    Hi,

    Just took delivery of a Fuji XC50-230.

    Lens body seems to be ok (all plastic, as expected) but when I tilt the lens I can hear/feel movement inside.

    Fairly new to interchangeable lenses in general - is this something I should expect.

    It came last week, but haven't had much time to check it out.

    Cheers,
    km

    You could be hearing the IS free floating element moving around inside.
    Do you notice any jerky image movement when using the lens on a camera through the viewfinder at all...or clicks?
