Looking to get the most out of your Fuji X100V?

The Freewell CPL/GMIST Filter with X100V Lens Hood is the perfect accessory to enhance your shots. This all-in-one solution features a Circular Polarizer (CPL) to reduce glare and boost color saturation, while the Glow Mist filter adds a soft, cinematic touch to your images. The included X100V lens hood not only protects your lens but also minimizes unwanted lens flare, ensuring crystal-clear shots in any lighting condition. Whether you’re capturing street photography, landscapes, or portraits, this kit is a must-have for Fuji X100V users.

Why These Lenses?

Fuji’s built-in lens is great, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. There are times when you might want to:
✔ Capture a tighter portrait without cropping.
✔ Get a wider view of landscapes or architecture.
✔ Shoot stunning close-up macro shots.
✔ Reduce reflections and add a cinematic glow.

Freewell designed these lenses to give X100 users more control over their photography—without switching to another camera system.

How These Lenses Can Change Your Photography

1. Get Closer with the 1.5x Telephoto Lens

If you’ve ever wished your Fuji X100 could zoom without digital cropping, this 1.5x telephoto lens is the answer. It brings your subject closer without sacrificing image quality, making it perfect for portraits, travel, and street photography where a tighter frame is needed.

2. Shoot Both Macro and Wide-Angle with a 2-in-1 Lens

This lens is like having two tools in one:
🔹 Macro mode (2x): Get extreme close-ups with sharp details—great for product shots, textures, or nature photography.
🔹 Wide-angle mode (0.75x): Capture more of the scene in a single frame, useful for landscapes, interiors, and cityscapes.

3. Reduce Glare & Add Cinematic Softness with the Hybrid CPL/Glow Mist Filter

This filter serves a dual purpose:
CPL (Circular Polarizer): Cuts reflections and enhances colors—ideal for shooting water, glass, or bright outdoor scenes.
Glow Mist (1/4 filter): Softens highlights and adds a cinematic, dreamy feel to your images.

Whether you’re capturing video or stills, this filter helps refine light and contrast for a polished look.
