Re: Fujifilm 16-55mm Lens Mount Issue No Longer Connects to Camera

My first thought, to verify whether you ARE crazy or not [g], involves close scrutiny of the lens locking pin on the body (could it be catching a screw?). There are 7 screws to tighten at the back of the lens, but only one on the mount itself, I think, could interact with the pin. Try mounting with the lens release pressed.

The next thought is to request photos of the lens' mount from various angles, as well as the mount on the camera, to help assess what you're encountering.   In lieu of that, you might closely scrutinize that lens' mount to compare with another that mounts with no issue.
