X Pro1 Lens mount question

[derekfulmer]

Hey everyone,

I received my new to me X Pro1 and 35mm 1.4 lens today. I'm really excited about it, but I have a question. It appears as though there's some slight play in the lens mount. Is this normal? Isn't there always some amount of lateral movement/wiggle due to the design of bayonet lens mounts?

there is the tiniest bit of play on both my xp and xe...no lens has fallen off yet though...😉

Thanks for the reply.

My Canon camera's did that, especially with a 17-40, 24-70, and 70-200 lens attached. My Nikon's did it, but it wasn't as pronounced. I bought the camera and lens used from B&H so I was a little concerned.

it's a great combo...it took me a bit of time to learn to use it well though...normally i'm not bothered by new gear but the fujis are truly unique.

here, no play at all. its tight tight!

Only if I apply some real pressure, which I try to avoid🙂

That's what I was doing. Nothing extreme but enough to make some movement.
