Set up your X100VI with the LC-X100V leather case and PRF 49S protective filter. Follow these steps to avoid fit and filter-thread mistakes.
Quick answer
Attach the PRF 49S filter using a 49 mm adapter ring before fitting the LC-X100V case, and check that the case does not press on the filter. This order keeps the lens protected without straining the case or the filter thread.
Why the order matters for the X100VI
The X100VI has a fixed lens, so every accessory you add stays on the camera. The LC-X100V case is molded for the X100V body, and the PRF 49S filter screws into a 49 mm thread. If you fit the case first, you may not be able to reach the filter thread cleanly, and a thick filter can make the case front feel tight.
A protective filter is not the same as a filter adapter. The PRF 49S has a 49 mm thread, but the X100VI lens needs an adapter ring to accept it. Use a dedicated adapter for the X100VI, not a generic step-up ring, so the filter sits at the correct distance.
When the LC-X100V case is the right choice
The LC-X100V is a precision-fit leather case for the X100V. It offers splash-resistant protection and keeps controls accessible. It is a good everyday case if you want a slim, classic look and do not need to change filters often. If you often use a filter, check clearance before relying on the case as your only protection.
The case is not designed for the X100VI specifically, so fit is close but not guaranteed identical. Test the case with the filter attached before you take it out for the day.
Step-by-step protection setup
- Attach the 49 mm adapter ring: Screw the adapter ring onto the X100VI lens thread until it is snug. Do not overtighten; the ring should sit flat against the lens front. If the ring does not sit flush, stop and check that you have the correct adapter for the X100VI.
- Mount the PRF 49S filter: Thread the PRF 49S onto the adapter ring. Turn gently until it stops, then check that the filter glass is clean and centered. A filter that wobbles or sits at an angle means the adapter is cross-threaded; remove and refit.
- Test the LC-X100V case clearance: Fit the LC-X100V case over the camera with the filter attached. Open and close the case front and check that it does not press on the filter rim. If the case pushes on the filter, do not force it; use the case only when the filter is removed or choose a different protection setup.
- Check controls and lens movement: With the case on, turn the camera on and try the shutter, exposure compensation dial, and focus ring. Make sure nothing rubs or blocks. Any resistance when turning the focus ring is a sign the case is too tight with the filter fitted.
- Clean and store: Before storing, remove the filter if the case will be packed tightly. Use a blower or soft cloth on the filter and case lining to avoid grit scratches. A small scratch on the filter is cheaper to replace than the front lens element, so check the filter regularly.
Product facts
- Fujifilm Schutzfilter PRF 49S: This protective filter has a 49 mm filter thread and a Super EBC coating. The 49 mm thread matches the adapter ring you need for the X100VI, and the coating helps reduce reflections while protecting the front element.
Fujifilm Schutzfilter PRF 49S - Fujifilm Kameratasche LC-X100V Schwarz: The LC-X100V is a precision-fit premium leather case for the X100V with splash-resistant protection. It protects the body from light rain and bumps, but its X100V-specific fit means you should check clearance around any added filter.
