My new tamron 150-600 for nikon (d7100) is on its way for warranty work as of today. It is failing to reliably auto-focus if the distance from first object to next object is too great. I am happy to have that USA warrenty....

I received my 150-600mm lens last week. The second time I took it out, it wouldnt auto focus if there was a great distance between the shots. If I manual focused to get closer to focus, it will focus. Sometimes if I kept hitting the focus, it would finally get there. I have it set to back button focus. I have a D7100. Should I call Tamron?

Bob, I would not get to hung up on if you are shooting at 1.5:1 or 1:1. Just know that when compared to a full frame camera even though you are technically shooting at 1:1 your image would appear to be shot at 1.5:1. But really that makes little difference, most macro shooters are going to crop their images anyway so that they can display their subject as large as they can while preserving image quality... so in the end the question you are posing is not really very significant. The lens that you are asking about is going to preform as well as any macro lens out there so the question is purely academic as unless you change over to something like Canon and purchase a MP-E 65 that goes up to 5:1 mag, but as it is 1:1 is all the magnification that your going to get out of a conventional lens on your camera.

There are other things that you can do to increase magnification beyond the 1:1 ratio such as by adding extension tubes, or purchasing filters which will magnify your image... or in my case I use wide angle lenses mounted backwards to my camera.... But as far as aspect ratio it is really something that you should not get to hung up on... too many people think far too hard about the difference between aspect ratios on a full frame and a crop sensor camera. What is important is understanding the camera that you have.

Wide angle mounted backwards?? Sounds interesting. Can you share more about this?

I am starting my bucket list and photography is on it! I have owned a variety of cameras but nothing like my of new D7100. I like to shoot landscape, wildlife, buildings, flowers, bugs and my cats. You guys have been invaluable for the past three months as I have moved passed my manual mode fear and made decisions regarding lenses. I have a 17-50 F/2.8 Nikon on the way, am looking for a 70-200 F4 and a Sigma 10-20. I have my eye on the new Tameron 150-600 if it performs as well on Nikons.... My first dive trip to Malaysia is planned for May and a 2 week trip to Utah state parks later in the year. I will be looking for more great tips. Thanks!
