I pulled my X-Pro2 out of my camera bag and discovered the rubber eyecup has a tear in it. This surprised me. I went to the Fujifilm USA website to see if I could order a replacement eyecup. They did not have one listed.

I then called them and talked to a nice lady named Kelly, who then contacted a repair tech after I explained the issue. The tech wanted me to ship the camera back to them so they could "repair" the camera. They also wanted to charge me $180 for the "repair" plus labor. I said that was totally insane to charge me $180 for a $15 eyecup you can replace in 5 seconds.

I just removed the eyecup and super glued the split eyecup back together. It works fine now but of course it's not new looking anymore. I'm disgusted with this "repair".

I'm a new XPro2 user, read up plenty about the eyecup.   Apparently, what some outfits in the  Fuji distribution network are doing is replacing the entire eyepiece assembly, along with the eyecup.  You can get a replacement on Amazon, a pair for about $12-15, by JJC.  Dunno how good they are, and folks report those popping off too, so its a definite glue-job to have it stay put.

I will say that my recent XPro-2 seems to have a really "hard rubber" eyecup ring, with very little give, and I'm hoping it lasts.   I might have to get a bit improvisational if it doesn't.

Maybe check with Fuji in your geographic area (aka N.A., various European areas, etc) to see what they're replacing, and to see if the cup has indeed been "improved".

I purchased the replacement eyecup from Amazon and it looks and fits just like the original. However you need to keep an eye on it when you remove the X-Pro2 from your bag. Mine came off so I'm extra careful now.

I had the same issue about two years ago, where I went to get my X-Pro2 from my bag and found my X-Pro2 missing its eye cup.  A call to Steve at the Edison, NJ repair location fixed the issue.  He just mailed me a replacement cup at no charge.

      ISO and exposure dial’s misbehaving. Need help

      By Michaelb5 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help.

      Remote Release suddenly stopped working

      By FSND · Posted

      I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?

      OVF magnification

      By Rich Martin · Posted

      On my XPro 2 the rear command dial, when pressed, can cycle through 3 different magnification levels in the OVF.
