I don’t own any Tamron Primes, but do own a Tamron 24-70 F2.8 G2 and a Tamron 100-400, both of them work perfectly on my R5, the eye tracking is smooth on both. I have been advised that some older lenses, like the Tamron SP 15-30 F2.8 (1st Gen), would be needed to be sent to a Tamron agent for...

That is fantastic to hear, it looks an amazing place. I have never been to Greece before, so wanted my first time to be something different from the typical destinations of Corfu / Athens etc. i was also looking at Crete, but it seems that the north of Greece would be better for that time of...

Currently considering Thessaloniki for 5 nights in middle of June as the likes of Kerkini Lake and Axios Delta National Park, look amazing for bird photograph. Also May - July has the best chance of spotting those beautiful Bee-Eaters.

All images taken with Canon R5 and Tamron 100-400. F6.3 ISO 12800, electronic shutter at 1/4000. Heavily cropped and noise reduced in Topaz.

A few images of Birds and a Meerkat that is most definitely NSFW. All taken with R5 & Tamron 100-400, the bird images were taken at 400mm (F6.3), heavily cropped 1/4000 Iso 12800. Electronic shutter. Used Topaz to filter out noise.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I have been doing research and if I change my date slightly or Airport, then I can go with another budget airline with more generous baggage allowances. I have used Ryanair a couple of times and really don’t want to use them again, if at all possible.

Thank you I will take a look.

Unfortunately they are over at 33 x 24 x 48 cm, than, you for the suggestion tho, I will see if there are any smaller ones in the series.

Hi all, I am hopefully going to Montenegro in June and am in need of a new camera bag. Now while I have loved using my Evecase backpack over the years, it is unfortunately too big for the carry on allowance given by Ryanair as standard (40x25x20 cm) Now what I need is something that will hold...

That is really interesting to know as have heard of sone ridiculous file sizes with gigapixel. Now that is great to know as I was concerned that the R6 has a better advantage for venues, I know that noise can be dealt with easy enough through the likes of Topaz & DXO etc, but would be nice to...

Yes you make a good point there, going by some videos and real life reviews, even the prime RF lens which are F8, produce fantastic results at a reasonable cost and word is that Sigma are going to be releasing some RF glass next year, so could be even cheaper still for a reasonable lens. With...

Hi all, since the end of lockdown I have mainly been doing Model, sports & band photography. However in the last couple of months I have had a serious amount of model publications and so now I have decided that I need something more challenging, so have been getting some wildlife practice in at...

Hi all, well today I dugout my Raynox 150 & Canon 100mm 2.8L and attached them to my M6 Mark II, but for some reason all I am getting is a blur, no matter where I positioned myself and through every part of manual focus. I know there is nothing wrong with the lens, as I was able to get this...

Yes it is a shame as it had so much potential but with how cheaply EF-S glass can be purchased, I think that Canon just wanted to concentrate on the RF side of things, in short give people on a budget a taster of mirrorless but for advanced features like Animal Eye AF etc, then you have to buy a...

I originally had the 7D Mark 1 (which I still own) and then when after my Father passed away I bought myself a used 5D Mark III as he used to shoot 35mm film and encouraged me to go full frame, and the 5D has been my pride and joy since 2016, thousands upon thousands images taken. But since...
