Super coloured images. What lenses did you use, and did you us AF?

Loving the Fuji colors as well! I used an Nikkor 80-200 (single ring) in manual focus

Thanks for droppin' by!

Here are two more photos which I believe I took with a 50mm Nikkor AI lens:

Oh yes, the S5Pro worked well for me too!

I sometimes still miss it.

How do you handle the issue with the lack of new Fuji batteries for the S5?

I read one post which claimed that the Nikon D200 grip with Nikon batteries works but other responders disagreed. Others suggested using the AA battery cage in the grip.

What are your recommendations?

Also if you don't mind an AF question. As you are probably aware, front/rear focus errors are the norm with Nikon and Canon DSLRs, it certainly was with my Nikon D200 which is the basis for the S5. Yet the same lenses focused perfectly on my S2/S3 bodies. How about the S5?

Thanks,

Batteries might be problematic, although you might still be able to get 3rd party batteries. I used my S5 with the battery grip so at least I could fall back on AA cells if I had to. I never tried Nikon batteries, but perhaps D200 batteries in the battery grip might work but I really do't know.

I don't have the S5 anymore but the guy that took it over from me is still merrily using it.

As far as AF is concerned - I never had any issue with back- or front-focus, mine worked just fine. However, the same lenses that I used required some AF tuning on the D700.

Hi guys! Here are some random snaps from my S5 Pro. Will share more soon

Lovely colors! Some would say that even to this day current Fuji cameras still can't beat the old school SuperCCD colors from the S5 Pro.

Yes!:) There's something special in S5 sensor's color rendition

Love those Fuji colors. They remind me of my first DSLR the S1-Pro.

Would love to see the files too!

To be honest, I'm using only one now haha! But it can last for a whole day of serious travel snaps. I really adore S5's colors and for travel documentation, the camera is a wonderful tool!

Actually most of the time I use manual focus (AI and AIS lenses are wonderful) even with my 80-200 maybe because I get to be more precise in that way?
