Description — Fujifilm WCL-X100 II
The Fujifilm WCL-X100 II Wide Conversion Lens attaches to compatible Fujifilm X mount cameras to provide a 28mm prime wide-angle perspective at a maximum aperture of f/2. Designed for the APS-C format mirrorless camera system, this conversion lens is built specifically for the Fujifilm X100 series, giving photographers a noticeably wider angle of view than the camera's standard optic. Autofocus is fully supported, so the camera's native AF system continues to operate normally with the WCL-X100 II in place.
The lens features a 49mm filter thread for attaching compatible filters, and weighs 180g — a reasonable addition to the compact X100 body. Image stabilization is not present in the conversion lens itself. For photographers who frequently shoot landscapes, architecture, or environmental subjects and want more breadth in their framing, the WCL-X100 II offers a dedicated, mount-matched solution that maintains the camera's autofocus capability while extending its wide-angle reach.
