Fuji S2 Pro with Sigma 15-30mm

Tristan Hall said:

I would like to know if there is anyone out there who has
experience with this combination. It come to my attention that the
camera has a general habit of not focusing on the exact point as
marked in the viewfinder (confirmed by Popular Photography in the
test of many of the autofocus systems found in todays SLR's), but I
am concerned to the extent that it is evident on this combination
and the surprisingly great lack of depth of feild unless stopped
down to f/8 for portrait work.
I wish to know if there is any one else who has noted this. I have
sold this lens to numerous D60&D30 users and not to mention
countless film shooters, but this is the first time I have seen
this style of result as it would seem. If you could help with any
information or experiences of a similar nature please let me know.
