I rarely use autofocus, but am accustomed to using the focus-assist on the F5, which I find wholly reliable and safer than my slightly dodgy eyesight. However, the equivalent on the S2 is, unsurprisingly since it's based on a cheapo body, a disappointment, flaky & erratic: it hunts all over the place, flickers on & off, etc. I'm still not producing consistently sharply-focussed results on the S2, though it's easier with a 105 Micro than with the 35-70/2.8 or 24mm, perhaps because of this lens's higher contrast.
