The Olympus WCON-08B
is a high-performance wide conversion lens designed to expand
the field of view of compatible Olympus digital cameras, particularly
the E-10 and E-20 series.
Key Features
- Conversion Factor:
0.8x
Reduces the effective focal length by 20%, transforming a standard
35mm equivalent into a wider 28mm view ideal for landscape,
architectural, and interior photography.
- Optical Construction:
3 elements in 3 groups
Engineered for clarity and minimal distortion, maintaining sharpness
across the frame.
- Mount Compatibility:
62mm thread
Designed to screw directly onto Olympus E-10/E-20 lenses, and
adaptable to other cameras with a standard 62mm thread.
- Build Quality:
Durable and precise
Robust construction ensures longevity and reliable performance
under regular use.
Usage Notes
- Attachment:
Power off the camera before mounting. Remove any existing filters,
then screw the lens on gently avoid overtightening.
- No aperture adjustment
needed:
The lens modifies focal length without requiring changes to aperture
settings.
Compatibility & Adaptation
While optimised for Olympus
E-series cameras, the WCON-08B can be adapted to other systems
using step rings or conversion tubes. It's often used in legacy
setups or creative macro rigs where wide-angle extension is needed. |
