Description — Fujifilm WCL-X100
The Fujifilm WCL-X100 Wide-Angle Conversion Lens attaches to Fujifilm X mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 28mm prime focal length for a wider angle of view. Built for APS-C format sensors and the Fujifilm X mirrorless system, it integrates cleanly into the X100 series ecosystem without requiring a separate dedicated body. With a maximum aperture of f/2, the lens retains capable light performance after conversion, suitable for a range of lighting conditions.
Autofocus and manual focus are both supported, offering practical versatility in the field. The 49mm filter thread enables compatible filter accessories, while the compact 150g weight ensures the kit stays easy to carry. It is worth noting that image stabilization is not included, so photographers in low-light scenarios should account for this when shooting handheld.
