Comparing the Tamron 18-400 on m50 and m6 mk2
2

Thanks to Gerald W I have been experimenting with the 18-400 + m50 pairing and getting not bad results but recent attempts to shoot  planes at our local Bournemouth Air Festival as they overflew our garden showed that the focusing abilities were less than ideal, (and sequential frame rate to low for my taste)

I've just taken delivery of another m6 mk2 (traded the m50, around the circle back to the start  ) and run some quick tests with that and its like chalk and cheese

Still only first tests but AF acquisition is much faster and more positive and, of course, the frame rate is much higher.

So far it looks a better match, more later

So much to learn, so little time left to do it!
