Must-Have Accessories Fujifilm X-T20 / X-T30

A list of all the best Lens Hoods, Screen Protectors, Cases, Straps, Thumb Grips, Soft Shutters, and more. For the Fujifilm X-T10, X-T20 and X-T30.

These are the accessories I use on most of my cameras that also work great for the X-T20 and X-T30.

Fuji X-T20 / X-T30 Screen Protector

The Fujifilm X-T10, X-T20, and X-T30 all use the same size screen protector. Although the X-T10 didn’t have a touchscreen protector made exclusively for the X-T10 may have issues with the new cameras. However, all the latest screen protectors are backward compatible which is what I’m listing here.

I highly recommend a screen protector, I’ve already scratched a few of mine pretty badly and if it wasn’t for the protector my rear screen would be scratched. 

There are a few types of screen protectors, Glass, Crystal Clear, and Anti-Glare. Glass screen protectors are the toughest but the corners and edges will eventually start to chip over time. Anti-glare screen protectors are nice for outdoor shooting, but they do degrade the image clarity just slightly.

Fujifilm X-T10, X-T20 & X-T30 Batteries

There are a lot of options for third-party batteries for the X-T20 and X-T30. There is also a new version of the NP-W126 battery called the NP-W126s that you will see in the X-T20 ad X-T30.

This is the new & more efficient battery which allows more current to be drawn without raising temperatures. These batteries have a completely different discharge profile than the older model. These are the batteries Fujifilm is shipping with their cameras now.

Best SD Memory Cards For The Fujifilm X-T30, X-T10, X-T20

The X-T10, X-T20 & X-T30 cameras use UHS-I SD memory cards, nothing special here.

Fuji X-T20 & X-T30 Soft Shutter Release

Fujifilm did something cool on the X-T30 & X-T20. They’ve allowed for a soft shutter release.

These are awesome and I use them on my X100V, here is what I use.

Lensmate

Available at: Amazon

Lensmate makes a nice soft shutter release because it includes a little rubber washer that sits between the shutter release and the camera. This reduces vibration so they are less likely to fall off.

I bought the Red Lizard but check out more options here at Amazon

Thumb Grips

Lensmate makes the best thumb rest for the X-T20 and X-T30.

I bought these for all my cameras and couldn’t live without them. I have larger hands and they dramatically improve the ergonomics of the camera. I highly recommend it.

Fujifilm X-T10 / X-T20 & X-T30 Metal Hand Grip

Available at: Amazon

If you need some extra grip for the X-T30 (which you probably do) this is a nice addition to the camera. The big complaint with the X-T30 is it’s small and light. This will add more weight, size, and grip to the camera making it feel better in the hands. 

I was using one of these on my X-Pro 2 for a little while. They are built well. It’s made of metal and is solid. But it does add a bit of weight to the camera compared to some of the wood or synthetic grips by JB Camera Designs.

Camera Straps

Leather Camera Straps

I’ve been on an eternal quest for the perfect leather camera strap.

So far I’ve found that LeicaTime makes the best leather strap. They can’t be beaten. Those Italians, have a gift with leather. I know his site seems shady and 3rd world but I can assure you his products are not! He is 100% legit and makes the best leather products for cameras you’ll ever see.

Tap & Dye make a decent strap. LeicaTime might be better for the price.

Hard Graft – Hardgraft.com I’ve been using the Re-Process strap on my XT1. It’s amazing.

Fujifilm X-T20 & X-T3 Lenses And Lens Accessories

Fujifilm Lenses

I keep an updated list of all the available lenses that can be easily purchased for Fujifilm cameras.

See the Fujifilm X-Mount Lens List.

Fujifilm 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 from real macro lenses that still have infinity focus.

Cleaning Supplies

This is the basic list of camera cleaning supplies, essentially must-have items.

Check out my guide to cleaning your camera sensor for more great accessories and cleaning tips.

6-Pack Magic Fiber Cleaning Cloths

Available at: Amazon

Having enough microfiber cleaning cloths is essential. Eventually, they collect body oil, dirt, grease, and no longer clean lenses efficiently. If you shot a lot near water your clothes will go bad even quicker. That’s why I recommend the 6-pack.

Rocket Air Blaster

Rocket Air Blasters are essential. They’re great for cleaning lenses and UV filters or even the sensor between lens changes.

Rocket Air Small: Amazon

Rocket Air Medium: Amazon

Sensor Brush APS-C

Available at: Amazon

Sometimes when the Rocket Air isn’t cutting it and you need to clean the sensor on your X-T20 or X-T10, the cleaning brush is one of the best ways to go about it. I carry one of these in my camera bag whenever I travel.

Fujifilm X-T20, X-T30 Camera Bags

I’ve been using the Mover 20. It’s been nice if you just have one lens the Mirrorless Mover 10 should work as well if you keep a smaller lens mounted to your camera

Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 10

Available at: Amazon

The Mirrorless Mover 10 is great for carrying an extra lens, or just the camera with a small lens, like the 27mm or the 18mm. These camera bags are nice because they come with a magnetic closing flap but also a durable zipper. Mine have held up for years.

Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 20

Available at: Amazon

You can carry the X-T20 in the Mirrorless Mover 20 with a medium-sized lens like the 23mm or the 35mm and have room for an extra medium-sized lens. It also comes with a magnetic closing flap and a durable zipper.

Fujifilm X-T20 & X-T30 Accessories Conclusions

The Fujifilm X-T20 & X-T30 are excellent cameras that have received a lot of praise and have a lot of great gear available for them. With just a few accessories, you can improve the comfort and usability of your camera, as well as protect it from wear and tear for the years to come.
