Which Simplr strap should I choose for my Fuji X100 series camera?
No camera in recent history has inspired us quite like Fujifilm’s X100 Series. From the original X100, introduced in 2011, to today’s evolved X100VI — photographers love its tactile controls, stellar optics, unmatched color science, and versatility (especially with purpose-built TCL and WCL conversion lenses).
Ultimately, the strap you choose for your X100 is a highly-personal decision — but we have recommendations, based on your carry and shooting style. Now let’s get to the use-cases…
Modern Traditionalist
If your preference leans toward “traditional” neck and sling carry — but appreciate the featherweight toughness of modern, mil-spec materials — you’ll love our F1ultralight on your X100. No other camera strap possesses its combination of rapid-adjustability, packability, and light weight. Compared to other 3/4″ (19mm) wide camera straps, the F1ultralight is in a league all its own.
Minimal to the Max
Prefer to carry your X100 in a jacket pocket or remain stealthy as possible while shooting? Our W2 wrist strap is the ultimate exercise in minimalism. Strong enough to carry any camera, with a deceptively small form factor barely bigger than a phone lanyard, W2 bucks the mystifying trend of ever-bulkier wrist straps — some taking up more space than an X100!
Ready for Whatever
Don’t dismiss our F1 as a “normal” camera strap made for larger cameras. Introduced nearly a decade ago, F1 was designed to be the perfect companion for then-emerging smaller mirrorless cameras. To this day, a Lug Mount F1 could be the best choice for you and your X100.
Part of X100’s appeal is the ecosystem which includes both wide and telephoto adapter lenses. These converters transform the X100 from 23mm to 18mm or 35mm — at the same time transforming the X100 into fairly hefty chunk of glass and metal (X100 + TCL = heavier than Fuji X-Pro + 35mm F2)! It’s nice to have the extra support of the F1, vs F1ultralight or W2, to carry the extra weight of conversion lenses.
Want the flexibility of a neck strap and wrist strap — without having to carry both (plus the bag you’ll need to carry whichever one isn’t on your camera)? F1 converts to a capable wrist strap in about 15 seconds.
