Update - the vendor contacted Fujifilm and organised to swap the lens over within a couple days, so I'm very happy with it.
I should point out, there's still some "marks" on the finish of the inner metal rings. They're like swirls in un-mixed paint. That's the best way I can describe it. There's nothing wrong with the lens, but it's a little surprising. Anyway, I'm quite happy!
