Hot eBay deal of the day! $220 off on the Tamron SP 150-600mm for Sony!

[shoplink 40034 ebay]tamron_superzoom_amount[/shoplink]

This ia major deal of the day at eBay: The very good and very big Tamron SP 150-600mm A-mount lens sells with a big $220 off at [shoplink 40034 ebay]BuyDig eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. Don’t forget to select Sony mount on the drop down menu!

The lens got tested on the A7II by Luminous Landscape:

The on-sensor phase detection AF of the A7 MKII and the system’s focus tracking capability allowed for capturing these completely unpredictable penguins as they jumped from the water. Their position can’t really be anticipated and their time above water is faster that ones ability to anticipate.Virtually every frame out of hundreds shot showed excellent lock-on and tracking. I frankly don’t think that I have ever used a long zoom lens / camera combo that could have done better.

SAR reader Gilles Frydman sent us that nice picture of the new Sony A7rII with Meike grip and the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 SSM superzoom. he also said the “Meike battery pack MK-A7II Pro  which seems to work great, at about 1/3 of the Sony price“. You can see image samples shot with that combo on his Facebook page. You can buy the Meike grip on Amazon US (Click here) or via many [shoplink 39175 ebay]eBay sellers (Click here)[/shoplink].

New A7rII reviews: ePhotozine: “fantastic camera”. Richard Auger: “right direction for landscape and fine-art photographers”.

bestsellerA7RII

The A7rII is in Stock at Amazon US and is now on top of the Mirrorless Camera Sales ranking. And here are two new camera reviews:

Film Photographer’s Review by Richard Auger.

I’m excited to have finally found a digital camera system that’s going in the right direction for landscape and fine-art photographers. Because Nikon and Canon stuck with the 35mm SLR format in the early 2000s, as well as the lack of viewfinder technology at that time, people like me have been stuck with the DSLR format. Its an exciting time for digital photography, where we finally are seeing some real camera choices. If only I could find a dedicated panoramic digital camera.

ePhotozine writes:

The Sony Alpha A7R II is a culmination of all the best features from Sony’s expertise rolled into one fantastic camera.

First Tamron 35mm and 45mm f/1.8 lens image samples and full details.

tamron_a

Today Tamron announced two new great A-mount primes which could be interesting for E-mount camera owners too because we don’t have cheap and fast native E-mount primes yet. So first of all you can preorder them now here:
Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di USD Lens for Sony A at BHphoto.
Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 Di USD Lens for Sony A at BHphoto.

To see all specs and some really great image samples check out here:

Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 Di special Tamron page (Click here).
If you read German there is a greta test over at Blog.krolop-gerst.com. The reviewer says the lens quality is superb and easily resolves the 50MP from the Canon 5dsr. So if you are going to use this on the Sony A7rII you will be fine!

And this is Tamron’s official introduction video (note the lens comes for Nikon and Canon mounts too)
