I realized that the serial number is on an adhesive label, so basically it is technically possible that it is my old lens with a new label. The manual and the pouch are the same. And to be honest, it didn’t look like brand-new when I first saw it. My old lens was impeccable, so it is possible.

I am only speculating.

And when they “repaired” it, it didn’t change anything.

So, I don’t know if this lens works as it should, but it is possible that it has always been the same lens all along, just as I bought it.

@cpXThe new lens is not the same as the old one, apparently. I looked at the EXIF and the serials are different. Also, I found a photograph of my old lens. And in this one the serial was printed in the plastic of the lens. And it also had another text printed in the plastic that is not in the new one.

Would you buy that book? It would be very boring.

The manager didn’t answer my last email. So I am going to write to him again demanding an explanation from someone. Basically I want them to tell me if the lens is working as it should.

First, I have to concentrate on this. And then, if someday I finish this issue, I could write a summary in different forums about my experience with Fuji. I don't think I have enough material for a book.

    • Welcome to the forum. You can also check with your local camera repair store regarding their repair prices. The camera's settings are stored in a memory chip which needs a little bit of electricity to stay active. The capacitor supplies the needed current so you can remove the main battery without losing the settings. On occasion, capacitors deteriorate and stop working. This is a major problem in power supplies for other equipment where the caps reliability is highly debated. Usually they can be replaced and things go back to regular working conditions.
    • My Fuji  XT3 bought new 2018,  spent hours understanding the menu,  Always has a full battery in it Turn on yesterday and all settings all default I was told it is a capacitor or motherboard  ( what?) I have multiple cameras from different  manufacturers that have been sitting for years never had this problem  I hope fuji gives me a reasonable price, because  I love the camera 
    • Hi everyone. Just bought my retirement gift to myself - an XT-5 with 16-50 and 70-300 lenses and cant wait to get started.   Used to be a keen photographer before life got in the way and have continued, albeit with phone, but despite it taking decent photos, I want to move on to the next level. Really excited about to getting to grips with this beast and realise what a steep learning curve I'm on and will be looking for plenty of advice and tips.
    • Hi folks - long time lurker in a bind. My XP2 won't recoginise my Godox TT685iiF unit. I've tried to troubleshoot it myself (modest abilities) without success, then worked with the good folks at my local camera store, again without success. We did try my flash unit on other cameras to confirm it wasn't the flash, as well as trying other new units on my XP2 with no success. The store shipped the camera off to Fuji Canada (I'm in Southern Ontario) where it was promptly returned with a note saying it was 'too old, no longer supported'. Sigh. Has anyone experienced this situation, and arrived at a solution? Any suggestions on how to proceed from here?   MANY thanks in advance!!
