[PRODIG] FUJI S2 hooray, more problems!!

[Mark Lawrence]

(regarding tony harrisons comments) "So far, impressed but finding it difficult to get the focus right - autofocus sensors seem to be off, and the finder image is so small that focussing in dim light is tricky."

I have used our S2 on a few shoots now and although initially impressed, some of the the observations stated (as above) from other users are unfortunately sounding familiar...

The auto-focus is really not up to the job at all, fortunately the first time this became crucial, it was just a matter of switching to manual and was not a problem and I did a dumb thing and forgot about it...

Then a juicy celeb pap shoot came up at Heathrow 3 am and the S2 may as well have been a pinhole camera.

It refused to focus at all, and because of the dim light conditions, I could not even switch to manual (It felt as if looking through the viewfinder was 2 stops darker than ambient light) . I ended up having to race back to the car and shoot on a F100 backup on neg and go through hell getting scans to wire out etc etc

Fuji have said they will have a look and get it sorted so we will see what happens....

Has anyone else experienced anything like this as fuji claim I am the first person to have mentioned this ( ha ha ha good one fellas)
