This is an old thread but it seemed there was some doubt that eyepiece wear was an issue with the x100v.

Here's my eyepiece after 18months. The rubber has worn away so much that the metal beneath it is coming through. In my case I wear glasses so I can imagine it wears much faster than for people who don't but I still find it pretty disappointing. I'm risking scratching my glasses using the camera now.

I had the original x100 for ten years before this and the rubber never wore away.

I have an X-E4 and an X-T2 with three primes. I was planning to sell my X-T2 and one of my lenses, but with all of the quality and reliability complaints I keep seeing posted here and in other Fuji forums and groups about the X100V and X-T4, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about keeping the X-E4 instead of the X-T2.
