Deluxe Lens Filter Adapter Ring for Fujifilm X100VI X100V X100F X100T X100S X100 X70 Camera Install 49MM UV CPL ND Filter & Fuji FLCP-49 lens Cap,...

Provide thread for 49mm filter, so I can now weather seal my camera. Great machined metal ring with excellent grip/texture. Matches my X100VI silver color! Highly recommend for any X100 series users.

Here's the thing about the X100V: you can't mount a filter - and to get it properly weather sealed you have to use one. Fuji, incredibly, wants to sell you an adapter ring to allow you to mount a filter - a simple metal ring that costs $49 and no one has in stock anyway. So I found an alternative with a third party for under $20 that included an adapter ring and a lens hood - the hood was, of course, optional in use. The problem with THAT solution is that the stock lens cap fell off. All the time. So I bought a cheap black plastic squeeze style cap. But I hate those. THIS, though, allows you to mount a filter AND uses the stock cap. Which does not fall off. Yay. It also looks REALLY close to stock (I have a silver camera and got the silver ring), close enough for me that it doesn't stick out at all as some weird add-on. Criticisms: it could, perhaps be a bit shallower - as in not stick out so much. Also, the cap feels quite tight on this - tighter than stock. Not sure if that's due to the additional depth or that it might be a bit wider (note to self: check with micrometer). While I love it being secure, I have a SMALL bit of concern that the felt on the interior of the cap will be overly compressed and might lead to it being loose on the stock camera with no adapter ring. But that hasn't happened yet - it's just in my head. I'll stop worrying about it and shoot - that way it's off anyway.

I didn't use a filter on my x100f and sort of knicked up the front, so this time, I decided to twy one out. The problem with the x100 is that you can't screw on a filter like most cameras, the threads are on the outside of the lens barrel. Anyway, this adapter has a threaded side to allow you to screw onto the lens barrel and then to screw the filter onto the other side of the adapter. The adapter looks a little thick which it srot of is, but the orginal lens cap for the x100 still fits! Now, there are those adapter that has the filter permanently attached to the adapter, or this type with the adapter a separate peice. This is better because you can attach a magnetic adapter to this adpater and use any sort of CPL, UV, whatever filter you need.
