Grey imports are genuine cameras off the same conveyor belt and factory as any other so is no more likely to brick than one bought in the UK, US or wherever you buy them fromA quick question before my A7R III arrives tomorrow, I purchased it through E-Infinity hence its a grey import. Can I / should I be able update the firmware or is this liable to brick it? To be honest I can’t see me bothering to try when it arrives but after the initial excitement dies down I’m likely to start trying to tinker under the hood (if you’ll forgive the Americanism) so thought it prudent to ask first
Yes I get that, just pointing out what would have been ideal for meThe whole point of this lens in that is small and light. They have gone to some length to keep it that way and you want to make it unnecessarily bulky lol. You should really buy the GM it has everything you want
But to be seems like the RF 70-200mm is the lens you want
Obviously Tamron don’t agree with me but it’s all well and good making it smaller and lighter but not at the expense of a number of features. We’ll obviously never agree on this but an extra 15-20mm and 100g would have been worth it to get the focus limiter, AF switch and collar IMO. Would still be half a kilo lighter and a lot smaller than the GM.
