I broke the lense on one just like it and could not find a replacement so bought this one just for the lense.

You may be able to buy one, but Tamron won't give you a warranty. Amazon should take it back if defective. Believe you have 30 days, but check. There is really not much that can go bad on a lenses, it either works or it doesn't. Mine was used, and it works fine.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Do you live somewhere really cold? Mine had sat on my doorstep for a while in zero degrees Fahrenheit. Cold can weaken a battery as I'm sure you know. That's a possibility, or maybe the lenses/lens covers are dirty? Try looking at the beam from different distances also. PS don't be shy about sending it back for a replacement.

One of mine became stuck on the lens and I worked it loose using slow but firm pressure. With the lens still attached to the adapter, you might have a little more leverage. A camera repair person might anchor the camera in a vice and dislodge the adapter with a screw driver and hammer...but VERY, VERY carefully. It's not something I would try unless you are really comfortable around tools. Wish I could be of more help.

Your sensor might be dirty - this requires professional cleaning. The battery would have nothing to do with it. Your lens might be set to MF (manual focus) on accident too!

I'm not really sure of that? Try contacting a seller of Nikon first and then I'd contact Nikon directly via the web. They would probably sell you some replacements at a minimal cost?

Sorry, I don't know where you can replace that. My problem was with the rubber switch which eventually fell inside the housing and when I tried to remove the lens cap, it ended up breaking as it is apparently not removable. One down, one to go.

I know they sell them for a few bucks. Could it be loose in the gear mechanism? You could always return it too back to Amazon

Good news, guys. I called Fujifilm and they're sending me a new lenscap. Turns out the girl I spoke to in the Parts Department had the same camera and knew of the problem firsthand. The camera is awesome, but I'd advise getting rechargeable batteries, because it drinks juice.

Yeah. They come off. The lens was spotless. It holds up to 450 fps at 20 ft

The lens has never been dropped and it has not been exposed to water. I am including the hard case with the lens. To be honest, I wrestled for a long time if I should sell this lens or not. I no longer shoot sports photography or do I shoot wildlife photography. I have a family and feel selfish keeping an expensive lens I use occassionally now. I am shooting more photojournalism than anything else. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I noticed this in one of mine as well. HCO Customer Service responded quickly: "The filter in front of the lens is supposed to be floating around when it's not powered."

This is a new lense I got. As far as the warranty I don't have an answer for that. My lense has been working perfect.

When disconnected or unpowered, the optical stabilization elements do shake/rattle inside of the lens. When mounted to the camera and the camera is turned on the shaking/rattling ceases. This is the only lens I've encountered that has this "feature."

Yes - you must buy a new lens cover. I bought one that also included an elastic strap that slide over the lens and with a cord and double-sided tape connector for the lens cap so that you can take it off and let it hang and not lose it. Sorry I don't remember where I got it.

Mine got bent and now opens partially then I open it with my finger. Took it to canon and they said it's not covered. Couldn't repair it either b/c lens cap is part of the entire lens. Offered me a refurb for 550. I said no thanks. Still using it but it's a pain.
