Protective Filter PRF-49mm, Silver

Fujifilm PRF-49mm Protector Filter — Protect Your Investment Between Client Shoots

The gist: The OEM clear filter that keeps your X100-series lens damage-free through daily professional use — replace a $49 filter instead of a $600+ lens element.

• Optically neutral: Super EBC multi-coating achieves surface reflectivity of 0.3% or less — no color shift, no flare, no sharpness loss in final deliverables.
• Low-maintenance protection: A single fingerprint wipe is easier on a filter than directly cleaning the lens coating — reduces risk of accidental scratching between gigs.
• 1x filter factor: No exposure recalculation needed; leave it on permanently and shoot as if it isn’t there.
• OEM fit, zero gaps: Purpose-built for X100VI/V/F/T/S threads on cleanly without the wobble or vignetting that generic 49mm filters can introduce.

Fujifilm’s official product listing confirms the PRF-49 uses the brand’s own Super EBC coating technology, the same coating standard applied to Fujinon X-mount lenses.

Best for: Fujifilm X100-series shooters who use their camera on paid projects and can’t afford front-element damage between gigs. Skip it if: You keep a lens cap on between every shot and shoot in controlled studio environments only — the risk profile doesn’t justify the spend. Runs ~$49 — check the current price before buying.
