Have ordered my 6K Pro and am also planning to purchase a Tamron 15-30mm 2.8 IS. However, a colleague just told me that Tamron lenses don’t work well (the IS, AF, and Iris) with the 6K in general. Been Googling around for any resolution to this issue and was hoping if such is not the case anymore and that I can go ahead and make the Tamron purchase.
Thank you all in advance,
Anthony
I'm awaiting my delivery of the BMPCC6K Pro (B&H is slow), and I own that lens so trying it out will be my first priority since it's the ultimate dream combination (having I.S. to avoid micro-jitters at that wide focal length is something that lens manufacturers otherwise stupidly think isn't relevant). But I'm absolutely not optimistic; just because other Tamron lenses might work, doesn't guarantee that all of them will. I've read confirmed reports that this specific 15-30mm G2 doesn't work in all categories of aperture, focus and I.S. Usually one or more of those features is dead.
I really wish that everyone would coordinate to make these compatible. Cheapo lens adapters, all the way up to Metabones, have the same problem.
Basically, I wouldn't buy it yet, and I'll definitely post back once B&H finally delivers.
