S7000 Adaptor

[Webbyboy]

Anyone know which S7000 is good? Does any shop sells AR-FX9 Fuji Original adaptor? What will be a good tele lens for s7000?

From what I know, nobody sells the original Fuji in the shops. For those who bought BOTH the wide angle and tele convertor, there will be two adaptors, hence often, one will be sold. I had two of the convertors, sold one to a friend.

There are 3rd party or unbranded 55mm to 55mm tubes out there (try Alan Photo). I strongly suggest the 55 to 55, the more readily available 55 to 52 limits you to one filter only, vignetting when you add a rubber hood or a second filter.

Take the original Fuji 1.5x teleconvertor. A little soft and best used at F4.0 and smaller, but good performance.

I have only used the original Fuji 1.5xTC. I believe that Raynox does have better ones, but I am not aware of any local carriers. If you order by mail from the USA, well, postage and quality assurance can be a problem.

There are other brands out there that gives reasonable results, Vitacon, SteinZeiser, but I feel that the Fuji 1.5x is best. Please note that some 'cheaper' TC labelled 2x are actually only 1.5x or worse.

Thanks for your reply, how much did you get your Fuji 1.5x??

About SGD150 new. There should be people selling second hand nowadays. The corresponding Fuji wide angle (0.79x) is about SGD200 new.

You can get the OEM fuji 55-52 adaptor tube at south asia. Tele lens wise, there are a lot of OEM lenses in the market. You can check them out at AP.

I want to use back 55-55, i went to AP but they only have 55-52, any other places sell 55-55 OEM fuji adaptor?

With regards

You will probably get it in the Buy and Sell of this forum. Not anyplace that I know of over two years sells the 55 to 55. Alternatively, buy a Fuji wide angle or tele convertor.

if you want to use the black fuji 55-55 adaptor, you can get a step ring from 55-52 to accomodate the 52mm threaded converter.
