Like the X100T the Fujifilm X-Pro2 has been setup to be very customizable. Accessories like thumb grips and soft shutters that don’t typically work well on DLSR-style cameras work great on these rangefinder-style cameras.
Although a lot of the custom accessories like metal handgrips and leather half cases have been discontinued, all the basics are still available for the X-Pro2 which you can find in this list.

Best Screen Protectors
I’ve already found a company selling screen protectors for the X-Pro 2, and they happen to be my favorite. I would definitely by a screen protector for this camera simply because I did for my XT1 and it already has a huge scratch across it. You can never be too careful. I also don’t think these screens are made with gorilla glass or anything special like that.

Batteries For The X-Pro 2
The best batteries for the X-Pro 2 are going to be the Fujifilm brand batters. But there are some great third-party batteries as well and I’ll list a few of those for those who are looking to save a buck.
The Fujifilm X-Pro2 uses the same battery as the X-T1. The NP-W126 Li-Ion Battery Pack. So if you already have batteries for your X-T1, maybe you won’t need them anymore.
Fujifilm NP-W126S – Amazon / Adorama – New & more efficient. These run much cooler.

Memory Cards
The Fujifilm X-Pro 2 is one of the fastest cameras I’ve ever tested when it comes to memory card write speeds with the UHS-II cards.
It features a dual memory card slot with slot 1 taking UHS-II cards and slot 2 taking UHS-I cards.
The best sd memory card you can buy in terms of performance is the Lexar 2000x.

Soft Release Button
I would consider getting a soft shutter release for your X-Pro 2. Even if you don’t go with the more expensive Lensmate brand, they are still really nice.
Lensmate Soft ShutterAvailable At: Amazon I have used the Lensmate soft shutters for my different Fujifilm cameras for a long time, and I only lost one of them. These soft shutters have a little rubber seal that prevents them from loosening. Just make sure you tighten them well every few days before you use the camera. |
Some other brands have also adopted the Lensmate soft shutter releases’ superior design and added the rubber washer that stops it from coming loose. Here are a few that I have tested.
QiangNi Soft ShutterAvailable At: Amazon This Soft Shutter comes in a 2-pack and is cheaper than the Lensmate soft shutters. The design is simple and elegant. These are probably mass-produced in China and sold under different brand names. |
Foto&Tech Soft ShutterAvailable At: Amazon Foto&Tech has added the rubber washer to their soft shutters. These come in a pair, so you have a spare one if you lose one, and they are affordable enough to try them out and see if you like how the shutter feels. Some people may not like the different feel. They also have different shapes, like concave or convex. |
VKO Wood Soft ShutterAvailable At: Amazon VKO has some nice wooden soft shutters that you can match with your other accessories to style your camera. They have two shapes, concave or convex, in different colors. These also have a rubber washer, so they won’t fall off your camera because of vibration. |
Camera Straps
Wrist Straps
Fuji X100T With Hard Graft Slide Camera Wrist Strap
It’s getting to that point where I need to make a dedicated page just for all the great straps I’ve found.
There are several wrist straps I’ve tried now, the Gariz, the Gordy’s, and now the Hard Graft Slide. I’ll give a little bit of information about each one.
Hand Straps
I’ll have photos of these on camera soon.
Gariz Camera Strap
If you want a really simple wrist strap the Gariz is great. I have a few and have had them for years. Some of them are really beat up but still hold together well. The colors do fade after a while. They do have that sort of mass-produced made-in-China feel to them, but they’re still very durable and well-made.

Gordy’s Camera Straps
Gordy’s makes some great full straps as well as leather wrist straps. If I had to pick I would take a Gordy’s over the Gariz since they are both a similar price. The Gordy’s strap has more of a handcrafted feel, whereas the Gariz feels a bit more China-made and mass-produced.
Gordy’s Also Makes Great Straps – Gordyscamerastraps
Hard Graft Slide Camera Wrist Strap
Although more expensive, this is a far superior strap to the other two and is my personal favorite. This strap is simply beautiful. It’s very well-built with a handcrafted feel and is made with some really great leather.

Full Strap
I’ve found some really nice leather straps that would go very well with the Fujifilm X-Pro 2
Check these out. They’re a bit expensive but it’s genuine leather and should last you a lifetime if you take care of it.

Cleaning Supplies
To clean the lenses I always use Microfiber cleaning cloths. I don’t use lens pens or any cleaning solution. They always seem to leave a strange residue and you don’t want to ruin the coatings on your lenses.
I go through Microfiber cleaning cloths like socks. Buying them in bulk is the way to go and this pack is nice.

I always keep a Rocket Air around to blast out any dust from those small hard-to-reach edges. Q-tips can be nice as well. I’m sure you have some in your bathroom so I’m not going to list Q-Tips on a camera accessory page.

Rocket Air Medium – Amazon
Sometimes I’ll find pieces of dust stuck to my sensor that will not come off with the Rocket Air. In this case, I use the Sensor Brush. These work very well but don’t expect miracles. They won’t remove fingerprints or anything like that.

Best Accessories Fujifilm X-Pro 2 | Conclusion
The X-Pro 2 is a pretty old camera at this point. And it’s a camera I’ll probably keep forever. Most of the custom accessories are no longer available as Fujifilm and third-party companies have discontinued these products. You can however still find some screen protectors and straps as well as some thumb grips and soft shutter releases.
I’ve listed the best of what’s still available and what I’m still using.
