I hadn't heard about the firmware update yet so thanks for the heads up. When I did a quick Google search for it I found a fuji rumors article about the FW update which FR says is a beta firmware and the comments section is filled with people saying it bricked their lens and had to restore the original FW. You didn't have any of those issues?

It seems most if not all of the "bricking" was due to pushing the update with a mac platform, instead of a PC. The suggested fix that seems to work, is to update the lens with an intel machine after going back to FW 1.0.0.

Thanks for that info. So, use a Windows machine and it should work fine. Maybe I'll give it a try.

If anyone happens to try the update via Windows and can confirm it's just a Mac issue that would be great. I just wanted to be sure that's the issue before going through the trouble of tracking down someone with a PC.

I did the update on Windows 11. Had no issues.

I also made sure to have the original firmware at hand just in case.
