Created by the same experts who designed the X100's lens, the WCL-X100 delivers comparable image quality even at the f/2 wide aperture setting, retaining all the original optical characteristics, including the attractive bokeh effect. This optical excellence is underlined by the fact that the WCL-X100 is manufactured in Japan, allowing Fujifilm engineers to guarantee precision & quality in every component. The optical construction uses four premium glass elements in three groups to keep aberrations to a minimum & also employs Fujinon's unique Super EBC coating for outstanding results. Image processing optimizes picture quality Achieving the very best results from the WCL-X100 is simple; just select the ' Wide Conversion Lens' option in the FUJIFILM X100's shooting menu.

In you select the ' Wide Conversion Lens' option, The FUJIFILM X100 apply automatically image processing to shots taken using the WCL-X100 to reduce image distortion, ensure balanced illumination across the frame & reduce chromatic aberration, commonly found in wide conversion lenses. In practice, the WCL-X100 maintains the functionality of the FUJIFILM X100. The auto focusing speed remains the same, the 10cm macro distance still applies & it is also compatible with the FUJIFILM X100's hybrid viewfinder. With the optical viewfinder (OVF) selected, icons showing the edge of the frame are displayed instead of the frame rim (equivalent to 80% of the frame field of view), while selecting the electronic viewfinder (EVF) gives users a 100% field of view. The perfect match for the Fujifilm X100 The design of the WCL-X100 has been carefully considered to ensure a seamless blend with the camera. It uses the same materials, textures & colors as the existing X100, plus the optional LH-X100 lens hood & PRF-49S protective filter can be used on the conversion lens. Furthermore, the clip-on lens cap for the WCL-X100 can be attached with both the lens hood & filter in place.
