To kinda explain why I posted the Link earlier:
I have never subscribed to cable/satellite television so I am not really a "cord cutter." However, I have built an extensive system for television. I started about fifteen years ago when I built a HTCP (Home Theater Personal Computer) based around SageTV -- which, BTW, is still to this day the backbone of the system. Of course, I am fortunate to live in an area of great OTA television -- over 80 channels.
This system includes:
Vizio 65" television (will be replaced when the P Quantum 65" is released in June/July) (well, there are 3 other tvs but who's counting)
Windows Vista computer
Yamaha RX-V673 receiver -- setup as 7.1 speaker system (Will be replace with a RX-3080 when released in June/July)
SageTV v9.0 -- HD300
8 - HDHomeRun Tuners
3 - ROKU units (I-1Ultra, 2-Express)
nVidia Shield
PLEX
PlayOn
My subscriptions are:
DirecTV Now (DTVN)- $5.00 month ($10 minus $5 bundle credit) -- this was special pricing from when they first started the service,
HBO - free,
Showtime - $8.00 month,
Netflix - $11.39 month,
Hulu - $5.99 month,
Amazon Prime - Hard to say what the cost is because it is mostly because of the free shipping,
and, of course, the AT&T unlimited Internet service.
These subscriptions work out well for us because we travel quite extensively and simply connect all of the above, over the internet, to our RV.

Google it. You can do serious damage doing it the wrong way.

Yes, these are all hand held shots. I usually use a tripod for landscapes. These were taken with a Nikon D5500.

I am very happy with my Tamron 18-400, also. (Just to confirm... these are all hand-held shots?)

Three things!?!? Sounds like the "only three things you need to know about plumbing."
1. [stuff] flows downhill.
2. Paydays are Friday.
3. Never, ever lick your fingers.

Last year, I used snapfish.com and was very pleased.

These are four that I have installed on my Android phone... although I have yet to get around to trying any of them
Photo GPS Tag
PhotoTrackr
GPS4Cam
Geotag Photos
Anyway, I am sure a search in Google Play store will find others for you.

Does fine tuning at the long end compromise focus accuracy at the medium and short ranges?
I don't know. I am guessing, however, that if it does, the six other points of adjustment would compensate for it.

That doesn't answer the question.
This page (http://www.tamron.co.jp/software/en/tapin/help/customize/) doesn't answer the question? Then, I don't understand the question... could you rephrase, please?

In addition to AF fine tuning, I believe that lens also has customization switches for focus limiting.
This lens does not, as far as I can tell, have a focus limiting switch... at least, not on the Canon mount version. http://tamron.cdngc.net/inst/pdf/b028inst_1701_en.pdf

The reviews generally forget that when you only get one chance to get the shot, autofocus has highest priority. Birds in flight or football in the air it is hard to beat. autofocus similar to the 1Dx.
That incredibly reliable and fast auto focus and 10 frames per second shutter speed is also very good, for instance, when shooting the flower toss at weddings.
