wide-angle converter available?

michhy · 30th December 2005

Hi are there any wide-angle conversion lense I can use on my 55mm threads (S5600Z) ?
I asked MS Color for Fuji ones and they said no. What about 3rd party ones? Thanks.

Olympus got one 0.7x with 55mm thread, 0.8x with 62mm threads. You need step up ring though.
Can be found in B&S sometime.

Hmm, I dont mind the 0.7x.
Have anyone tried them before though? I mean, will auto-focus and the lot still function? Generally, how good are these? Thanks pal.
