I got the bronze version and when I zoom the lens body in/out, is the plastic clear front lens supposed to rattle, wiggle and turn nearly sidways?

To tell you the truth. this flashlight is made in china with cheep materials, so you get what you pay for.

I have bought two on two different occasions. The zoom feature on both was very tight and worked perfectly. There was not wiggle at all. BTW, I plan to purchase some more as Xmas presents.

Not sure. Mine never worked properly and the zoom function was non-functional.

Mine is in perfect condition. I have several lenses from Tamron and they have all been in mint condition. Return it to them and they should replace.

I smacked mine a couple of times on the side of the lens took an air can and blew in all the cracks and crevices, Put electronic endust on a lens cleaning tissue and forcefully pulled the telephoto lens out gently while pushing on the extension button and wiped it all clean several times. Even ran the tissue a ways into the crevice surrounding the lens. Somehow it started working again which thrilled me since Ehow wanted $176 just to look at it if I would send it in. It still sounds a little scratchy but I will continue cleaning it every use. It sounds like it has a minute piece of sand or something in it. Hope this will work for you.

Hi Gilbert. Thank you for your question. The lens should be mounted on the camera only after you zoom the lens first. Also, you must use a tripod or some sort of stability to prevent shake. Lastly, the image should be of something or someone not in motion. Thank you

Your rear apertures look like an L with say the small peep is on top of the L the close quarter is on the bottom it should flip right up unless there is a defect on your model? The L I am referring to has a tension spring on it and you will hear a snap when engaging between the two, hope this helps.

I had my ELPH for two weeks and the lens cover stopped opening all the way up. I have to use my finger to push the lens cover all the way open. Sometimes it doesn't close all the either. I'd take a refund or exchange if I knew how to go about it.

We have had the same problem with our S9100. Like Mr Braun said, gently wiggling the lense fixes it. This happens quite often with ours; very frustrating!

Jenna, I do not have this issue. There is a slight noise while focusing but not a loud noise. Possibly take to a local camera store to checkout? Good luck. Rich.

mine is ok,but if you hear a noise when you have it on autofocus mode,that noise is normal(its like ka,ka,ka)

Hi there, I use the big ring around the lense, its smoother and moves at your speed only unlike the two other finger button controls.

Sorry, I can't help, I only had this lens for a very short time, not long enough to evaluate noise. I can only say that it did not attract my attention. I suggest that you ask this question in the FujiForum where you will find lots of other helpful and informative topics.

If you are trying to slide it by pushing on the lens itself it wont slide, you have to slide it from where the lens meets the mount, then it should slide, if it still is not sliding, then send it back....

For mine, it does make a noisy sound but it is not too loud while it does the auto focus. I really like this lens though. very sharp!

Mine does the same thing. Not pleased with it at all. It will also come loose form the lens real easy. It just won't stay tightened. Don't know what else to buy. I just quit using it on my tripod. Wouldn't recommend this at all, I give it a 00000000!!

It is not the lens covers rattling, it is the optical element unit inside, could be because of the image stabilization mechanism as Vincent stated, but whatever the part is, I find it impossible to believe that this the way a major manufacturer like Canon designed it. Probably the latch designed to hold it when powered off is broken and not grabbing it. That said I don

Hi bruno, I mentioned a rather stiff zoom ring starting around 100mm and no it didn't get better. I did exchange it and the new copy was better but still a bit stiff, the low light characteristics on the replacement improved just a little bit . This lens for me pretty much spends it's time in a drawer unless I'm going somewhere outside that requires going light and the photo's taken aren't important. It's rarely on my camera.
