A list of the best lens hoods, screen protectors, cases, straps, thumb grips, and soft shutters for the Fuji X100F.
The picture above shows me what accessories I’m using for my X100F.
I’ve tried out most of these accessories, so if you have any questions, please comment.
I’ve ordered the X100F in silver this time.

Best Batteries For The Fuji X100F
There are two different official Fujifilm batteries on the market, the older NP-W126, and the new NP-W126s.
The W126 batteries will work fine but you should be buying the new W126s batteries at this point. New cameras like the X-T3 will give you a notice when you use the older batteries so I have removed the old batteries from this list.
|
Fujifilm NP-W126S The new NP-W126S is more efficient while also allowing more current to be drawn without raising temperatures, which means it has a different discharge profile. |
Available At: Memory Cards
The X100F uses UHS-I memory cards. I’ve tested many of the most popular memory cards in the X100F to find which are the best. See the guide below.

Best Fujifilm X100F Screen Protectors

Terminal Protectors
|
If you don’t have a thumb grip or don’t plan on getting one, then the terminal protectors are very nice to use when you’re not using an external flash. This kit comes with a hot shoe cover, sync terminal cap & vertical grip cover. Only the Hot Shoe Cover works on this camera. I’ve seen some friends use other custom terminal protectors from Etsy. There aren’t as many good ones on Amazon. |
Available At: Soft Release Buttons
|
Set up your camera with a soft-release button. There are so many options out there it’s hard to decide. Here are a few popular ones but there are many options besides these. Right now I see a lot of people ordering the 10MM Diameter one probably because they are cheaper, but they do fall off occasionally because they lack a rubber spacer that keeps them from vibrating. The Lensmate has the rubber spacers but is pricey. |
Thumb Grips
|
The thumb grips are nice for securing the camera in hand. This is one of those must-have accessories, in my opinion. I’ve also completed a review with sample photos of the Lensmate X100F thumb grip. Nobody makes a better thumb grip than Lensmate. Lensmate Thumb Grip Be sure to check around, but I do not see these as available anymore.

Body Cases
Grip & Leather Cases For The Fujifilm X100F
The X100f is an older camera now so a lot of the third-party case companies have discontinued or stopped producing cases for this camera. If you check Amazon or look through Kaza, there are still a few options out there.
|
Kaza Deluxe Kaza Deluxe has been my go-to leather case for my last few cameras. I have their case for my X-Pro 2 and love it. They come from Hong Kong and can sometimes take a few weeks to ship, but worth it. In my opinion, this is probably the best leather case for the X100f when you consider what you get for the price. Luigi cases are also nice but I think this is more reasonable. |
Lens Accessories
The Fujifilm X100F has what looks to be the same lens as previous models which means the previous lens accessories should all work just fine.
Here is a list of some of the best UV filters and lens hoods for Fujifilm X100F
Filter And Hood Adapters
These are pretty important for a fixed-lens camera like this. You can’t just send your lens in for repair or replace it like you can with an interchangeable.
There are quite a few lens hoods out there now for the X100 series of cameras.

Fujifilm X100F Lens Converters
There are two new lens converters available for the X100F. They’ll also work on the previous models. The big advantage of using the new lens converters with the X100F is that they can now notify the camera when they are screwed on. Previously, you would have to go into the menus and manually tell the camera that the lens converters are mounted. This would tell the camera to correct for distortion and vignetting. If you forgot to turn this on or off, then you’re left with a weird image that’s corrected for the wrong lens.
New Versions

Fujifilm TCL-X100 1.4x II Conversion 50mm Equivalent |
|
Fujifilm WCL-X100 Wide Conversion Lens 0.8x 28mm Equivalent Both these adapters are very nice for expanding the capabilities of your X100F. |
Camera Straps
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.
Gariz Genuine Leather Camera Wrist StrapAvailable At: Amazon 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 beat up now 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 at a similar price. The Gordy’s strap has more of a handcrafted feel, whereas the Gariz feels a bit more China-made/mass-produced. |
Hard Graft Slide Camera Wrist StrapAvailable At: HardGraft 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. I wrote up a small review on this strap you can read about – Hard Graft Slide Camera Strap Review They’ve been discontinuing a lot of their camera straps. Get them while you can. |
Available At: Full Strap
I’ve found some nice leather straps that would go very well with the Fuji X100F.
Some of them are a bit expensive, but are genuine leather and should last you a lifetime if you take care of them.

Camera Bags
I have the Mover 20, so I can fit both my A7rIII and FujiX100F in a single case at the same time.
One of the features I like is when you unzip the case; the top flap has a built-in magnet that snaps shut to keep everything from spilling out if you forget to zip it back up.
|
Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 10 The Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 10 is a perfect, snug little case for just the X100F. It fits the camera very nicely, and you can carry some extra memory cards and a USB charger. |
|
Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 20 The Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 20 is a great option if you want to carry your X100F and a few of those conversion lenses. Or, throw in a few other things instead, like a wallet, battery chargers, smartphone, etc. |
Ona also has some great stuff you can find at Amazon. I haven’t used their bag, so I can’t say much about them.
Electronic Accessories
Flashes For The X100F
Most of the compact Fujifilm flashes have now been discontinued.
Godox quickly filled this void with a nice compact flash. The Godox Lux Junior is not TTL; it does have a small light sensor, but it’s best to control it manually. It’s fairly easy to use once you get used to it.
Printer
Portable printers are a great way to break the ice when you want to take some shots of strangers. Ask to take their photos, print one out, and give them to them, as an instant friend. Then take some more.
Cleaning Supplies
There are only a few cleaning items you need for this camera since it’s a fixed lens. To clean the lens, 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 lens. I go through Microfiber cleaning cloths like socks. Buying them in bulk is the way to go, and this pack is nice.
|
(6 Pack) MagicFiber® Premium Microfiber Cleaning Cloths Available At: Amazon I always keep a Rocket Air around to blast out any dust from those small hard-to-reach edges. Q-tips can be nice. I’m sure you have some in your bathroom, so I’m not going to list Q-Tips on an X100F camera accessory page. |
Rocket Air Small
I usually use these little rocket airs to clean my sensors and lenses. Since you’ll never see the sensor on your X100F, it becomes a nice little tool for cleaning your lens. |
Best Accessories For The Fuji X100F | Conclusions
This is by far my favorite camera to customize, and I’m always finding myself mixing and matching different accessories to give it a different look. While some accessories are better than others, some might work better for the look you are going for. This is especially true for lens hoods and soft shutters.
There is so much great stuff being made for the X100,F and I’m finding it difficult to keep up, so if you find anything you can’t live without, let me know and I’ll try it out and add it to the list.

Do you think the Lensmate Thump Grip will have to be changed?
Yes most likely. But I’ll find out when I get the camera and update this post. Or if Lensmate emails me before then.
And sorry for the late reply, some of my email notifications are going to my spam folder now for some reason.
Hi Alik, love the Deadcamera straps. I got the largest one for my XT2 also. Extremely well made and much less cost than other premium straps. My X100F (2 months old) is in repair, first one returned due to focusing issues. The SD card slot lost its “spring”, could be from a fragment out of an SD card, but never had that happen before…
I also need to send my X100F in for repair. I got the infamous sticky shutter issue where the shutter button gets like stuck when trying to depress it, then clicks down when enough force is applied. It’s like there is something inside getting caught on something.
Hi Alik, thanks for your list, it helped me a lot. I just want to update you concerning the LCD screen size, which in fact really DOES match the previous one from X100T (and X-E2/E2S…), so all the older screen protectors will fit, too. Thanks again and take care!
Thanks, it turns out I had an extra screen protector from my old X100T and it worked great.
Thank you! Wonderful. I just bought this camera and it is amazing!!
Yes it is! There should be a few more cool accessories like thumb rests and leather cases coming in a month or so from Lensmate and Kaza.
thank you for this! I am waiting on my x100f. what color variation do you have? (I apologize if you mentioned it already within this blog or feed).
I got the Silver this time. Had a black x100T.
Gariz half-cases finally available on ebay…
Thanks Roboto.
Hey Alik,
You wrote “Official Sony Case”
lol. Thanks, I was editing some Sony pages right before this one.
Does Gariz half-case for Fuji X100s fit the X100f too? Thanks!
Nope.
Hello I did some researches online but it looks line there is no eyecup for X100* series. Am I right?
I don’t actually own a X100* and, being an eyeglass holder, I was wondering if it could be uncomfortable shooting in full sun.
Any advices? 🙂
I’ve actually never seen one. The current eyecup on the camera seems to be permanently attached, so there isn’t really anyway to swap to another eyecup.
Unless Gariz sent me the wrong case, the Gariz half-case for the Fuji X100F has a major design flaw. Once the case is on the camera, it is almost impossible to get the sd card out. Very difficult. You almost need a pair of tweezers.
Any ideas for an eyecup for eyeglass wearers???
This is the only one I know of – https://goo.gl/tnCLWx but I’ve never tested it.
Deadcameras slim straps are fantastic and relatively inexpensive. I got a thumb grip that folds back to allow access to the wheel on the back of the camera….Can’t recall the maker of the thumb grip…
Thanks Louis, I just got that Lensmate thumb grip. I’ll post a review on it today – I love it. I’ll check out that Deadcamera strap. I’ve been looking for some more straps to test out. I’ve actually started making my own out of Horween leather as well 🙂
