Flexibility is the real virtue of this high-quality wide angle lens. It was originally bought for my Canon G12 because it was wider than the wide-angle lens offered by Canon. Yes, this Olympus wide-angle attachment fits a Canon camera, with a little help via accessories from Lensmate. The real surprise was when I tried it on my Canon XF100 video camera years later. I had already bought a step-down ring for use with the Canon camera, and it turned out to be just right for the Canon XF100. It did not vignette the corners. I don't even own an Olympus camera, but after this, I'll have to try one. It's not easy to screw on, and takes several tries. The top-heavy wide-angle lens keeps slipping out of a true level position when trying to screw it on. In the test photo, note how the lens blocks the on-camera flash, but illuminates left and right. Focus point was the car nearest the camera. No color correction or sharpening was added, other than "clarity" used in raw processing.

High quality. It lack a filter attachment, so you cannot protect with a clear or UV filter, but you can utilize any filter of 55mm diameter, if you attach at the back. It has a big diameter, compared with other similar products, so it is bulky.

Have excellent results with this add-on lens used with a FujiFilm S602z and attaching to a stationary adapter tube.
