Really, I didn't expect such irresponsibility from Fuji, I am not hyperbolic; I say this because the XH1 freeze/close down way too often. It may happen over 5 times in 3 minutes (and certainly I use only the original batteries). Fuji OUGHT to had fix this through a proper firmware update.

Milandro, thanks for the link. There's been some debate around this issue in the net including other brands using same technology too. Search function is a fine idea in most cases (especially when you have the time and calmness...).

apologies for having arrived belated, however the need for some immediate/direct advice does not imply particular wish for a discussion; do not confuse them

SewellDK, thanks for the input. Sounds strange so much wobbling ( I own 3 other Fujinons and are rock solid) but it is OK. Just found a good description of this here: http://admiringlight.com/blog/review-fujifilm-fujinon-xf-90mm-f2-r-lm-wr/

Hi all, A few days ago purchased the Fujinon 90mm f2; looks a very nice piece of glass as documented. However, today during my first serious acquaintance with the lens I see that as the lens is tilting front to back something inside is respectively dangling freely back-forth. It is located about a bit front of the center of the lens barrel the movement is of several mm and makes a gentle/low bumping noise. I can see the move through the lens glass and looks like it is a lens element because the magnification of the opening circle (the diameter) when moving slightly changes. When I mount the lens on the XT-1 it keeps doing the same dangling when camera is OFF, BUT when the camera is turned ON it stops and from this moment nothing is moving. It is solid. The lens AF works OK. I think this is not normal, even though the lens seems to work now (but do not know how long it will last). So I would appreciate any piece of advice could get on this situation. Unfortunately the lens was not purchased from a store near to me but a relatively big European e-shop through mail. Best regards, Giorgos
