I've played around a bit with exifTool over the weekend and I found that changing the focal length alone is not enough. There is "Geometric Distortion Params" embedded in the exif of the Fuji raw file. I was thinking of overwriting that field with data from a normal Fuji X100T file but apparently you can't write to that field. Maybe you just can't write to the whole field because it's made of multiple floating point numbers (probably coefficients of a polynom to describe the distortion correction) but I can't figure out how to get/set the single numbers either...

So, I'm kind of stuck. Might have another look at a later date.

I would have thought there's an easier way to fix this as it seems like a pretty easy mistake to make...

How many shots did you shoot this way? If you don't mistakenly enable the TCL correction in the camera menu again, you shouldn't have any trouble in the future.

If you need to fix a lot of images, just get the Iridient X-Transformer plug-in and fix it that way. besides being able to fix the issue, you also get significantly better demosaicing and the ability to trick LR into allowing you to use film situations that aren't available with your model. Well worth the 40 bucks, IMO.
