When I use the rear command dial of the x-pro2 to set the aperture with the XF 55-200 nothing happens... Does anybody have the same issue ?

 

(The lens firmware is up to date and the rear command dial is ok to command the aperture with the XF 27mm pancake)

it is not on "A". I'm trained to use this lens with my X-T1, no issues until I use the lens on my X-PRO2.

If I recall correctly, you have to set the aperture to A and then you will be able to change it with the back dial.

sorry guys (darknj, DIS Ottawa), the 55-200 doesn't have an aperture ring and if you want to set your aperture manually it's not on the A position !

 

Did someone try the x-pro 2 with the 55-200 to answer me ?

 

The Fujinon 55-200 R LM DOES have an aperture ring, that's what the R stands for, it's just unmarked since it's a variable aperture zoom. 

 

The ring is located right below the zoom range marking.

 

Oh and also the A switch.

Thank you darknj ! I should use this lens more often ! the XF 27mm is now an addiction to me (no aperture ring for this remarquable lens).

 

Watch out for consistency in your posts ;]

 

You either know how to use the lens, or you don't. If you don't know, that's fine we all have to start from somewhere. But writing that you know about the lens from your X-T1 and wondering how to use it on the X-Pro2 sounds awfully weird to me.

 

Anyway, glad to have helped out ! :D

I had the same issue when I first tried the 55-200 on my XP2, use the aperture control ring (nearest the lens mount) to change the aperture and it works fine.  It took me a while to get used to it as there are no visible apertures but once you have used it a couple of times it is fine.

 

I think it is purely the lack of visible apertures that causes confusion, the ring does have detents indicating aperture changes and is positive to change and move through the full range.

 

Odd but it works!

      Please Advise On Broken X-a5 Shutter

      Please Advise On Broken X-a5 Shutter

      By Gotham · Posted

      Somehow my shutter fell off my X-a5. On Amazon, there are a number of camera shutter buttons for Fuji cameras. My first thought was that I could just purchase one of these and be ready to go. But after checking these out, it appears that these shutter buttons are for cameras with a screw hole in the shutter button and the X-a5 doesn't have this kind of shutter and even if it did, the shutter is gone.  I called Fuji and they wouldn't even discuss it or accept my photo above to view it, they said I had to send it in which I'm not ready to do. One more update... I just stuck a pin through the center opening of the small center hole and the shutter activated and took a picture. Seems like there could possibly be something to attach there, like a replacement release to remedy this. Based of my explanation and what you can see on this scan, can someone advise me what I need to purchase or what I need to do to resolve this? Thank you.

      Are you certain the spot is on the inside and not some small amount leftover from the spot you cleaned? Maybe try a different brand of lens cleaner, but make sure it is safe for lenses so that the lens coatings are not removed. Even weather resistant lenses can get dust inside, the seals can only keep out so much dust and zoom lenses are known to get dusty on occasion. More so than prime lenses do. Weather resistant means more sealing, but achieving perfect sealing is tough to get. It is also possible the dust has been there from the time it was manufactured and you are only now noticing because of the white dot. Does the dust show up in any of your photos? As far as cleaning cost goes, your local camera repair shop will be able to give you some estimates, prices will be different depending on where you are.
