Received my lens back from Fujifilm 1 week ago, took it out yesterday to prep for a trip this coming weekend, and I noticed several specks of dust behind the front glass.
Wondering whether this is normal and I should accept that some specks of dust are inevitable.
A little background to my whole experience... I first sent in my lens for repair after a trip to Europe in late March, I had damaged my front lens thread and could not remove my filter. After charging me $100 for repair and another $150 for the replacement parts, I received the lens back after a length 2+ weeks wait only to discover to my horror that they had fit the front end wrongly, so the hood now screwed in at a wrong position. I emailed them and they sent an technician down to collect my lens for me to rectify the error. It took Fujifilm another 2 weeks to rectify the error. When I next received the lens, they had forgotten to turn on the aperture blades, so twisting the aperture rings did not change the aperture at all...
Had to send in my lens for a third time to Fujifilm. Now this is after the 3rd repair. I noticed the specks of dust behind the front glass as I mentioned above.
Is this completely normal or acceptable?
