Fujifilm Lates E Series Wide Angle Lens for E500,E510 & E550 series. is good? Among others review provided by user who bought the Lens
There were no surprises in how the lens worked, but the assembly was not very good. The lens cover is so loose that, unless you hold it on when handling the lens, it will fall of… always gets stuck in the bag.
When I replaced the lens cover with an old filter-case cover, It fit well, but then it pulled the lens keeper ring out of the metal casing and broke the little toy keeper stubs…glue fixd that.
Yeah, the expected chromatic “fringing” happens, but some soft settings and underexposure followed by Adobe fix that.
Fujifilm Convertion Lens WLFXE01 is permitting to make pictures of the architecture from a short distance and was very useful for shooting very high buildings in New York and in small streets of old towns of Europe. Moreover this lens can use indoors with small square.
My husband bought this lens for me to add to my E550 along with the adapter ring and another lens “made for the Fuji E550″. After using it with the adapter a total of 3 times, my camera lens would no longer open. I am very protective over “my” camera equipment, this is not my only camera, I have 5 of them. I wanted my E550 to do more than it was doing but in retrospect, I wish I had just used one of my better cameras. Leave the “add on” lenses for this camera at the store. Buy a better camera instead.
