Tamron 18-200 and Canon Rebel XT

I just purchased a Tamron 18-200 for my Canon XT. I enjoy taking pictures and want an all in one lens and the 18-200 fits the bill. Not concern with the picture quality being professional or even amateur-ist, I purchased a non-canon product. To my horror the lens causes error to occur er once in a while while shooting and the only way to reset is to unlock and re-lock the lens to the base.

Any ideas?? The firmware for the Canon is 1.0.2.

Re: Tamron 18-200 and Canon Rebel XT

I have recently bought the same lens and am having the same issues as you.  Did you ever resolve your issue?  My Canon version's firmware is 1.0.1 and Canon have told me I cannot get anymore firmware updates on this camera because of its age.  What did you do?  Thanks!

Try contacting Tamron.

I have that lens and have had no issues with it on my 70D, 80D and M (with adapter).

There is always something to shoot/snap, you just have to know how to do it and have the right gear.
