It's funny that their comment is based on the 55-200mm. This was the only zoom lens with a complete mechanical breakdown that I've ever experienced (jammed zoom ring). The 16-50mm felt like the 55-200mm prior of the jamming ( zooming produced a click noise in the middle range ).
The 18-135mm has no proper zoom stop at 135mm (two samples).
A higher decentering ratio compared to other manufacturers.
There's also the famous rattling when "shaking" a Fujinon (some of them) - although you may argue that those lenses could have a 2nd use for making music or something ... chakka ....
As mentioned no repairs - just exchanges - what does that tell me ?
I, for one, always start praying when buying a Fujinon (also Tamron, Pentax - I gave up with Tokina).
