Review on πŸ“· Fujifilm WCL-X100 Black Wide Angle Conversion Lens by Ethan Delaney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Another prime lens is best

Great lens! looks and work. This has been covered here before, but there is one thing I should add. Make sure you enable wide-angle mode in settings. This encodes EXIF so that the image can be identified as having been taken with a 19mm lens. Otherwise the wrong lens correction profile will be applied (for a standard 23mm lens). In most modern digital camera lenses, distortion, chromatic aberration, and vignetting are corrected in software. If you activate the wide-angle option, you can do the correction automatically. It is important. If you shoot in JPEG or RAW format, processed with the included SilkyPix RAW converter, you don't have to do anything because this correction is done automatically. If you are using Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw, you need to set the lens correction. profile on your computer. Since Fujifilm didn't provide such a file for the WCL-X100 attachment, I created one and uploaded it to the Adobe website. To download and automatically install it on your computer, use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader available on their website. Be sure to disable the wide-angle option after removing the WCL-X100 from the camera. If you're using Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw, you'll need to install a lens correction profile on your computer.
