A compiled list of all the best accessories and gear for the Fujifilm X-E3. Mostly also compatible with the X-E2 and X-E2s. Almost all the products and brands listed here I’ve personally used on various Fujifilm cameras and only list the best stuff I’ve been able to find.
If you find something better that I’ve missed, let me know and I’ll try it out. While this list has been updated for the Fujifilm X-E3, I’ll keep some information for the E-E2 and X-E2s since those cameras are still pretty popular.

Fujifilm X-E3 Essential Accessories
Screen Protectors
A screen protector might be one of the single most important things you can buy for your Fuji X-E2 or X-E3. I use the Expert Shields on most of my cameras and they come in a few different types. Crystal Clear, Anti-Glare, and Glass.
Crystal Clear and Anti-Glare eventually will come off after a few years. I’ve never had a hard glass protector come off, but they do chip away along the edges.

Fujifilm X-E3 Batteries
Official Fujifilm NP-W126S Battery Available At: Amazon Since the release of the X-E2, Fujifilm has also released a new battery with an improved discharge rate. The older batters have now been discontinued. The Fuji X-E3 comes with these new NP-W126S batteries.

Wasabi Third-Party Batteries Available At: Amazon Wasabi has released some new batteries that match the specs of the NP-W126s for the new cameras like the X-E3, X-Pro2, and X-T3. Wasabi makes the best third-party batteries and they’ve been around for a pretty long time now.

Soft Release Button
The next best thing you can get for your camera is a Soft Release button. I like the one I have on my Fuji. It’s also made by Lensmate. There are a few things to keep in mind. There are cheaper ones and then there are the Lensmate ones. I have both and here is my consensus. The cheaper ones will vibrate around and fall off when you’re not paying attention. The Lensmate ones have this built-in rubber washer. So when you screw the soft-release button in, it forms a tighter seal keeping it from vibrating loose. 10MM Diameter Red Metal Convex At – Amazon Anodized Red Lizard At – Amazon Check out more colors and options here At – Amazon |
Grips & Cases
Half Cases
If you’re looking for a few nice leather cases I’ve tried quite a few on my various Fujifilm cameras.
Here are your best options.

Hand Grips
Fujifilm Metal Hand Grip For The X-E3 / X-E2s The Fujifilm metal hand grip is nice. I had one for my X-Pro2 for a while and they do the job. However, they will add a bit of noticeable weight to the camera which may or may not bother some people. Fujifilm X-E3 Metal Grip At – Amazon Fujifilm X-E2s Metal Grip At – Amazon Made by Fujifilm |

Fujifilm X-E2 | X-E3 Lenses
I keep an updated list of all the available lenses that can be easily purchased for the Fujifilm X-E2.
See the Fujifilm X-Mount Lens List.
Fuji X-Mount Macro Extension Tube
There are two Macro Extension tubes you can purchase from Fuji. The MCEX-11 and the MCEX-16. I own the MCEX-11 to use my 56mm f1.2 lens as a macro lens. This works great but there are some huge limitations. One is that your max focus will only be a few feet from the camera. When you have the macro extension tube mounted you really can only take photos of up-close macro photography. This works differently than real macro lenses that have infinite focus.

Camera Straps
Wrist Straps
There are two I recommend. The Gariz Strap and the Gordy’s. I have to Gariz straps. They last forever and are made with real leather. But the Gordys are American-made and look a little cooler.
I use the Gordy’s on my Fuji and the Gariz on my Sony. Note: The Gariz ships from Korea and it takes 2-3 weeks for it to get to the US. Gordy’s will come in a few days.

Full Straps
The Fuji strap that comes with your camera is good enough, but it’s nice to connect to something that will allow you to easily take it on and off of your camera without a hassle. That’s what this is for. I love mine. I ordered it during their original Kickstarter.

There is a new C-Loop Mini now as well – Amazon
Cleaning Supplies
(6 Pack) MagicFiber® Premium Microfiber Cleaning Cloths I often keep an updated fresh supply of Microfiber cloths in my bag. Eventually, these will get oil and lint on them and no longer clean effectively. This 6-pack is a great bag as it will provide you with enough microfiber cloths for a long time. (Don’t use these on your sensor)

Rocket Air Blasters Air blasters are pretty handy, it’s always better to clean your lens and sensor with air when you can. Touching them is always risky. I have the medium size as it gives me more thrust than the small. But if you have a small camera bag, the smaller size might be better for you.

Sensor Brush APS-C Available At: Amazon Sensor brushes are the best way to clean your sensor without using the wet method. I always keep one of these in my travel bag or bring one when I know I’ll be shooting in a situation where I’ll be changing lenses. They are extremely handy. |
Camera Bags
The Mover 20 will allow you to fit a Fujifilm X-E3 and a lens or two with no problem. It has a zipper to keep everything secure but when you pull your camera out, the top flap automatically shuts with a magnet connector to give you a little bit of security.
The Mover 10 will still be big enough for an X-E2 and a small lens.
You could fit the X-E3 in the Mover 5 if you have a pancake lens, like the Fujifilm 27mm. Otherwise, the X-E3 will not fit in the Mirrorless Mover 5.

Fuji X-E3 | X-E2 Accessories Conclusion
The Fujifilm X-E3 and X-E2 are great cameras. With a few added accessories they can be customized to your style and personal taste. As I find more accessories I will continue to update this list and one day I might even start including more tripods and bags as I have quite a collection of bags now.
