Overview

The Neewer 10102286 is a UV protection filter designed from the ground up for the Fujifilm X100 camera family — X100 through X100VI — rather than adapted from a generic filter diameter. The optical glass carries 30 nano coating layers applied to both sides, delivering 99.8% light transmittance that allows this filter to live on the lens permanently without shifting your exposure or introducing color cast. That coating stack also handles the practical realities of street and travel photography: water beads cleanly off the front element, fingerprint oils don't bond to the surface, and light contamination clears with the included cleaning cloth rather than smearing. On modern digital sensors the UV filtering itself is a secondary benefit — the primary value here is as a sacrificial front element that takes the dust, scratches, and bag scuffs so the camera's own glass does not.

The anodized aluminum frame is available in black or silver to preserve the X100's rangefinder aesthetic rather than disrupting it with a conspicuous attachment. One installation detail that matters: X100V users must remove the camera's standard mounting ring before threading the filter on — the instructions cover this, but it is easy to overlook on first install. The included lens cloth and filter case make this a complete kit rather than just a bare filter, and the case earns its place in a camera bag as storage when the filter is off the lens. For X100 series shooters who carry their camera everywhere — the defining use case for these cameras — this filter is lightweight, optically transparent protection that keeps irreplaceable glass intact across years of daily use.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Purpose-built sizing for the Fujifilm X100 series eliminates fitment uncertainty that comes with using generic-diameter filters on these cameras
  • 30-layer double-sided nano coating makes the front surface water-repellent, oil-proof, and anti-fingerprint — reducing how often the element needs cleaning during documentary or travel work
  • 99.8% light transmittance means the filter can stay mounted full-time without impacting exposure or color accuracy
  • Available in black and silver anodized aluminum to match the X100 body color without a cosmetic mismatch
  • Aluminum frame is engineered to release cleanly — won't seize on the mount after extended use

👎 Cons

  • Requires removing the mounting ring on X100V and X100VI before installation — an easy step to miss that prevents the filter from threading on correctly
  • The included filter case is functional for storage but offers minimal padding against hard impacts in a packed camera bag
  • Despite the nano coating's durability, a sharp physical impact can still crack or chip the optical glass — the filter sacrifices itself so the lens doesn't have to

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — this is the critical installation step. On the X100V (and X100VI), you must remove the standard mounting ring from the camera body before threading the filter on. Skip that step and the filter will not seat properly. On earlier X100, X100S, X100F, and X100T bodies, it threads on directly without any removal step.
The 99.8% light transmittance rating means optical impact under normal shooting conditions is negligible. The multi-coating is specifically designed to control flare and ghosting, so this filter is built to stay on the lens full-time without compromising image quality.
Yes. The anodized aluminum frame is available in both black and silver finishes, allowing the filter to match your camera body color without appearing as an obvious add-on.
The 30-layer nano coating makes the front surface water-repellent. Raindrops bead up and are easier to clear rather than spreading across the element. Combined with the oil-proof and anti-fingerprint properties, the front element stays cleaner longer during outdoor sessions.
The package includes the UV filter, a lens cleaning cloth, and a filter case. Keep the case in your bag — it is the right storage solution for the filter when a different filter is on the camera.
