...I almost posted this in the Preview: Fujinon XF 16-89 thread because Innsbrucker posted that he has a 55-200 lens he is reasonably happy with...
...I took my new X-T30 on it's first outing today...
...with the 55-200 lens I was discouraged by a noticeable shift and clunk each time I used the zoom ring...
...I did not notice this with the 18-55 lens...
...they both had the same amount of play in the mount but the 18-55 didn't move when I used the zoom ring...
...besides being annoying I am concerned that the constant movement will wear and further loosen the fitting...
...I can see this would not be an issue with prime lenses...but I don't have any...
...the Q button was a minor annoyance, that I am already adapting to as is, but the clunky X mount has me considering the return of this system...
...the slight clunking does quite the job of undermining the vaunted tactile qualities of this camera, IMHO...
