Hi all,
This Is something that I have just discovered, so it may help others out. Awhile back I bought a Tamron 100-400mm lens from E-Infinity and was absolutely chuffed with it, however upon my research into Mirrorless systems, I discovered that it needed a firmware update via the Tap-In Console for RF support. So I done some checking and Tamron clearly state on their Website that firmware updates can only be downloaded to lenses that have legally been imported into the EU.
So just over a week ago I thought I would take the risk & so I ordered the Tap-In Console from E-Infinity, which arrived today. I am extremely happy to report that not only did the firmware update but I was also successfully able to calibrate some aspects of the 100-400mm and not only is the AF completely silent but also is a lot sharper than it was before. I know that the Grey market is Marmite on here, but just wanted to give my experience to others that have lenses can be updated if required.
