Nikon WC-E63 Objetivo Convertidor Wideangle

Introduction

One of biggest problems facing any digital photographer is the lack of wide angle options. The Coolpix models have built-in lenses that barely reach into the wide angle range (about equivalent to a 35mm lens on a 35mm SLR). Nikon originally made a low-cost converter WC-E24, but many found this 2-element converter to produce too much barrel distortion and chromatic aberration in the corners. Because of the 28mm thread size on the Coolpix lenses, there is a practical limit to what you can hang off the front of a Coolpix.

The WC-E63 is indicated as a 0.63x converter with four elements in four groups. It does not change the aperture rating of the overall lens. Here's how the 0.63x works with the various Coolpix models:
