Thanks for the responses and interesting comments. I knew this lens was highly regarded but wasn't aware of the concerns, that some have, about the type of tripod foot used. I guess my position is ...

I don't own this lens but keep toying with the idea of it. That is because it would get relatively limited use. Given the updates to lenses that have been happening e.g. 700-200 f2.8, and just ...

I'm not quite sure why people have picked up on this thread nearly 3 years later. As I mentioned at the time, I bought the lens. I don't use it much but as a small, light, fast aperture lens for ...

Thanks for all your further responses. I'll have to keep thinking about this.

mfenske - thanks for your post. It's disappointing that you think the A7iii has much better AF performance than the A7Riii even in the PDAF area. I have thought about an APSC camera but I don't ...

Caplanner, Mike and Magnar - I am sure you are right that good technique is crucial to getting good shots. Thanks for your suggestions. I know I will have a lot to learn as I have not had a camera ...

Magnar Thanks for responding and taking the time to include pictures. I'm guessing with your kitesurfers that the eye was within the PDAF area. Do you find that focus is less responsive if the ...

I know the real time tracking of the post 2019 models would be better but I can't afford an A7iv plus a 200-600 lens.  I would be buying both used. So... The things I would be wanting to do would be ...

Thank you to you all for your speedy and helpful responses. It's a pity it is not in the mk3 cameras but so be it.

If any owners of either of these cameras could tell me whether there is a menu item to restrict the number of AF areas one needs to scroll through when selecting an area I would be grateful. I ...

lastole Thank you so much for taking the time to take photographs and dig out information. I really appreciate it. Your shots show clearly that, unlike the sony 10-18, the tamron is unusable on ...

Because I am thinking of getting an APS-C camera to accompany my A7ii. Then I could have a wide angle lens on the APS-C all the time when I take two cameras out. Given that the Sony 10-18 allowed ...

Sludge - some nice shots of yours in that other thread. So are you saying you have used the lens with a 100mm square filter system and it is fine at all focal lengths on APS-C format? I wasn't ...

I know the Sony 10-18 can work on full frame without vignetting between roughly 13-16mm. I wonder if the Tamron 11-20 can work on full frame at all. I guess it may only be at certain focal lengths ...

Thanks again

I can see that there is an English language manual but is  the software only presented in German?

Oops - sorry for mis-spelling your name Thor

Ah - thanks Tor

I'm sure I have seen a thread on this forum in the past about this but can't find anything with a search. If I remember correctly is it made by a German developer? Is there also something done by Sony?

Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to respond to this thread. I appreciate it. I feel I can't buy this camera "blind" from ebay, particularly because I need to know I would be happy ...
