Last updated: October 16, 2023 / Published: July 6, 2020 by Timothy Mayo - 2 Comments

Tamron has released firmware update ver.3 for their 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD lens.

This update improves the following issues:

When you use flashes, there is a delay from the time the shutter button is pressed to the time the shutter and the flash release.

It’s applicable to the following camera models: α7, α7 II, α7R, α7R II, α7S, α7S II, α5000, α5100, α6000, α6300, α6500, NEX-3N, NEX-5R, NEX-5T, NEX-7, NEX-F3, NEX-6

The previous Ver.2 firmware improved the following issues which may rarely occur with certain settings:

The back monitor of camera instantly flashes when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
AF doesn’t work properly after the camera recovers from the sleep mode or power off.

Further details and downloads can be found on Tamron’s website.

I just picked up the Tamron 17-28 and thought I’d purchased a bad copy! Thanks for update on this
