  1. Hi, just got a Tamron 18-300m yesterday and found this forum. It worked well on my X-T2. On the X-T4 it would not focus between 60-299mm. I bought if for an Iceland trip and was mad. Happily i had some hope after reading this page, I have changed the settings to use a Zone AF and turned off face detection. It now focuses on the X-T4. Both lens and X-T4 are on the latest firmware. Just joined the forum, not sure if this is the best thread to ask on, I searched. The Tamson 18-300mm seems very unstable at 300mm, I know its long, are you guys using a tripod at that length for stability? I am planning on taking it to iceland for tele shots, but if its this unstable at 300mm, i will have to get a lens collar and another tripod for it to get sharp images. Does anyone have any experience / advice in the field with this lens? My old Canon 70-300mm IS lens seemed more stable hand held. I dont want to come back from Iceland after using it and binning all the shots from it due to the IS not being great handheld. Cheers, Steve Update, seems the focus went on each body again. turning it of and on again on the xT2, and it’s working again. I wonder if it cannot handle a focus mode switch? Or some other setting changes while it is on? Did anyone check this? obviously it’s not acceptable, but it seems to be linked to some change during use. If I work it out, at least I can mitigate its problems. Steve
