Must have accessories for the Fujifilm x100vi

I have had my FUJIFILM x100v for about 4 years and it’s my favorite camera for personal work. I love its compact design and baked in recipies so I dont have to edit. I usually shoot raw and jpeg so I have the baked recipies AND the raw if I choose to edit. The camera fits in most small bags I carry but is not a true pocket camera. Its a fixed 23 mm which I love for street photography or to capture my family in a beautiful landscape. My current favorite film recipies are reggaes portra and newspaper by Kevin Mullins. Eternal summer is also so fun during Beach or bright summer colorful conditions. The main improvement with the x100vi over the x100v I hear is the image stabilization for video and video quality. My new goal in the year is to mess with video more so I can report more on that soon.

My main complaint about traveling with the fuji x100v is the battery life, number one accessory is buying at least one extra battery like this. I LOVE shooting this camera at night or in low light with a soft mist filter, I mostly use this one. I dont have this thumb grip but I want it, I do wish I had more grip on the camera, I'm also interested in the front grip but I worry it would make it too bulky. I keep this leather case on my camera to protect it from bumps and dings PLUS it gives a retro look I love.

I decided to blog about the camera after several friends asked my opinion about it, please let me know if there is anything I forgot! I dont go into technical specs as it’s listed everywhere else.
