I’ve got to say, the build quality is pretty solid. The metal lens hood feels sturdy and definitely adds that extra layer of protection I was looking for, both from scratches and stray light. I also love that it matches my camera’s colour (I have the silver version), so it blends in nicely, unlike some other brands that just don’t look right.

I really like the included UV filter—it’s a nice bonus, and the multi-coated glass does a solid job at cutting down reflections and keeping dust and water off the lens. Plus, the magnetic design for stacking filters is super convenient! If you’re into using extra filters, it makes swapping them out so much easier.

One thing I love is that this kit works with all the Fuji X100 models, which is super handy if you happen to own more than one. But just a heads up—the hood does block the optical viewfinder a little and can cast a shadow on the built-in flash. It’s not a big deal for me, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind if you use those features a lot.

Getting the hood lined up just right can be a bit tricky. The thumbscrew they use to secure it feels a little long and awkward, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it bends if you’re not careful. The only real downside for me is that the UV filter doesn’t work with other standard filters unless they’re part of the K&F magnetic system. So if you already have a bunch of filters, you might feel a bit restricted. Oh, and you do have to remove the original mounting ring from the camera to install it, which is a bit of a hassle, but nothing too crazy.

Overall, despite a couple of small annoyances, this kit totally does its job—keeping your lens safe and making your images pop when it’s super bright out. It’s not flawless, but honestly, it’s a solid pick for folks with a Fuji X100, especially for the price. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to throw some handy accessories into their gear!
