I used my Sigma 150/600 on an A6600, very impressive, not far off the Sony 200/600.

Hello Phil, I tapped the lens with my hand and it gradually released. It now zooms back and forth but doesn't lock at 200mm. I have no problems with focus ,stabilisation,or image quality. So not locking at 200mm a small price to pay.

Had the same problem as you, xt3 plus 100/400. I got a a6600 and am using with an adapted 150/600 sigma. Auto focus is so much better so with a 200/600 sony, you will certainly see a major difference.

Thanks everybody, I did do an update on the lens and adapter it does seem better and will get me through until I get the 200/600. Andy.

Hello, until I have the funds for a Sony 200/600 I will be using my Sigma 150 /600 on my a6600. At the moment any auto focus I use seems way off . I know an adapter won't be as good as native, but my Sigma works better on my xt3 !, which considering the Sony has better auto focus is a bit...

Looking at getting a used A9, are there any issues or problems I should be aware of? Many thanks, Andy.

Hello, I am looking for feedback on the Fuji 100/400 for birds in flight with the version 4 firmware on the xt3. Has the update made a big difference in performance? I am currently using a 150/600 Sigma through a Fringer, the only complaints I have are continuous tracking where it is a bit hit...

I bought a Fringer pro ( not 11 version ) to use on my xt3. I am using it with a Sigma 150/600 contemporary. On static subjects it works very well no complaints. The only problem comes with continuous af. In bright light ( a rarity in Cornwall this winter! ) it works ok ish, especially if the...

Hello, have any Nikon shooters used this combo? The 300 will be got for the English winter! It would still be nice to get some more reach if the 1.7 works. Many thanks in advance, Andy.

This might be a strange request, is anybody using a Fringer ef_fx adapter? My copy is running 2.30 software is this the latest version? If anybody knows or is running a different version it would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Many thanks to LC2, in the end I downloaded onto an old windows lap top, firmware 4 now installed! Now all we need is some decent weather to try it out!

Hello, I have tried downloading new xt3 firmware on my Mac. I can't get the software to open, do I need a program for this to work? if not what program opens it on the ois. M any thanks, Andy.

Hello Bumper, first time out missed the icon, PANIC MODE!.I am going out now the rain has stopped see what I can do, thanks again.

Thanks to the people who replied, it was op error! I had somehow set it to sports finder mode doh!

Hello Fujifilm owners. I tried out my xt3 for the first time today and I have some issues I hope you can help me with?. I am shooting in raw and jpeg, but only the jpegs are coming out correctly. The raw files are looking like a 16.9 image and are only 6.33 mp. I tried shooting raw only and I am...
