I recently purchased a Fujifilm X100VI and want to protect its lens with a high-quality UV filter. I'm looking for a filter that will minimize any negative impact on image quality while providing reliable protection against scratches, dust, and other potential hazards.

I've heard mixed opinions on whether UV filters are necessary for the X100VI's fixed lens, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. What are your experiences with UV filters on the X100VI? Are there any specific brands or models you would recommend for optimal performance and protection?

> What are your experiences with UV filters on the X100VI? Are there any specific brands or models you would recommend for optimal performance and protection? Jumping in because I am obsessed with my VI! Quick question tho... are you planning to use the official Fujifilm adapter or were you looking at a third party hood kit? It totally changes which filter fits best for weather sealing. Honestly, spending a fortune on boutique filters is overkill. I love these options:

  • Hoya 49mm NXT Plus UV Filter is fantastic for the price.
  • B+W 49mm Master 010 UV MRC Nano is amazing if you want easier cleaning. Technically, these have high transmission so you wont see any IQ drop. But you MUST use an adapter like the Fujifilm AR-X100 Adapter Ring first. If you screw a filter directly onto the lens, you will get a focus error when the lens moves forward! Seriously, dont skip the adapter. Let me know what your setup looks like and I can give more specific tips.

I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to light transmission data, so I actually spent a weekend testing different filters on my old X100V to see if there was any real resolution loss. Ngl, most of the high-end stuff is overkill for everyday shooting. I found that as long as the glass is multi-coated, you are basically fine. I have been using the Kenko Realpro UV Filter 49mm for a while now. It has got this anti-stain coating thats super helpful when you are out in the wind or rain, and it didnt show any noticeable ghosting in my flare tests. Another solid, budget-friendly pick is the B+W 49mm Basic UV Haze MRC. It is built like a tank and the glass quality is top-notch without the boutique price tag. The X100VI really needs that filter to finish the weather sealing anyway. Just make sure you get one with a slim profile so it does not cause any issues when the lens moves forward during macro focusing... seen that happen with some older bulky filters.

I was absolutely terrified of getting a scratch on my new lens the second I took it out of the box! Being a bit of a cautious beginner, I spent way too much time obsessing over which glass would keep my X100VI safest while still looking amazing. I ended up comparing two of the high-end ones because I really value reliability.

  • B+W 49mm 010 UV-Haze MRC nano XS-Pro : The brass frame on this is incredibly solid. I was worried about aluminum filters getting cross-threaded or stuck, but this feels like it belongs on the camera.
  • Breakthrough Photography 49mm X4 UV Filter : This one has fantastic grip on the edges! It was so easy to screw on and off, and the clarity is just stunning. I eventually went with the B+W because the brand history makes me feel so much safer. It is such a relief knowing the lens is protected by something that feels like a tank!

Before you buy anything, you really need to be careful about the lens movement on the X100VI. If you try to screw a filter directly onto the lens thread without a spacer or adapter, you risk damaging the focus motor when it tries to extend. It is a common mistake that can be expensive to fix. I would suggest taking a DIY approach to save some cash. You can find very inexpensive 49mm adapter rings online that work just as well as the branded ones. Once you have that, there is no real need to break the bank on the glass itself. I have found that the Tiffen 49mm UV Protection Filter offers perfectly adequate protection for a fraction of the cost of boutique brands. Another great budget-friendly option is the Marumi 49mm DHG Lens Protect. It is multi-coated and keeps the flare down without the premium price tag. Just make sure to check the clearance once the adapter is on. Save your money for a spare battery instead... you are gonna need it with this camera.

I use NiSi UHD UV Filter. Works great.
