NiSi 498422 UHD UV Lens Protector for Fujifilm X100 Series

For Fujifilm X100 series shooters, lens protection is a genuine dilemma — the fixed-lens design means a scratched or damaged front element is a costly repair, but a poor-quality filter can undermine the lens's renowned optical character. The NiSi UHD UV Filter addresses this directly with 99.3% light transmittance and a Pro Nano Coating engineered to behave as though the glass isn't there. It blocks UV wavelengths below 365nm to reduce atmospheric haze in outdoor work, while the hydrophobic coating keeps rain, coastal spray, and fingerprint oils from turning the front element into a lens diffusion filter mid-shoot. The black frame is color-matched to the camera body, preserving the clean aesthetic that makes the X100 series so visually distinctive.

Installation is straightforward on most X100 bodies, but X100V and X100VI owners need to remove the camera's standard mounting ring first — skip that step and the filter won't seat correctly. Once installed, the filter sits low-profile and secure. The scratch-resistant coating provides meaningful protection against the everyday hazards of camera bag life — keys, lens caps, and accidental contact — without adding measurable optical compromise. For a compact travel camera that goes everywhere, this filter represents a sensible investment in protecting what is ultimately a fixed, irreplaceable optical system.
