Freewell Fuji X100VI Filter Kit with Lens Hood

If you shoot a Fuji X100VI or older, you've probably had this thought: I want a CPL, I want a glow or mist filter, and I want a proper lens hood. But three accessories on a tiny camera that's supposed to be pocketable? That's not happening. The Freewell Filter Kit with Lens Hood quietly solves all three in one clean set.

What's In the Kit

You get a hybrid 49mm filter that combines a Circular Polarizer and a 1/4 Glow Mist in one piece of glass, plus an adapter ring, a metal lens hood, and a lens cap. Everything you need to upgrade the X100VI in one package, without juggling separate accessories from different brands.

The Hybrid Filter Is the Star

The CPL part deepens skies, kills reflections off windows and water, and gives colors a richness the X100 already does well, just amplified. The 1/4 Glow Mist softens highlights and adds a subtle cinematic glow that pairs beautifully with Fujifilm color science, especially with Classic Negative. Both effects in one rotation means I'm not stacking glass, I'm not losing sharpness from extra surfaces, I'm just getting the look I want with one filter on the camera.

Adjustable Polarization

The CPL element rotates so you can dial in exactly how much polarization you want for the conditions. Light bouncing off the Vltava on a bright afternoon? Crank it up. Overcast Prague morning? Back it off. Simple, fast, and you don't have to think about it.

How I Use It in Prague

The X100 is my city camera, the one I grab when I want to walk and shoot without thinking too much. With this kit on, I get physical protection from the hood, I get the polarization I'd otherwise have to swap filters for, and I get just enough glow to make Fujifilm's already cinematic colors lean even more in that direction. It changes how the camera feels to use, in a good way.

The Honest Part

It's not the flip-design Real Lens Hood from Freewell, so swapping the filter on the fly takes a bit more effort. And yes, you lose some of the X100's pocketability with the hood on. If you mostly shoot with no filter and only occasionally need one, this might be more than you need. But if you're someone who already carries multiple filters or wants the cinematic look without the hassle, this is the cleaner solution.

The Verdict

This is the simplest way I've found to get CPL plus glow plus hood on a Fuji X100 without juggling three separate accessories. For street, travel, and everyday photography on the X100, it earns its place on the camera and stays there.
