    Dunnock after micro adjustment

    My test cards arrived and I performed the microadjust on the Tamron 150-600mm. It needed adjusting by -15 at the long end. Nothing much in the garden and its mizzling and windy so didn't feel like going further afield. So settled for portraits of a dunnock to test the adjustments. I had to use a high ISO due to the minimal light.

      Thank you, Dawsey. Maybe the lens will be more usable now.

            Does your camera support near and distance M/A carol, as in my experience adjusting distance can affect near and vice-versa . -15 does sound rather a lot though . I presume you did the testing tripod mounted,single shot mode,lens at its widest aperture .

            Went through all this a while back and it turns out it was a faulty camera

              I did set up the camera on the tripod and the card was on the worktop up against the wall at the far end. Camera was on single shot, wide open (6.3) aperature.

              However, I didn't do the wide end of the zoom, as that seemed ok. I will have to test it now to see if the adjustment affected it at all. Thanks.

                As I recall, the 7D2 does long and short-end Micro Adjust...

                      as with the big sigma's the best tip is to keep your shutter speed up ,you can cure a noisy photo but not a soft one .looks like you done everything right though

                        Well done Carol, looks like you have it sorted.

                        It seems much easier to get good shots when you have confidence in your equipment.

                          Indeed, a couple of lovely sharp shots.

                          I have all the confidence in my equipment - it's the idiot using it that I know is quite simply well below par!
