It keeps on doing that until the IS is deactivated after a few seconds. The effect is very noticeable at the long end and using live view. The stabilizer tries to correct errors that don't exist and end up creating errors on its own. It's normal for this type of lens; IS only works for fairly quick shutter speeds anyway, and makes no sense on a tripod. But it still looks weird. ;) https://www.erikmoberg.net/article/new_lens_-_tamron_18-270_3.5-6.3_di_ii_vc#comment-1 https://www.erikmoberg.net/article/new_lens_-_tamron_18-270_3.5-6.3_di_ii_vc#comment-1 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 00:27:00 +0000 hello Erik, about the fact that the system "kicks in" and freezes the image. I just bought this same lense, and when focussing, the image in the viewfinder actually moves a fraction to the left down corner, and when releasing it again (without taking the shot) it moves back again. Do you notice the same effect happening? thanks, Jan https://www.erikmoberg.net/article/new_lens_-_tamron_18-270_3.5-6.3_di_ii_vc#comment-0 https://www.erikmoberg.net/article/new_lens_-_tamron_18-270_3.5-6.3_di_ii_vc#comment-0 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:03:00 +0000
