I had the same with my 18mm, 27mm, 56mm, 10-24. When you are within guarantee. Fujifilm will clean it for free in most cases. Only when the guarantee has expired the change is big you have to pay for the cleaning. Best thing to do in these cases contact Fujifilm directly or the shop you bought the lens.

I never had any problems with the X T1. You can use an protection filter on your lens when you want to play it safe. I always cary a cleaning kit with me. When needed I clean the camera in the hotel badroom. Dry or wet.

Also the fun you have with photography is importent. I don't care what system some one use. It is just a tool. For my self I use mainly the Sony a7rII. Sold most of my Fujifilm gear. Kept the Fujifilm X T1 and Pro1. For me the Fujifilm X system is still a great system to use. Enjoy shooting with the sony more....

Thanks

It is all about respect. Not every one has the same opinion and that is a good thing. So someone does not like the Fujifilm X system. For me it is Ok. I never liked Sony but I considering to switch to the Sony a7r II when it is released. I really enjoy shooting the Fujifilm X system. But I am thinking off ditching Fujifilm for one reason only the lack of QA for there products. I have to many problems with there equipment. Now I have a 50-140 with lens errors that does not work any more. In the past I had also some issues with there QA. All are finally solved but when having a paid assignment it is not fun ;-)

The noise was also when OIS is off and when continuous focusing is off etc. This is a normal behavior of the 50-140. But mine copy it was getting worse and worse. And now its defect This is the third copy that suffers this behavior when I can believe the shop. My personally experiance with Fuji lenses are not that great. First a bad sample of the 10-24 and 2 times 56mm. Think I had to much bad luck with Fuji... really enjoy shooting with it. But I doubt there QA... I tested my lens on the X T1, X M1 X Pro1 all the same behavior and lens errors.

Watermark I do not get it. Why do you want that on a polaroid photo? I use it as a gift to thank people. Not much people appreciate a watermark. I personally also do not like it. You can print your contact info below the photo. This is what I do in some cases ;-) One of yesterday. The little girl was really proud on here photo ;-)

I also experienced the noise on my 50-140. Mine was making more and more. And now I have lens errors It does not work any more. This is the fourth lens I have troubles with from Fujifilm.

Thanks for the comments ;-)

Some evening shots from Amsterdam Taken with the Fujifilm X T1 - 10-24 and 16-55 and the Lee 100mm filters. Used the filters so I do not had to use much post. Simple bring down the highlights and open up the shadows and little sharpening.

The Fujifilm instax Sp1 is a real nice have when traveling. We now traveling through Indonesia and instead of giving money I give them a photo with a personal message. Every one was very happy with this kind of gift showing of to other people. The photos are not high quality but what can you expect from a polaroid ? People are happy when they get this as a gift. ;-) So when you're are traveling to a country like Indonesia, Thailand, India people love to get this kind of gifts On the image one of the people I gave the photo. The photo does take some time to develop. I can't stop looking at it. He was so proud on his photo That all his friends have to see it
