A compact wide-angle prime with intuitive handling and an advanced optical design, the black M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 from Olympus is a 24mm equivalent lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The wide focal length pairs with the bright f/2 maximum aperture to benefit available light shooting as well as astrophotography applications. The lens's optical design makes use of one aspherical element, one DSA (Double Super Aspherical) element, and a Super HR (high refractive index) element to reduce spherical aberrations and control distortion for notable sharpness, and one extra-low dispersion element reduces color fringing for high clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, the lens is characterized by its Movie & Still Compatible autofocus system for quick and quiet performance, as well as a manual focus clutch and Snapshot Focus mode for intuitive control over focus position and depth of field.

Would that lens be compatible with the Fuji x100F ?
We're afraid not. The FUJIFILM X100F is a Point and Shoot Camera with a built in lens. This is for a camera with an MFT mount. FUJIFILM does offer the WCL-X100 II Wide Conversion Lens (Silver) which you could consider instead, B&H # FUWCLX100IIS.

question
Where is this lens made from?
There have been reports some were made in Japan, but most appear to have been made in China. I don't remember where mine was manufactured before I sold it. I got ride of mine simply because I invested in the 12-40mm PRO. The onlinephotographer didn't like it, but I suspect most users would disagree with him. It's well made and among the best of the primes for the m43 format, in my opinion.
