[slow autofocusing with the Fuji 50mm f2 near the MFD]

Hi,

I am considering buying the Fuji 50mm f2, which generally has had excellent reviews: very sharp, good microcontrast, close focusing ability, fast autofocus, light weight, relatively inexpensive, etc.

However, some users have reported that the autofocus was very slow close to the minimum focusing distance. Have others also experienced this problem? I have read about a similar problem (focus hunting) on the Fuji x-forum, which was attributed to Fuji's 3.0 firmware update, in which the problem was resolved when camera was returned and the 2.1 firmware was installed. Regarding the focus hunting problem, it was mentioned that Fuji knows about this problem, which will be resolved in a future firmware update. Should I wait until this problem is resolved or do most people think that this is a permanent problem.

Thanks

Hi,

I purchased an XT-3 about 6 weeks ago and am generally very happy with it. However, in examining the screen settings menu, I found that the "preview pic. effect" option does not appear for some reason. Does anyone know why this occurs and how to rectify the problem?

Thanks,

Steve
