it is to complicated to answer here
The new 70-300 Fuji zoom lens will accept both 1.5 and 2.0 teleconverters! Although I personally do not own the 70-300 lens!
Somewhere that it works only with the 50-140 and 100-400. My impression is that a good sharp image is maintained with the 50-140 but using the teleconverter with the 100-400 seems to cause some loss of sharpness which can be seen when photographing birds. However, still get some sharp photos in that situation
Weather resistant” and it has a rubber O-ring on the side that will connect to the camera. The lens side weather sealing will depend on the lens. The 100-400mm lens does have a rubber O-ring on its mount, so the combination should be relatively water sealed. I don’t have the 50-140mm, but I imagine it is the same.
The 140mm would equivalent to 140 x 1.4 (from the converter) x 1.5 (crop factor of the APSC to 35mm sensor size) = 294mm or almost 300mm full frame equivalent. Yes that’s about the beginning of the long end..
The Fujifilm XF 2x TC WR Teleconverter works great with the FUJIFILM XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens.
Fujinon is a brand of optical lenses made by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd, now known as Fujifilm. Fujifilm’s Fujinon lenses have been used by professional photographers and broadcast stations as well as cinematography.
The “FUJINON TELECONVERTER XF2X TC WR” is a high-performance teleconverter capable of multiplying the focal length of mounted lenses*1 by two. It features excellent optical design with a construction of 9 elements in 5 groups to maintain the optical performance of the original lens.
The main difference between the two are that XF lenses are made of metal with a metal lens mount whereas an XC lens is mostly plastic construction. Being made of plastic does mean that the lenses are lighter however they are not quite as robust as the metal construction of the XF lenses
A 2x teleconverter (such as the Nikon TC-20EII AF-S teleconverter) will double the apparent focal length at the expense of two stops of light. For example, when used on the AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AF-S VR lens the Nikon TC-20EII will give the same angle of view as a 600mm f/5.6 lens
Fuji’s 50-140mm f2. 8 lens is one such Red Badge zoom
R stands for aperture ring, LM for linear motor, OIS for optical image stabilizer, PZ for power zoom, and WR for Weather Resistant
XF. The XF class of X-Mount lenses are the highest quality X-Mount lenses currently available. XF lenses feature fast apertures and high quality ED, and ASP elements. XF lenses also often feature rugged metal barrels often with weather resistant construction.
