I was shooting a video last night and my 55-200 ceased up .. It took about 5 times the effort to zoom out to about 180 mm and then it was easy ..going back in you could hear a grinding sound.. I bought it 14 months ago, so I phoned Fuji Canada.. No problem they said send it in by purolator which they are paying for... Under warranty still
No I didn't get sand on it or anything else.. I am very careful with my gear.. I am not sure if this a common issue or what exactly is the problem.. I imagine it is guide bushings or something like that,there is only so many moving parts in a lens barrel.. Other than that it has been a great lens.. Any ideas on the cause of this failure?
