Hi,
A very clear Click sound can be heard when turning the zoom ring
I would like to know if this something common or if i should be worried
The lens came with a X-T1 i just bought second hand.
The noise can be heard on this little video

Thank you
Welcome to the forum Fxt1.
That's strange IMO. My copy produces no noise when zooming in and out.
Can you return the lens? I would not accept that. Of course this possibility depends on your conditions of purchase.
Should this be ruled out, you have three options IMO:
- Test the lens (decentering etc) and if there is no apparent impact on IQ, just live with it and hope it'll remain functional for a couple of years,
- Send the lens to Fuji repair,
- Disassemble on your own and try to figure out what it is and try to fix it. There is one forum member, yukosteel who is very skilled and publishes super interesting disassembly reports. Here it is: Disassembly – Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 OIS lens
