Sher 0.42x Wide Angle Converter On S5700 S700
|
Hi Everybody,
People have posted about similair gadgets before, but I thought it might be interest to share some shots about and from a wide-angle converter I got from the car-boot sale yesterday for a fiver.
I don't think its designed specifically for the Fuji - perhaps a video camera - but it's got a 46mm thread and works ok.
Converter On The S5700:
Note the bulk, subtle colour, and lack of filter thread.
Comparison shot:
The top photo is the usual Fuji wide-angle, the bottom the "useable" area of the converter, achieved by adding a little zoom, or you could crop in post. Note the colour cast, probably fixable in-camera with a custom white ballance, or again in post. Or just make b & w's.
Shot at full wide-angle:
Shot cropped to 16x9 ratio in post:
Black & White HDR:
Shot taken from about 3" above the beach:
I was really surprised at the difference this little (!) converter made - it's not just a gimic, I think there's some great potential here. OK, it's not the sharpest, and there's a definite colour cast, but keep your eye's peeled to see if you can pick one up cheap on eBay or at your local car-boot sale.
Cheers, Rob.

Í think that it's a great accessoire! The color cast has its own feeling, a bit like film shots. Unfortunately the usable area is not that big as it seems, still a good effect for a five quid buy.

One thing I'll be trying is to use the converter at the full wide-angle (including the vignetting and distortion), then using post processing to remove that barrel distortion - (thanks for the idea Victor).
Cheers, Rob.

very interesting gear and good result Mr Rob
i also build my fish eyes, it came from one part of minolta MC rokkor 58mm, i glued it on my 46 filter, can not focus, i have to do macro shot. its mean im focusing on the additional lens, i have done test this morning and the result is awfull.
no aditional lens on widest angle
result with adiitional lens
blur on corner ,vigneting, purple fringe
edited wih photoshop using spherize filter, and remove the saturation of blue color
still blur he he he
not really good idea, but maybe help me if i cant do nothing else to get wider angle. and it cost nothing.
sorry for bugging your discussion Mr Rob, i just want to share too,
does somebody can help me to fix my blur problem???
and does somebody can help me how to put image in discussion larger?
