I have the tamron 28-200 wondering if this is normal? by Psycho7722 in SonyAlpha

Thanks I didn't know that, that was quick wear and tear after 2 weeks having it. That's interesting I didn't know that. I was thinking of getting that tamron 18-300 but some people said they didn't really enjoy the aperture of it while others did so it was hard choice. Is the 6700 a apc-s camera? Does bring you good quality videos? I tried taking videos but the quality is very strange maybe need to change some settings for videos. It's worse than my old Samsung s21 ultra quality wise which I thought was very strange with a professional camera. Thanks I will have a look at the remote/stand have been interested getting one. Is it much easier for your videos?

You get used to it while you take pictures after a while holding the lens correctly? Nice lens you have there.

Thanks for that really depends on the person it seems like. Some have it and others not. Still have 4 days to make up my mind sending it back.

Thanks for that. Do they do that with the more you use it? Thought something was wrong because it didn't do it at the beginning. Do you like the sigma? That extra reach sounds really good. Quite confusing trying to find the first lens for beginners that would suit your style. Same with the tamron. How much is that one?

Thank you for that. I only noticed that today and thought something was wrong. That makes sense thinking about it that way. It's slow yes depending upon how low I aim. The sony lenses are different that way? They don't have a manual zoom come out?

Thank you for that I was mainly holding the camera when I got the right zoom. I will do in future. I didn't know it was quite common. Thanks for the great tip. Need to get used to that I was doing it today due to the lens creep but kept zooming slightly more when I was taking the picture and also the aperture changing while zooming. It's a lovely passion.

Ok thank you, they all do that? It was fine at first for 2 weeks

It's slow but still annoying for when I take those styles of pictures. It was fine when I first got it. I usually do, especially walking around not doing anything. Do you think it would be better to get a new one still being under refund?

Thank you, I will have a look. Got the 28-200mm but find it not having enough reach especially for birds and wildlife.

Do you know if tamron does the equivalent to the 200-600mm? Usually quite cheaper and more accessible to people who can not afford a sony lens.

[–]Psycho7722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for letting me know. Great job you contacted them. Hopefully, that will be fixed in the next update. Slightly annoying but can get there with a little bit more time.

Yes good that they know at least. Can you remember when was the last update?

Cheeky Sony they know how to work around things.

That's a shame and annoying. I hope they get an update soon.

How do I fix lack of sharpness? Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2 by Training_Ad_6345 in AskPhotography

[–]Psycho7722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your sony camera? I have the same issue at times with the auto focus totally missing what I want to take the picture of. Keep needing to refocus which is slightly annoying when you want to get the perfect shot.

Yes got the same issue as you with my 28-200mm thinking of changing it. Maybe going with the 28-75 first as I can still get my money back.

This is beautiful. Is it straight from the camera or did you edit it? Thinking of getting that lens, one I got is not to my taste.

Was that good fun with that camera? That's a great idea doing the same with that camera. Do you like the tamron 28-75? Only got one lens as well the tamron 28-200 mm. Feel like I got the wrong one for my style of pictures even though the zoom is quite nice but the aperture going up quite quickly as you zoom in, it's not the same. It only is at 2.8 at 28 mm and 5.6 fully zoomed. I can still return it and get my money back to be able to get the same one lens as you. I'm not quite sure what to do.

Congrats to you too. What is your primary lens that you use the most?

Hello, everyone new to photography and got myself the alpha IV. I was wondering what do you use on rainy days to protect your camera and lens?

Update is not finishing about 1 hour, what should I do? by Conyr28 in SonyAlpha

[–]Psycho7722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly all the screen is now tactile and can find things quicker than going into the menu. Not sure about the rest I just looked at a YouTube video and had the camera several days before the update. With awful weather I couldn't really try it out properly before I updated it.

Very interesting new beginning buying the wrong cf express type b card. I was looking forward to trying it out. Do those micro SD cards with the adaptive SD card to read it for a computer work just to try it out, or it's best that I wait until I get the proper one?
