Jack,
Of course I wish you to be more direct, instead of "turning around the pot": I like to know what I am speaking about, not speculating about somebody (in this case you) telling me this or that does not work without background information and clear picture of the situation.
This being said, I can only imagine that there was an issue with the AF mode chosen (spot, center weighted or average), and I believe this issue has been explained and addressed in David's case.
As for your dealer where you tried this out and where you had this problem: it would be nice to know which Sinar dealer this was, that we can contact him and ask about this problem with this body, which I suspect to be an early prototype with the very early firmware: those cameras are from the o-series and should have returned to Sinar. If you feel not appropriate to post the dealer's name here, you can PM it to me, but in any case I wish to know that we can have a look at it.
Thanks and best regards,
Thierry
Thanks Thierry,
I will tell the dealer to contact you directly and that you will correct his camera.
As re David, his camera is still not working in any pattern mode, so perhaps you can contact him directly and get HIS camera fixed for him as it's been inoperable since day one -- I'm sure he'd appreciate your help!
Finally, there is no offense intended here as I'm sure it's a native language issue, but it still sounds like some waffling on the Sinar focus issue in general. For the sake of our readers here at GetDPI, can I ask you to make a firm reply for the record: Is the Sinar camera in its current form free of AF defects?
Thanks!
