The E550 is a good camera and this lens does do a good job of zooming in on the subject but due to the way the camera and lens are designed, you must have the camera's zoom fully extended in order to use this tele lens. So this means if the subject is moving around a lot, such as my daughter playing soccer, you will miss the shots where the action has moved to close to you because you can't zoom out. As long as the action remains at some distance to you than this zoom lens is useful. I unfortunately have too many ruined shots because the action moved too close and their heads get cut off, etc.

Another negative is that the viewfinder doesn't show the zoomed in image, you must use the lcd screen to frame a shot, which can be difficult in bright sunlight.

An excellent add on to the Fuji camera for all those shots that just don't make it into the nomal lens. Easy to add, same exposure, sharp shots in hand held mode

Fujifilm Convertion Lens TLFXE01 is permitting to make pictures with large-scale of objects for long distances. But sometimes auto focusing is working wrong.
I am recommending to test the pictures after shooting.

This product was exactly what I was looking for but I probably wouldn't purchase it again for this camera since it made the camera very hard to auto focus and many of my pictures came out blurry. I don't believe it has anything to do with the lens I purchased but the difficulties with the camera.

I haven't got this item because it is too expensive for what it gives. I have a Fujifilm E550 camera which cost is USD 250.00 by this date. This lens cost is USD 95.00 and it need a special adapter ring that cost extra USD 20.00. That means you will pay USD 365.00 for a 8x zoom camera. For that price or less you can get a +10x SLR like camera like the Fujifilm S5100 or S5200.
