  For about three years, it was known that precision spectrophotometry with
FORS2 suffered from systematic errors that made quantitative observations of
planetary transits impossible. We identified the Longitudinal Atmospheric
Dispersion Compensator (LADC) as the most likely culprit, and therefore engaged
in a project to exchange the LADC prisms with the uncoated ones from FORS1.
This led to a significant improvement in the depth of FORS2 zero points, a
reduction in the systematic noise, and should make FORS2 again competitive for
transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets.
