One more day and the CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show closes its doors until next year, and all those present at the event had the chance to take a quick look at the latest products announced by the most important players on the digital camera market.

Fujifilm was also present at CP+ 2014, where it showcased the recently announced X-T1 weather-sealed mirrorless camera, X100S Black Limited Edition, a few mockups of the upcoming XF 50-140mm F2.8 R OIS WR, XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR, and XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lenses, as well as a few surprise products.

Among these products we discovered a new tele conversion lens for X100/S compact cameras that convert the fixed lens on your camera to a 35mm equivalent focal length lens of 50mm f/2. While no actual price or availability was revealed for this new teleconverter, FujiRumors found out from a new source that the X100/S Tele Conversion Lens will be launched in late April or early May.

In the meantime, the new Fujifilm X-T1 mirrorless flagship has already started to ship in Japan to the first customers who pre-ordered the camera.
