Our editorial take on the Olympus WCON-P01 Wide Converter Lens (M.Zuiko 14-42 II)

The Olympus WCON-P01 is a wide converter lens designed specifically for the M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens on Micro Four Thirds cameras. It attaches to the front of the lens to widen the field of view, making it useful for landscape, architecture, and interior photography where you need to capture more of the scene. At $21, it's an affordable way to expand the capabilities of the kit lens without investing in a dedicated wide-angle prime or zoom.

This is a legacy accessory that shows up primarily in the used market, often in excellent or like-new condition from outlets like KEH. It's a niche product that appeals to Olympus and OM System users who already own the compatible 14-42mm II lens and want a quick, budget-friendly solution for wider shots. Because it's an add-on converter rather than a standalone lens, it's compact and easy to carry, though it does introduce some optical compromises typical of screw-on converters, such as potential edge softness or vignetting.

Best for: Olympus and OM System Micro Four Thirds shooters who own the M.Zuiko 14-42mm II lens and want an inexpensive way to widen their field of view without buying a new lens.
