An Interesting behavior - X-T4 and 16MM f1.4

[f8lee]

So I discovered this this morning...

I shot an event on Saturday, taking my X-T3 and X-T4 and some fast Fuji glass. Turned out the 16MM f1.4 lens would not auto focus on the X-T3 though it was fine on the X-T4.

Well, today I learned that this was my own fault - I had inadvertently pulled the focus ring backwards to disengage the auto focus clutch, so that answered the question as to why it didn't auto focus on the X-T3. And I have to thank the tech at Fuji - I called this morning to ask about this and he asked if the focus ring was disengaged...

But - and here is why i am posting this here - that same lens set the same way DOES auto focus on the X-T4! It's as if the X-T4 body just ignores the setting on the lens - and that was something the tech (and the other ones he asked about it) never had seen before.

So those of you with that combo - give it a try - it's just odd.

Strange.  My 16 1.4, and mt 23 1.4 BOTH focus on my XT1, 2, and XH1 whether the clutch is engaged or not.  Did the rep explain why that is?  I'm curious
