  • Some Tamron lenses have issues

    Dear Tamron product users and potential purchasers. Thank you for your continued support of Tamron products. We would like to announce you that we have confirmed that some of our lenses do not work properly with the Nikon D6 released on the Japanese market on June 5, 2020.

    Affected models:

    • Tamron SP 35mm F/1.4 Di USD (Model F045) for Nikon
    • Tamron 17-35mm F/2.8-4 Di OSD (Model A037) for Nikon

    Symptom:

    1. AF does not work when the camera power is turned on after mounting the lens with the camera power off.
    2. AF does not work when the camera returns from sleep mode.

    We are currently working on the cause of those issues and will inform you of updated information in our website. We sincerely apologize to all users and potential purchasers for any inconvenience this issue may cause.

    Thank you for purchasing and using our products.

    We have found that some SIGMA interchangeable lenses for Nikon are not fully compatible with the Nikon D6 released on June 5th.

    When certain lenses are attached to this camera the following phenomena will occur.

    Products concerned:

    • SIGMA 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM | Art
    • SIGMA 14-24mm f/2.8 DG HSM | Art
    • SIGMA 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM | Art
    • SIGMA 28mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art
    • SIGMA 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art
    • SIGMA 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art
    • SIGMA 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art
    • SIGMA 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM | Art

    Phenomenon:

    • It takes time to start even if the camera power is turned on
    • Autofocus does not work

    Nikon made special small changes, and, of course they tested and made sure that competition will have small issues.

  • Tokina again

    We would like to inform You that we found functional issue with Tokina opera 50mm f/1.4 FF (Nikon F mount) when used with Nikon D6 camera (released on June 5, 2020). Other Tokina lenses work normally.

    Affected model: Opera 50mm F1.4 FF (Nikon F mount).

    Symptoms:

    • When the power of the camera with the lens attached is turned ON, AF might not work properly.
    • After the camera recovers from "Sleep mode" AF might not work properly.
    • We are currently investigating the issue and will inform you as soon as possible.

    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause.

  • Firmware update v1.20

    • A Recall shooting functions (hold) item has been added to Custom Setting f3 Custom controls. Assigning this role to a control lets you recall previously-saved values for settings such as exposure and metering by pressing the control once during viewfinder photography. The previous values can be restored by pressing the control a second time. Recall shooting functions (hold) can be assigned to the Preview button, Fn1 button, Fn2 button, Fn button for vertical shooting, AF-ON button, Sub-selector center, AF-ON button for vertical shooting, Movie record button, or Lens focus function buttons.
    • A new option, Prefer sub-selector center, has been added to the Custom Settings menu at position f13. Although at default settings the sub-selector cannot be used to position the focus point while the center is pressed, selecting Off for Prefer sub-selector center lets you hold the center and still position the focus point by pressing the sub-selector up, down, left, or right. You can, for example, assign AF-area mode to the center of the sub-selector and then use the sub-selector to position the focus point while the center still serves in the AF-area mode role.
    • A Focus point selection speed item has been added to Custom Setting a17 Focus point options. The speed at which the focus points for viewfinder photography can be cycled by holding the sub-selector or keeping the multi selector pressed up, down, left, or right can be chosen from Normal, High, and Extra high.
    • Ratings are now displayed at all times during playback zoom, even when None (image only) is selected for playback display options.
    • The camera can now more reliably focus on poorly-lit low-contrast subjects when dynamic-area AF is selected for AF-area mode.
