Protective Filter PRF-49mm, Silver
The 49mm Protector Filter from Fujifilm is a simple, clear filter with a 1x filter factor and is designed to provide general protection for those lenses as well as any other lens with a 49mm front filter thread. This optically clear filter does not affect the overall image quality while helping reduce dust, scratches, moisture, and other elements from damaging your lens. This filter is multi-coated and features Super Electron Beam Coatings to help reduce flare and improve light transmission.

Fujifilm PRF-49mm Protector Filter — Set It and Forget It Lens Insurance
The gist: Fujifilm’s own OEM clear filter for X100-series cameras — optically neutral protection that takes the punishment of travel so your lens doesn’t have to.
- Zero optical penalty: 1x filter factor means no exposure adjustment; Super EBC multi-coating keeps surface reflectivity at 0.3% or less — effectively invisible in images.
- Featherlight at 10g: Adds nothing meaningful to your X100 series' carry weight while shielding the front element from sand, spray, and fingerprints.
- Dust, scratch, and moisture guard: The first line of defense for a lens that gets cap-off hours on beaches, markets, and rainy city streets.
- OEM fit for X100 series: Designed specifically for X100VI, X100V, X100F, X100T, and X100S — threads on flush without vignetting or incompatible adapters.
Fujifilm’s official spec page confirms the PRF-49 uses the same Super EBC coating found on Fujinon lenses themselves, keeping reflections and flare negligible even when shooting toward bright windows or street lights.
Best for: X100-series travelers who shoot cap-off daily and want the front element protected without touching a third-party filter. Skip it if: You already use an X100 adapter ring with a third-party 49mm UV filter — the function overlaps completely. Runs ~$49 — check the current price before buying.
