Xpro3 compatibility issues voigtlander 27mm DoF issue


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody,

I use a 2 year old Fuji xpro3 with a voigtlander 27mm f2 lens. 
 

Last summer I had an issue with the on/off switch. It was terrible hard to turn. Camera functioned well although sometimes the evf switch did not react. I send it to Fuji, got a new top plate, new rear screen and recent firmware update. All in warranty. Received no info why all this had to be replaced. I thought it only needed some cleaning as I used it on the beach, in the rain, muddy conditions,….
Took 2 months though. 

Since I have it back I seem to have an issue of compatibility with my voigtlander 27mm lens designed for the xmount system. It has electronic contacts that always worked perfectly and I enjoyed it each time until now. Without touching the focusing tab the DoF scale keeps moving and jumping. Most often it slowly goes from infinity to 0,5m. To clarify: I have the focus ring on infinity, do not touch the ring, look through the viewfinder and see (in OVF or EVF) the lever of focus moving. With it the framelines move as well. When it does this the EVF switch does not work. 
In short the camera thinks I am moving the focus ring. When I do actually move it, the digital indication directly jumps back to its correct place. 
 

I had no issue before the camera went to Fuji. I do not have access to another Fuji body to test if it is the lens or the camera. I tested the camera with a native Fuji lens on manual focus and no issues at all.
However it would be strange to be the lens as it worked perfectly befor repair and it was just sitting on the shelf until I got the camera back.

 

 

thanks for feedback, experience, probable software settings that I need to check. 

 

Greetings Bert
