Fujifilm X100V Accessories

These are the official Fujifilm accessories for the X100V, by model number, plus the third-party options that do the same job for less. Most of them also fit the X100VI, which is useful if you upgrade.

The X100V was succeeded by the X100VI in February 2024, so this list is written for people who already own one. It covers the parts worth having, the traps (like the lens cap that stops fitting), and where a cheaper version is fine.

Memory card for the Fujifilm X100V

The X100V takes a single SD card and supports the UHS-I standard, not the faster UHS-II. A V30 card (rated to sustain writes of at least 30 MB/s) of 64GB or more covers everything it does, including 4K video. A UHS-II card works, but only at UHS-I speed, so you’d be paying for speed the camera can’t use.

I’ve put together more detailed recommendations in the best SD cards for the Fujifilm X100VI and X100V, which covers both cameras. Here are some quick picks.

USB cable for the Fujifilm X100V: Charging & data transfer

To connect your Fujifilm X100V to a computer, and for some charging operations, you’ll need a USB cable.

The X100V has a USB-C (USB Type-C) connector. You’ll need a cable that can transmit data as well as power (some only transmit power and are marketed primarily as charging cables; make sure it also mentions data transfer).

There are various configurations available depending on the length of cable you need and the connector on the other end of the cable (i.e., for what you’re plugging it into).

Most computers have Type A USB connectors. Some of the newer laptops only have a smaller USB-C connector. So you’ll need to check the device you’re connecting the camera to.

Battery & power accessories for the Fujifilm X100V

• Battery: NP-W126S
  • The Fujifilm official battery isn’t cheap but does have the advantage of being officially supported by Fujifilm as working with the X100V. You can also pick up much more cost-effective aftermarket versions, which can be excellent alternatives.
  • One caution with cheap batteries: some knock-offs claim to be NP-W126S cells but lack the internal temperature sensor. That can lead to wrong charge readings, sudden shutdowns and, in the worst case, a swollen battery stuck in the slot. Buy third-party batteries from a known brand. The NP-W126S is the same battery the X100VI uses; my Fujifilm battery compatibility chart shows which other Fujifilm cameras share it.
• Battery Charger: BC-W126S
  • Again, there are various aftermarket versions that can offer good value. Find them under the same model number.
• AC Power Adapter: AC-9V
• DC Coupler: CP-W126
  

Remote shutter release

• Remote Shutter Release: RR-100
  • This is a cable shutter release with pretty basic functionality. It doesn’t include a timer or intervalometer. (For intervalometer / time lapse functionality, take a look at the aftermarket JJC shutter release.)

Lens accessories

• Telephoto Conversion Lens: TCL-X100II
  • This is a dedicated telephoto conversion lens that magnifies the view by 1.4x and converts the field of view to the equivalent of a 50mm lens (in 35mm equivalent). So it’s basically the same perspective as the classic nifty fifty lens on a full-frame or film camera.
• Wide-Angle Conversion Lens: WCL-X100II
  • This is a dedicated wide-angle conversion lens that broadens the X100V’s original lens field of view by 0.8x to offer the equivalent of a 28mm focal length (in 35mm equivalent), which is a classic street photography and photojournalism focal length. It attaches to the built-in lens, which does add some bulk and weight. It’s available in black or silver.
• Third-party wide-angle conversion lens: Viltrox WCL-X100VI
  • Despite the name, Viltrox lists the X100V as compatible, and the camera detects it and sets its Conversion Lens setting automatically. It’s a cheaper alternative to Fujifilm’s WCL-X100II. I’ve written it up in more detail in Viltrox WCL-X100VI wide-angle conversion lens.

To fit any conversion lens, you first have to remove the front ring (or the adapter ring, if you’ve fitted one).

• Adapter ring: AR-X100
  • The X100V’s lens has no standard filter thread. The AR-X100 screws onto the thread hidden under the decorative front ring and gives you a 49mm filter thread. Fujifilm’s manual says to fit it before the hood or any filter.
• Protector Filter: PRF-49 / PRF-49S
  • Honestly, there’s no particular reason you have to get the Fujifilm model. Any good 49mm protector filter does the same job.
• Lens hood: LH-X100
  • The lens hood is an unusual design that is good for both providing protection against stray light as well as protection against knocks and bumps. It comes with an AR-X100 adapter ring in the box, so if you want the hood, you don’t need to buy the ring separately.¹ You don’t have to buy the Fujifilm version, though. I’ve used the B&H Vello aftermarket version and really can’t tell the difference, aside from it being far cheaper. For the hoods that fit other Fujifilm cameras, see my lens hood compatibility chart.

The adapter ring and filter are your weather seal

The X100V isn’t weather resistant as it ships, because the front of the lens is an open path for moisture and dust. With the AR-X100 ring and a 49mm filter fitted, it is: light rain, splashes and dust, not a downpour.² Any decent 49mm filter on the AR-X100 or a compatible third-party ring does the job. The X100VI works the same way.

Your lens cap won’t fit anymore

The metal cap that comes with the camera fits over the front ring, which you remove to fit the adapter. Once the ring is on, use a 49mm lens cap on the filter instead, and keep the front ring and original cap somewhere safe. A pinch-style cap is the easiest to use.

Camera case for Fujifilm X100V

You can obviously use just about any camera bag for the X100V. There are some excellent street-style messenger bags that make for good options (like Domke’s messenger bags (I’m a big fan of these) or these from ONA), but any there’s nothing specific about the X100V that requires a specially configured camera bag.

But Fujifilm (and some third parties) also make an old-school leather case that fits snugly around the camera and can remain in place (with a flip-down top section) while shooting.

• Leather Case: LC-X100V

Grips

• Grip Belt: GB-001. This is a hand grip / wrist strap that attaches to the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera.
  
• Thumb grip: A thumb grip slides into the hot shoe (the flash mount on top) and gives your thumb something to hook onto, which makes the camera much easier to hold one-handed. The downside is that some block the rear dial or buttons. I’ve covered the trade-offs in pros and cons of a thumb grip. The X100V and X100VI bodies are similar but not identical, so check that a grip lists the X100V specifically before you buy.

External microphone

• Stereo Microphone: MIC-ST1
  

Flash

The X100V has a small built-in flash. For more light, Fujifilm’s manual lists these shoe-mount flashes:

• Shoe Mount Flash: EF-X500, with the optional EF-BP1 battery pack
• Shoe Mount Flash: EF-X20

Two newer Fujifilm units also work with the X100V: the EF-60 shoe-mount flash and the EF-W1 wireless commander. They came out after the X100V’s manual was written, so it doesn’t mention them, but Fujifilm lists the X100V as compatible on both product pages.

Because the X100V has a leaf shutter (a shutter built into the lens), flash syncs at shutter speeds up to 1/2000 s, which is unusually fast. Fujifilm’s manual also warns not to use a third-party flash that puts more than 300 V across the hot shoe, which rules out some older flashes.³

If you’re looking at aftermarket versions, be sure to pick up one that is specifically compatible with Fujifilm’s system if you want automatic (TTL) flash exposure; others will usually work only in manual. For instance, there is an aftermarket version of the wireless commander by Nissin.

If you upgrade to the X100VI

Most of this kit carries over. The X100VI uses the same NP-W126S battery and BC-W126S charger, and its manual’s accessory list also includes the AR-X100 ring, LH-X100 hood, PRF-49 filters, WCL-X100 II and TCL-X100 II converters, GB-001 grip belt, RR-100 release, MIC-ST1 microphone and even the LC-X100V leather case.⁴ Check thumb grips individually.

Frequently asked questions

Do X100V accessories fit the X100VI?

Most do. The battery, charger, adapter ring, hood, filters, conversion lenses and leather case are all on the X100VI’s accessory list. Check thumb grips individually.

What filter size does the X100V take?

49mm, with the AR-X100 adapter ring (or a third-party equivalent). The lens has no standard filter thread of its own.

Is the X100V weather sealed?

Not on its own. It needs the AR-X100 adapter ring and a 49mm filter to seal the front of the lens.
