How would I go about attaching this wide angle lens without the macro portion as the threading is on the inside?

They way I did it was unscrewing the macro lens and then screwed the wide lens directly to my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. I'm holding the wide lens in my hands now, and I can see the threading on the outside. To be candid with you, the results were very disappointing. In my opinion it was a waste of time and money. Right now saving for a real Canon wide angle lens, (e.g., Canon EF-S 10-18 f/4.5-5.6 IS STM which can be had here at Amazon.com for $299.00. I hope this information is useful to you.

Fine threads allow you to turn it clockwise to attach it to the installed lense. A lite two fingered "snug" when tightning it down, is all you need to confirm that it is fully seated.

Go to the Fotodiox website for this adapter. They have instructions for removing the lens for macro use.

The clear center lens twists and comes out of the front of the white housing. When you remove the lens it exposes the screw holes to mount the white housing to whatever you are going to attach it to. After you have mounted the white housing push the clear lens back in the center and twist to lock in place.

wide angle lens screws into threads on existing lens. the diameter has to match the existing size. don't know if an adaptor ring will allow for the diameters to match.

Remove the existing ring around the lens ( mine is black and easily turns counter clockwise) The adapter then goes in it's place.

Harvey, They screw on to the front of the lens like a filter. I have experimented with both sets of lens and they seem to well. You'll need the tripod for the 2X and maybe the macro lenses.

It should be easy to attach the adhesive patch to the center of the lens cap on the outside. Then the elastic band goes around the lens body attaching the cap to the lens. It's easy to slip off the band if the cap gets in the way.

With your hand. :) There's a bracket, almost like an adapter ring, that screws onto the threads on the end of the lens, then the flash clips to that. It rotates freely once it's on that bracket, so if you want to keep it in a certain orientation (like to keep the ring shapes reflecting just the way you want off of the eyes) you would have to hold it or rig up some gaffer's tape or something.

There's a ring around the x100s lens, you need to unscrew it and then you can screw the lens hood on.

No instruction included. I referred to the owners manual. I believe it is just a matter of prying off the lens

I have never tried to mount my fish eye direct to my lens. The 2 pieces together give you the fisheye effect. The macro can be used alone....

There is a metal tab that clips the adapter to the lens when rotated. It's a bit tricky, but you have to hold the clip up while you rotate the adapter off of the lens. This may be really difficult if it's a snug fit. You may need needle nose pliers to compress the tab far enough.

On my lens there is a ridged release button on the lens just next to where the red line-up dot is on the adapter. Push down on the button and turn the adapter. It should come right off.

Easily, If you try to screw your lens cap into the lens without pinching the sides, you will run along a thread in the lens. The wide angle works the same way, it follows a thread on the lens.

Yes, You can replace the standard lens with the wide angle. It is necessary to split the case, remove the camera from the board ,loosen the set screw and unscrew the lens. Here is a link for how to do it. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=25880644&postcount=1984 Here is another good article http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1904559 Hope this helps!
