For this scenario I would concur. But this would be a rare occurrence yes? Done once it would most likely not need to be repeated.

You're correct. This is a pretty rare scenario. Thanks for responding.

It's somewhat of an unusual scene. I'm trying to get a pic of my dog when he sits at the storm door and wants to come inside. He sits there framed in the doorway. If I appear in his field of view, such as to focus the camera and snap the picture, he sees me and starts to move around, wag his tail, do somewhat of a dance. By using the remote release and staying out of his sight, he sits still but he can be anywhere from right up to the door to several feet from the door so the camera needs to focus. I guess I'll have to shut off the back button focus to make this happen.

Thanks

I have my D7100 set to use the rear AE-L/AF-L button as many have suggested on this site. I noticed that when I connect my wireless remote shutter release, the camera will not focus unless the rear button is pressed. Is there any setting that will keep the AF on the rear button but cause the camera to focus when the shutter is activated remotely? I'd rather not have to keep clearing the control setting to use the remote.
Thanks

For the most part, no big issues until I put a Tamron 70-200 VC f2.8 on my D810 and then I began to see a general softness across all my pics. I went through the lens calibration procedure and found out that +15 wouldn't move the focus point far enough. I printed high-quality photos (29) of the Spyder Target and the lens, with pictures is at Tamron. They said that they could adjust the lens. As a last resort, they recommend that I send in the camera body with the lens(es) and they will calibrate the lens to the body. My problem is that I also use FX lenses on my DX D7100 so I am not of the inclination to keep sending in all my stuff to Tamron. In all honesty, the 70-200 had been repaired once by Tamron which is the starting point for the soft photos.... those prior to that were tack sharp. Sooooo, not sure if it is a Tamron build issue, or the repair guys missed something but I am expecting the lens back within 6 days and will post the results.

Thank you and the others for your responses. They were helpful. Not sure if I'm going to keep the Tamron. I'll be curious to see how you make out when you get the lens back.

I almost purchased a Tamron 150-600, but it failed while I was testing it before purchase and I bought a Sigma Sport when they arrived. Very happy with the Sigma. I shoot Nikon. I believe the lens you are referring to is a 2.8?


That's correct. It's the 2.8 vc version.

Hello:
I've been monitoring the UHH forum for awhile and decided it was time to join.
I shoot with a Nikon 7100 and, until recently, used only Nikon lenses. None of the Nikon's required any lens calibration.
I'm on my second copy of the Tamron 24-70 1.8. The first front focused to the extent that a +20 adjustment would not completely correct the issue. The second copy required a +15 adjustment.
I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with Tamron lenses on Nikon bodies.

Thanks in advance.
