I recommend this conversion lens that gave me surprising results! For photographers who love small wildlife and birds \u2013 or in general for those who love close-up photography \u2013 it is a light, easy-to-handle and good quality tool. The proof is in the images I obtained of water birds, passerine birds or small mammals such as this young squirrel that was moving on pine trees of the Bay of Arcachon in France. Of course, a CSC like the X-T1 gives the possibility to see clearly when using a teleconverter such as the XF2xTC, while a DSLR camera would have given a darkened view. I took all these pictures with my X-T1 camera.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jacques_gillon_08.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jacques_gillon_08.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jacques_gillon_15.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jacques_gillon_15.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Very soon we will be leaving and we will travel for a long time.
