Product Information

Full details

The Urth Lens Hood Kit is an essential accessory for Fujifilm X100V and X100VI owners looking to enhance image quality and protect their lens. By effectively blocking stray light, the kit improves contrast and reduces lens flare while serving as a sturdy physical shield against dust, moisture, and impact. While it provides professional-grade protection and optical performance, users should note that the hood design is fixed, which may affect the compactness of the camera when storing it in tight-fitting cases.

FAQs

Can I use this hood with the original Fujifilm lens cap?

The Urth Lens Hood Kit includes its own lens cap designed to fit the hood assembly.

Will this fit the X100F or earlier models?

No, this specific kit is engineered exclusively for the X100V and X100VI.

Does the hood cause vignetting with filters?

When using thin-frame 49mm filters, the hood is designed to prevent vignetting.

Is the material weather-resistant?

The 6063 aluminium alloy is durable, but the hood is not rated as waterproof; it helps protect against light moisture.

Do I need to remove the hood to change filters?

If you are using a thin-frame filter, it can be attached to the adapter ring, though you may find it easier to attach/remove filters by temporarily detaching the hood.

Troubleshooting

The hood feels loose after installation.

Use the dual micro-adjustment screws to tighten the mount until the hood sits firmly in place.

Filters are difficult to screw onto the adapter.

Ensure you are using thin-frame filters to prevent binding or cross-threading during installation.

The hood looks misaligned.

Loosen the micro-adjustment screws, rotate the hood to the correct level position, and re-tighten the screws.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Remove the existing front ring of the X100V/VI lens.
  2. Attach the included Urth adapter ring to the lens threads.
  3. Align the square hood onto the adapter using the twist-lock mechanism.
  4. Use the dual micro-adjustment screws to ensure the hood is perfectly horizontal and secure.

Compatibility

This kit is designed exclusively for the Fujifilm X100V and X100VI. It supports thin-frame 49mm filters which should be threaded onto the adapter before attaching the hood.

Care

Clean the aluminium surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the finish. Ensure the mounting screws are periodically checked for tightness to maintain the alignment.
