As you know, I have had the RX10-4 since its release but the M6ii still has its place in my bag, I'm getting some rather nice images using it with the ef-s 55-250 is stm and I have a used 100mm IS ...

I've arrived at an interesting (to me) conclusion - I've made a mistake buying this lens and will be trading it back for cash. I decided to compare the results from it with some shots I took today ...

I have had a chance to do a few more tests, nothing scientific just shooting my normal subjects A few thoughts: - the m6 mk2 shows up the optical weakness of the lens at 400mm more than the m50 - ...

that is my position too, just wondered if I was missing anything

how do you find Topaz de-noise? I'm using the DXO elite prime noise reduction and find it does a good job on files from both systems

Thanks for your input, I have been shooting with the RX10-4 since first came out and for many things its my "goto" camera but it does have noise limitations for some subjects Until recently I was ...

"Don't wait up chaps, I may be some time" :-D

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 ...

Primarily for R2, I am not a video shooter but following an earlier chat with him I promised to have a go and share the results As a first attempt these should be considered very much "worst case" ...

I've had a quick play (remember I have never done this before) nothing worth sharing as it was hand-held and very wobbly but two things: the refocusing as I move from subject to subject is very ...

thanks, its one of my photos printed onto a 24"X16" canvas (Portland Lighthouse at the back end of a storm)

I wouldn't try to use it for BIF but will have a play shooting some nature video and let you know how it works

"I have to ask (for a friend) how the autofocus is for video. Is it quiet? Smooth?" I don't shoot video so can't help there, when I put it into continuous auto-focus as a test it was quite noisy ...

a few first images from the M50 with Tamron 18-400 our rear "Nature Garden", hasn't been watered for over 18 years, no chemicals, never been dug since we created it 24 years ago

Thanks Jerry, just looking at my first selection of images, from rubbish to pretty good, but its early days :-)

received the Tamron 18-400 today, seems to work although auto focus at 300-400mm appears to hesitate before locking on. Has anyone else seen this? (as a side note - I've now got my boot scooter ...

On Gerald W's recommendation I'm giving the Tamron 18-400 a go. I've decided I couldn't cope with my heavy gear any more so will now just work with my Sony RX10-4 and the M50. This option gives me ...

I've taken the plunge and ordered an as new used copy of this lens and it arrives tomorrow. I hope it works out :-)

thanks Gerald, I already have the canon m-ef adapter from owning the m6mk2 earlier (couldn't get on with the add-on EVF) I don't understand why Tamron are still denying this lens is compatible with ...

thanks a lot, I've spotted a ridiculously cheap offer from MPB so will go for it
