Fuji 55-200mm & Xpro1 Help Required

[Darren Turner]

Really need some help guys & girls Having issues with this lens it works fine & as it should when using Lcd & digital view finder at all focal lengths, but when i use optical view finder the focus rectangle box that you use to frame the shot and turns green when focus is achieved ( sorry dunno its correct name ) its ok at 55m but as soon as you start to zoom the box doesn't move & get smaller as it should, its turns red instantly just from the zoom, don't even need to touch the shutter button.

really hard to explain sorry please bear with me & i hope this make sense

Any or all help would be greatly appreciated.

your explanation makes sense. i think i remember reading fuji recommends you don't use ovf with this lens past 55mm. that's why it turns red on you.

Sounds like a pile of s**** to me, stick it in a box and send it to me for further evaluation....

I think @Darren Turner didn't pick up on your level of desperation there @Kev Pugh

blatantly ignoring @Kev Pugh sarcasm

No sarcasm from me Bach, just a kindly old man (minus 1 kidney as I have just returned from Chester with my XT-1), who would be more than happy, nay delighted, to check your lens.

Send it well wrapped in tenners and I will have it back to you in a jiffy.

(I think it is supposed to do that but will confirm on receipt of your lens).

Archie and Evie have quite a pile of s**** in a box ready for despatch. Cash on delivery OK by you?

No offence Darren, but it works superbly well on my old X-E1, all the way.
