I noticed an oily mark in the middle of my lens and realised it was the cap making contact. I could not believe such poor design and wrote to Fuji about it. They replied to say they were not aware of the issue, that's all they said.

I resolved it by buying a simpler lens cap that had the "pinches" at the edges, rather than in the middle.

So I'm not the only one! Whether the lens cap caused my scratch or not, I'm definitely uncomfortable with the fact the cap makes contact with the lens. Surely that means that any bumps to the lens cap are also bumps to the lens. I'll look into buying a new one.
