Wow!  Never heard of that!

The lenses are built like a rock into the camera.  The film
gates are of course rock-solid.  I cannot imagine what could be
causing this problem.  

Unless if Lynn is looking at tight close-ups.  The S1 does not
have a built-in stereo window.  Any picture will require some
shifting of the chips to set the proper stereo window and this
becomes more noticeable in close-ups.  The camera can focus as
close as 0.6m (about 2ft).  A close-up at this range will
require a 7p mount for sure.  If that's not the problem, then a
close examination of the camera is highly recommended.

Say "hi" to Lynn from me...
