ya...original from fujifilm is brown...that one he equip on is not from fujifilm...

if you want protect your lens....hood might help....

extra thing is when you purchase lens hood, it usually come with adapter ring,and it is use to attach filter...

lens hood will block the built in flash but i rarely use the flash so its ok for me as a protection.
i bought my x100 without the original brown leather case. its optional to get it.

im using B+W uv filter with adapter ring. no problem so far. btw, how do u notice it? any sound or crack on the filter?

is ok...

are you using this filter
B+W 49mm XS-PRO MRC 010M Nano UV 49 Filter ??

I'm using the said filter and the original Fuji adapter (not JJC) and no problem so far

said filter??

sorry , cant get it

not sure the same or not
here's what it written on it
B+W 49 010 UV - Haze 1x MRC

thanks for info provided..i'll check it on internet

Went to take a look at x100 limited black edition at boeing photo today, seriously drool haha

That only happened to early adopters where filter adapter for X-100 wasn't release yet back then. With the current adapter, it will give enough travel for the lens.

okok...thanks for clarify my doubt....

Sorry,
I was referring to the B+W filter in your post earlier

With the JCC filter adapter there should not be any clearance issues with the filter.

The only problem with the filter is some strange reflections from the filter especially when shooting into bright lights. Note the presence of the green alien blobs in the photo below:


Definitely caused by the filter as it's not present if you remove the filter. Am using a HOYA UV filter in case you're wondering.

The A&A Strap I prefer is this one:


Lovely red color.... but so $$$!!!!

so far din experience any reflection by the filter.
oh yeah, tat one looks nice too. i think should be cheaper than silk cord.

is ok....thanks for your info

Bro, I am also facing the fliter issue ... any solution for it ?

what filter are you using?

Yes.... Remove the filter when shooting into bright lights. :-)

If there's a filter available that does not cause these blobs do let me know.

does anyone here paste screen protector in front of their x100 viewfinder???
