Fuji x100 Lens hood
The Fuji X100 is compatible with lens hoods. You will first need to unscrew the front so that the threads can be revealed. Once you do that, simply attach the Fuji LH-X100 and AR-100 hood and adapter ring and you are set.
Please note: You cannot attach a filter directly to the X100 without the adapter ring. You can use the adapter ring by itself and doesn’t need the hood attached always. The hood has a lock-in mechanism and is not a screw type/

How to find the correct lens hood
First figure out what your lens name is, [Manufacturer][Focal length][Max aperture] and put it at the bottom of the first column, this will perform a search. Searching for “Fujifilm XF 35mm f2” will show that the correct size is 43mm.
How to find lenses that accept similar hoods
If you are trying to find a lens that has the same filter thread and accepts the same hoods, punch in the number under the “Hood size” column. This will give you every available Fuji lens that has the same thread. You can also fine tune the results by putting in the manufacturer name to only show lenses from them.
Fujifilm lens hood compatibility
- All Fujifilm lens hoods are compatible with their respective lenses
- Fuji-made lens hoods might NOT be compatible with other manufacturer lenses
- As long as you get the correct screw-hood like you see above, all lenses and lens hoods are pretty much interchangeable, no matter the brand because these use the filter thread.
Why get a lens hood?
If you are reading this article about Fujifilm lens hoods, chances are you are already interested in getting one. But if you are still undecided and wondering if you should get one, the answer is absolutely yes.
The first thing a lens hood does is protect your photos from image-ruinning flares. This is when the sun is at the corner of your frame and there is a streak of light that completely destroys your image.
Not only that it also increases contrast on your images because without a hood, the image might be filled with light making it look a bit hazy.
Lastly, even if you do not particularly care about the image-saving aspects of lens hoods, the simple fact is they protect your lens from lens-breaking shocks. A hood puts space between the edge of lens and the glass, so even if you hit your lens on the front, as often happens with cameras aroud our necks or side, your lens is protected.
