A7r with Tamron 150-600 but no raw in JPEG+RAW setting?


Recommended Posts

I am using the LA-EA4 sony adapter to fit the Tamron 150-600 lens with stunning results but it only seems to take JPEGs even though the camera is set to JPEG+RAW , it will take RAW if the camera is set to RAW only, has anybody got any suggestions please.

I cropped this down 50% for ease of viewing but its still large sorry about that

Cool photo. Sometimes import settings for photo editing software will show JPEG's only when both JPEG and RAW are present on the SD Card. I would check those settings and/or check directly the content of the SD Card.

Dieselhead,

 

I am also using the LA-EA4 sony adapter to fit the Tamron 150-600 lens with stunning results (on the A7II and have had no problem generating the RAW file with the JPEG + RAW settings.  I think Timde may be right.

 

Here is a terrible test shot; I attach it only as an example of a RAW file generated with the above set up.

Just another bland test shot with the Tamron 150-600 for those that have not tried it; this one is at 300mm at f/8.  Very sharp lens.  Is it my favorite lens of all time?  No, but perhaps the best new lens value I ever got and it is more than capable.

It doesn't need to shoot always with heavy caliber onto sparrows! I have done

this with heavy glasses on medium format cameras, as well as with 35mm DSRL for many years!

This attached hand held shot is shot within an distance of approx. 4 Km. Lateron, someone told me, that there was an roofer working on top of the main castle

tower!

    • I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you. 
    • Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.
    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
