Is anyone else’s 150-600 sometimes a little reluctant to AF? Sometimes I have to give the manual focus ring a nudge before much happens and then it seems fine.
I'm a bit late to this and no help I'm afraid Graham but thought I'd mention that the first one I bought had this problem.
Fortunately it was under a month old, had it replaced and had no issues since
Have you managed to get the problem sorted?
Just ordered, so prepare for loads of questions soon
Will be using on Sony A7 III with MC-11
Have these lenses dropped in price of late ?
I sold mine a while back and got a 200-500 but have just seen a 150-600c for sale near me mint condition 400 ono
Come to this thread looking for any users that are using the lens with the teleconverter TC1401. Here is my issue I have two canon 80D bodies and when I use the teleconverter on either body is lowish light the lens just hunts and never locks focus. I am aware that light plays an important part with trying to use a lens at F8 in low light but my fellow togger and I were out yesterday he with same lens combo and TC but with a Nikon D300 and his lens body combo performed so much better than my lens combo constantly locking on focus on the same subjects (Avalon Marshes bird photography)
Focus without the TC fitted was exactly the same, focus on bird lens locked focus take the shot and no issue
Is it possible the TC could be faulty?
Last year I sent the lens back under warranty as the lens had severe back focus the Focal software could not correct
Since I have had the lens back Focal set the adjust at -4 and +4 at wide and tele ends I am at a loss for how poor the lens performs with the TC attached
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Doubtful that the tc would be at fault here. There’s no moving parts. I’d expect it to be camera related.
Had this combo on my D500, still hunted when the light levels fell a bit.
Stopped using the tc altogether.
Ho,
Has any one use mc-11 adapter to use the canon ef fit 150-600 contemporary on a Sony A7iii or A6500 ! ?
