Can TAMRON Model B011 be used with Canon EOS M5?
At the same time as the Canon EOS M5 was announced, a new EF-M lens EF-M18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM was also announced.
Finally, a genuine high-power zoom lens with EF-M mount will be released.
have
a third-party TAMRON Model B011 The focal length of Model B011 is 18-200mm, which is simply better than the stock.
That's why I didn't find the 18-150mm very appealing.
However, I remembered the story on the page below.
I feel a bit of anxiety.
What does it actually mean?
Can it be used with EOS M5?
So, when I contacted Tamron, he said,
- Since it is not yet released, compatibility has not been verified.
- Detailed verification will take time.
- In the unlikely event that a problem is confirmed, we will make announcements regarding how to respond.
To summarize, the answer went something like this.
Even in the worst case scenario, is it possible to manage it by updating the lens?
In that case, you'll have to wait patiently, but I
hope you can use it.
I have to try the one on display at the store again
