Hi

I finally preordered my R8 in a known physical store ... I am the first in line.

Thanks

Congratulations on your purchase.

Did they provide any expected delivery times?

Everything seems to be quiet on the R8 front.

I have an RP and it would be a very nice upgrade I think.

The RP also has the efcs only for mechanical shutter but the addition of a usable electronic shutter at up to 40fps would be great but I doubt my Tamron lenses would be able to focus fast enough so I might have to replace it with the rf100-400.

The batteries are compatible (also have 2 M bodies with same batteries), body size is what I'm used to and I have the base plate which I believe is also compatible.

I'll wait till some reviews (not first looks) and actual user experiences are available.

The sensor sounds like it could have better noise handling at higher ISO values than the RP.

Cheers

I bought a Tamron 100-400/4.5-6.3 brand new in 2018. Just got the Tamron Tap-In console today so I was able to upgrade this lens to the new firmware (Feb. 2019). There seems to be an marked improvement in AF with my R6MKII vs. when I tried it without the firmware update.

Hi José,

Thanks for the reply

I got my Tamron 100-400 as a used one in later 2019.

I took it took a camera store where they checked the firmware and it was at the latest version.

I am glad it is working well with the R6II.

Have you tried photographing faster moving subjects using the electronic shutter and 20 or 40fps.  Would be curious to know if the lens could keep up.

Cheers

Paul
