Product Information

Full details

The Urth Lens Hood Kit for Fujifilm X100V and X100VI is an essential accessory for street and travel photographers looking to improve image quality and protect their fixed lens. It is designed for users who want to minimize lens flare and gain the ability to use standard 49mm filters on their X100-series camera. While it provides excellent protection and visual flair, the square hood design is fixed and does not collapse, which may increase the total footprint of the camera slightly when stored in tight pockets.

FAQs

Is this hood compatible with the Fujifilm X100F?

No, this kit is specifically designed for the Fujifilm X100V and X100VI models.

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

No, the original lens cap is designed for the stock lens ring. You may need to use a standard 49mm push-on cap.

Does this block the built-in flash?

At close focusing distances, a large lens hood may cast a small shadow when using the built-in flash.

Is the material weather-sealed?

The aluminium is durable and resistant to moisture, but it does not provide electronic weather sealing for the camera body.

Can I stack multiple filters?

It is not recommended, as stacking filters will increase depth and likely cause vignetting.

Troubleshooting

The hood is not perfectly horizontal or aligned.

Loosen the dual micro-adjustment screws on the mount slightly, adjust the hood to the desired position, and re-tighten the screws firmly.

The hood feels loose after installation.

Ensure the 49mm adapter is fully tightened against the lens body before locking the hood in place.

Dark corners appear in images (vignetting).

Confirm you are using a thin-frame filter; thicker filter rims can obstruct the wider field of view of the X100 lens.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved contrast by reducing stray light flare
  • Adds protective layer against physical damage
  • Allows usage of industry-standard 49mm filters
  • High-quality 6063 aluminium construction
  • Matches the aesthetic of Fujifilm X100 cameras

Cons

  • Cannot be collapsed for compact storage
  • Requires micro-adjustment for initial alignment
  • Adds slight length to the lens profile

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first remove the decorative ring from your X100V or X100VI lens housing. Screw the 49mm adapter base onto the threads of the lens. If your hood is not perfectly level, use the provided dual micro-adjustment screws to fine-tune the alignment until it sits flush and square. When using filters, ensure you use 'thin-frame' models to prevent potential vignetting. To care for the kit, simply wipe the aluminium surface with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. If you are shooting in dusty environments, check the threads periodically to ensure no grit has accumulated, which could make removal difficult later.
