The Fuji X100 series is one of those rare cameras that blends vintage charm with modern performance. It’s a favorite among street photographers, travel enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates compact power. But as versatile as it is, one limitation remains—you’re stuck with a fixed 23mm lens.
That’s where Freewell’s lens and filter lineup for the Fuji X100VI and X100V steps in. Whether you want to get closer, go wider, or add creative effects, these add-ons are designed to push the boundaries of what your Fuji X100 can do.
Why These Lenses Exist
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.
Important Things to Know Before Using These Lenses
Compatibility matters – These lenses are designed mainly for Fuji X100VI and X100V, with some working on older X100 models.
Installation is key – Using the included adapter rings ensures proper alignment and sharp results.
Handling and storage – Like any lens, they need proper care to maintain image quality. Store them in protective cases when not in use.
Final Thoughts
The Fuji X100 series is already a powerful camera, but it doesn’t have to be limited by a single focal length. Freewell’s lenses open up new creative possibilities, making it easier to shoot in ways that weren’t possible before.
Whether you want a tighter crop, a wider perspective, or a unique glow effect, these tools let you adapt your camera to different shooting styles—without compromising its signature quality.
If you’ve ever thought, “I wish my X100 could do more,”—now it can.
