Do we still need conversion lenses? (feat. the Fuji X100VI + Viltrox Lenses)

Are conversion lenses still worth it on the Fujifilm X100VI, or is the 40MP sensor and digital zoom enough? In this video, I compare the Viltrox Wide (28mm) and Tele (50mm) conversion lenses and break down how where they fit into a compact camera workflow.

We'll talk:

- Optical conversion vs digital zoom
- Depth of field
- Weight and cost comparison vs Fuji’s official lenses
- Which lens actually makes sense in real-world use

If you shoot the Fujifilm X100VI and are deciding between cropping or adding glass, this should help.

Note: I forgot to mention in the video that Viltrox sent me the conversion lenses to review. That said, the video isn't sponsored by Viltrox, they didn't ask to see the video in advance, and all the opinions are 100% my own.
