Nikon AF-S lenses on Fuji
I've just bought a Nikon 24-85mm AF-S ED f3.5-4.5G lens - special offer from Warehouse Express and research showed it looked like the short zoom that would fit the bill. On my D50 it's brilliant [or seems so from the small amount I've been able to try it in the horrible weather!] - zips silently into focus and seems spot on with good detail. On my Fuji S3 it works for about 80% of the time - at other times the AF just does'nt move or I get the green light for correct AF when it's obviously miles out. As you have choice of fully manual AF or Manual/AF it's easy to quickly adjust the focussing but I'd prefer to be able to rely on it. Has anyone else experience of Nikon AF-S lenses on Fuji bodies? Other Nikon fit lenses focus OK - although i'm trying to test properly to see if there's a slight backfocus problem with the camera. A bit of a curate's egg the S3 so far - when it's good it's wonderful -but having already sent one back with a problem the second one just does'nt seem quite as good - perhaps it's me!
