While the x100v is a fixed-lens camera rather than an interchangeable lens camera, you can purchase screw-on add-on lenses. The wide converter yields a 28mm view (versus the camera’s native 35mm-equivalent focal length), while the tele converter yields a 50mm-equivalent focal length. I use the wide converter much more than the tele converter as the latter is more bulky, but it would be useful for someone that really likes doing head and shoulders portraits.

the x100v also has some digital tele settings that simulate a longer lens quite well (50mm and 70mm with the native lens; 72mm and 100mm with the tele converter lens attached), these work better than I expected and are simpler than having to crop the image later. Historically you had to be shooting JPEG-only to use this feature, but now it works with RAW shooting, as well.

If you want to use all the regular XF and XC lenses, you will need one of the Fuji X interchangeable lens bodies:
