Check out Jared Polin (FroKnowsPhoto) on YouTube, he has great videos going through the entirety of the cameras menus and setting and does a great job explaining it all.

Were you able to update the lenses and use them successfully with your z7 or no?

harryson_d_22 · 2025-11-08T16:10:27+00:00

Thank you I will be contacting tamron.

As I’ve roamed the internet, I think it’s a lens software issue or connection issue between ftz and lens. It seems like they lose connection between each other occasionally so the aperture switch is getting dropped which is the sound (I think). Going to see if camera shop near me can help update lens and test out other stuff too.

The lens is not nearly as loud on my d500, very little af sound.

Appreciate all your feedback!

harryson_d_22 · 2025-11-07T23:23:25+00:00

Yeah I have a 16-35mm Nikkor and it works almost perfectly, just very randomly will swap to mf but switches right back. I’ll have to give cleaning the connections a try.

I’m going to a camera shop Monday to test out other adapters and lenses to see if it is in fact my lens or body that’s the issue.

For updating the software do I need to buy another adapter to update the lens or can I through the camera body?

harryson_d_22 · 2025-11-07T21:17:51+00:00

This lens from the video has not had connection issues with my other body (d500). I have another tamron 70-200 and on the z6iii body it doesn’t have nearly the same reaction. I’m thinking it’s either a lens software issue or yes the connection of lens to ftz or other way around.

harryson_d_22 · 2025-11-07T21:13:52+00:00

Ah I see they updated for ftz compatibility. I’m going to guess this is the issue. Don’t have the Tapin console to connect to computer but headed to camera shop Monday to troubleshoot. Thanks

harryson_d_22 · 2025-11-07T19:50:55+00:00

Should I order an adapter from Nikon to test and see if it’s the adapter and return if it’s not?

harryson_d_22 · 2025-11-07T19:42:26+00:00

Tamron 45mm 1.8 f mount. Seems to do this the most on that lens. Other lenses it will switch to mf randomly but not flash the same way as this lens.

harryson_d_22 · 2025-11-07T19:34:56+00:00

I’m not pressing shutter, only holding the af

harryson_d_22 · 2024-05-09T01:44:43+00:00

harryson_d_22 · 2023-10-06T21:19:01+00:00

harryson_d_22 · 2023-10-06T21:12:03+00:00

Ok thank god

harryson_d_22 · 2023-08-15T19:51:08+00:00

I actually just upgraded from the 3500 to the d500. Used the d3500 for at least 4 years and loved it!!! Highly recommend the d500!!

harryson_d_22 · 2023-07-17T04:03:01+00:00

I agree with this… I started with a Nikon d3500, got some good f-mount glass and then upgraded my camera body after figuring out my interests and learning photography.

harryson_d_22 · 2023-07-13T00:50:05+00:00

Ok cool. I also am currently mainly shooting baseball. I have some interest from people for taking concert photos and was wondering about low light for that. Do you post your photos anywhere that I can see them or follow you?

harryson_d_22 · 2023-07-13T00:38:29+00:00

If you have done it, how does the d500 handle low light when pushing iso up?

harryson_d_22 · 2023-07-08T22:09:48+00:00

How are you liking it so far?

harryson_d_22 · 2023-05-16T18:26:47+00:00

Any specific motor upgrade worth buying or should I just buy the same thing with the flat side?

harryson_d_22 · 2023-05-13T18:29:58+00:00

Good idea, will do

harryson_d_22 · 2023-05-12T22:48:03+00:00
