Tamron has released firmware version 2.0 for its 28-75mm Di III RXD, addressing previously acknowledged autofocus issues.
The update specifically addresses focusing issues on Sony E-mount cameras while shooting video, including ‘autofocusing operation and loss of focus,’ while also addressing ‘flicker on peripheral parts of the image when zooming.’
See our Tamron 28-75mm sample gallery
The firmware update is done through the Sony cameras themselves, with the lens mounted. We’ll be updating our review sample, so keep an eye out on our homepage for a full review in the coming weeks.
