Does look soft in the edges.Really starting to lose patience with this camera
After the awful front focus issue on the 70-200 i can't get over how poor the Tamron 24-70 is as well. Yesterday was lucky enough to experience some incredible light in the lake district which should have produced stunning images.
On first look this seems ok but even without cropping you can clearly see what a smudged mess the right side of the picture is. This should be tack sharp edge to edge yet is miles off and not even at its widest (38mm / F11), using a D7200 + Sigma 17-50 my images were razor sharp edge to edge.
Yes these are not Nikon lenses but for a 'professional' body it's compatibility with 3rd party lenses seems appalling.
So both lenses i own for this camera have significant floors......great

Not the camera, but clearly the lenses?
From my own experiences, I've had a couple of Tamrons and they've been very good. Had major issues with Sigma in the past (pre-Nikon) but bit the bullet with the 135 Art and it's perfect. Never had a problem with a Nikon lens, so, you pays your money and takes your chances. If they're still under warranty, send them back.
Do they fit the bricks?
I think they do a FE version, imagine eye-AF on that
Was on a tripod so shutter shouldn't be a huge factor but was 1/500th. Will have focused on the reflection in the water about 1.3rd in.
I quite fancy a 70-200 and looked at the Tamron as cost wise they’re pretty good value. Might think differently now.I’ve had 2 Tamrons and sent them both back. Just not up to Nikon standard.
Don't need those gimmicks, it'll make you lazy. I hear the mkVI is going to be marketed as a point and shoot with just an auto mode.

The other thing is when you spend big and buy a Z6 or Z7 it appears Tamrons are not compatible with the ZTZ adapter.
As others have said, you could get a good copy or a bad one. I have a Tamron 17-50 which I use with my D90 and it is very sharp, on the other hand I had issues with the Tamron 28-75, even after it had been to Tamron.
So if buying new make sure you test them thoroughly, not sure if I would buy one used again.

Au revoir.
You'll be back.
Enjoy your new toy.
Nah, game changer for me this mirrorless stuff. Never been happier shooting with it.
Might've stayed with Nikon if the Z6 had been a better offering for weddings, but by the time they've released a new one now, Sony will have taken another step ahead. Still don't have any bad words to say about the D750 though, still think it's the best value all-round DSLR for the money.
True about the D750 - I still might stick with Nikon! Glad its working out for you though!

For me it's the shooting through liveview more than anything to be honest, lets me get angles I couldn't before plus engage with my clients better rather than hide behind a camera.

All down to what's best for each individual, as opposed to which is the better camera.
Dumb question, i was just about to buy the FoCal, is it worth getting the pro or just stick with the plus?For me it's the shooting through liveview more than anything to be honest, lets me get angles I couldn't before plus engage with my clients better rather than hide behind a camera.

Also, does it come with a tether cable, or do i need to buy one separately?
Those are most certainly very tangible benefits. AF in LV on the 750 is the weakest element, which I've been frustrated with many times.

Oh, did it come with a cable, can't remember getting one, must be in the box stillDo you have any lenses over 400mm, if you do then you need pro otherwise the standard one is fine.
I just use the cable that came with the d750, as you just download and install focal from their site.
You might be able to order it as a kit from wex.
What lenses did you plumb for Andy?
