Got the lens back from Tamron two weeks ago, all operations seem to work well.

Yay!

The repair cost was $250 + shipping. If parts were available, I think I can easily fix it for cheaper, just a few broken ribbon cables and the outer plastic case.

Not a bad price.

Also asked Tamron about the 2-second delay on start up (vs 1-second for Fuji lenses) on X-T2 and X-T20, they said it's performing within specs. Since I don't plan on upgrading bodies anytime soon, I guess I'll have to live with that for a while

So far, this 17-70 is now my primary daily, replacing the 18-55 and 18-135, pairing nicely with the 50-140 on the other body.

Good to hear that you like the 17-70/2.8. Sigma 18-50/2.8 was rumored to be coming for XF mount, but it's not here yet.
