Hello fellow X100* users. I purchased an X100T in September 2016, and while out on a walk a few weeks ago, the front ring around the lens that has the words "fujinon aspherical lens Super EBC 23mm..." disappeared. I honestly can't find it even after I retraced my steps. Well, Fuji won't cover it under warranty because I don't have the part, but that's for another rant at another time.

 

I need to know what this part is called / part number so I can find one and order it. It's the part in this picture, and it's apparently something that can come off the lens.

Also, if anybody has one of these that you're willing to sell, please let me know. It looks really ugly without it. I've got a UV filter on it to keep the dust out, but I'd really like it to look normal again.

Wow sorry to hear that but just wonder how can this happen? You knock your camera?

I wish I knew! I have no idea. I think I lost it on a photo walk, but I've never dropped the camera. It has a lens hood on it *normally* which makes this even more infuriating. I only noticed it the next time I went to use the camera. FujifilmUSA wants $447 to fix it. I'm guessing they're selling the whole lens assembly.

So I ended up having to order an entire lens assembly from China. It cost me $109 and took a month to get here. That part...well, it's affixed -- from the factory -- to the front of the camera with double-sided tape. So FujifilmUSA wanted to charge me $400 to replace a piece of sticky-backed decorative metal. Crazy...

Glad you find the replacement. I always have my len filter on all the time because len is one of the most expensive "part"  of a camera.

But I never thought a sticky decorative metal need $400 (actually $109 I also consider a lot :-)). Anyhow beside the dust inside the view finder, I think X100T still serve me well...

Why do you call it a "len"? I'm asking because you seem to do so consistently in your posts. It's something I've seen in forums off and on over the years and never quite understood.

      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.
