Fuji GS645S 'bumper' problem

[mcgrattan]

Hi,

I have a Fuji GS645S - I pulled it out of my shoulder bag the other day to discover that the front cow-catcher/bumper section had pulled away from the body. There's around 2mm of play now and a small gap between the square plastic surround with the bumper on it and the base of the lens mount and body.

The lens mount is still solid - it's only the surround and the bumper that seems loose.

Can I just glue it back down? I assume that is how it was attached already?

If so, what sort of glue should I use?

Some kind of epoxy? cyanocrylate [Krazy Glue/Superglue]?

I'm surprised it came loose. I don't abuse the camera. Perhaps the bumper caught on the bag as I lifted it out.

Matt, I don't know... The bumper on mine wiggled a bit and the corner of the square bezel nearest the VF window was separated from the body. It turned out there were broken plastic parts in the lens mount. This was fixed by CameraWiz in Harrisonburg VA,

Thanks for the reply.

Tthat wasn't what I wanted to hear I assumed it was just the square bezel that was loose.

Hmm. I'm based in the UK so will need to find a repair place here.

I'd surely ask a repair tech who is knowledgealbe about this camera, since it's possible you have a repair issue... though perhaps not as serious as mine. I seem to have truncated the phone number above... Here's the contact info again:
