Lenstips published its full review of the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD. You can read in full here or check out the excerpt below:

The Tamron 150-500 mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD is a really well-put-together lens.

Pros:

  • very good image quality in the frame centre across the whole focal range,
  • good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,
  • negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration,
  • slight lateral chromatic aberration,
  • imperceptible spherical aberration,
  • moderate astigmatism,
  • sensible coma correction,
  • silent and quite quick autofocus,
  • slight vignetting on the APS-C sensor,
  • very good price/performance ratio.

Cons:

  • too weak image quality on the edge of full frame at the maximum focal length,
  • too high pincushion distortion in the middle of the focal range,
  • distinct vignetting on full frame,
  • significant “breathing”.

Fujifilm Has 8% of The Mirrorless Market

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 20, 2024


The Nikkei published 2023 numbers from Techno System Research stating that Fujifilm now controls 8% of the mirrorless camera market, which is a pretty good bump. Still, Fujifilm would even be higher if they could keep up with demand for cameras like the X100 which is currently selling at a huge premium on secondary markets.

Amazon is Canceling Fujifilm X100VI Orders Updated

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 19, 2024


It appears that Amazon is canceling some Fujifilm X100VI orders because the camera is out of stock. In my experience, Amazon generally sends out an E-mail to confirm if you still want to wait for the order to be filled, but it appears that this customer was never contacted. I personally recommend B&H Photo over Amazon on my websites because these kinds of issues haven’t come up with B&H Photo.

If you are waiting for a Fujifilm X100VI order from Amazon I recommend you reach out to them and make sure they do not automatically cancel your order.

Update: I am now seeing reports of other companies canceling orders too.

Tamron BIG ZOOM Coming

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 19, 2024


Tamron has a big zoom lens coming that could be used for X and E mounts.

What’s Coming Next:
a Hasselblad zoom lens
a Tamron BIG ZOOM

Tamron’s nonstandard zoom ranges have been excellent, so I hope they give us a slightly more interesting lens than a Tamron 200-600mm.
