Fujifilm 16-80 Lens Focus Problem Fix

October 25, 2019

Fujifilm 16-80mm lens video focus problem (where it wobbles while zooming in and out) has a possible solution that was just discovered.... in this channel's YouTube comments of all places! While not perfect, this workaround does help reduce the focus distortion issue in the lens while zooming in manual focus. This affects both the X-T3 and X-T2 cameras.

After making this video, I had a real craving for some Gummy Bears. LOL, these are my favorite: https://amzn.to/2WcowAC. Just sayin.

While I can confirm this solution works with my particular lens on my camera setup, there's always the possibility it will not work for you. Please test and use your lenses with caution and never assume anything on lenses for client work.

Very special thanks to Vijay Kumar Raju Penmetcha for suggesting this idea. You ROCK sir!!!!

BTW, I just picked up this sign (Recording in Progress): https://amzn.to/2WcU21s. If you have a home studio or need to tell the world to BE QUIET AND DON'T BANG THE DOOR OPEN, this is the awesome sign for you!!

Get the lens here: https://amzn.to/31Iz7oh
