Anybody using this zing 530-301 with a Canon 7D and Tamron 18-270

I believe the overall length of the Tamron lens is 3.5". I am using the Zing 530-301 on a Canon 5D MkIII with a Canon 24-70mm L lens. That lens is about 1/3" longer than the Tamron 18-270. It's a bit snug but works well.

I don't have the Tamron 18-270, so I can't answer that. I have a Canon 6D and it fits with the 24-105 f/4 lens and there is a little extra room in the length. It does not fit the 6D with the 70-200 f/2 lens.

Yes, I got it for Christmas and love it, I had a cheaper one and I go for this one. You should be happy with it. I use t on my 7D with a 100-400mm lens and it works great. I would listen to Coyote and get a good head mount. Best of luck to you

I have the 2x Teleconverter from Tamron but i am not sure it is the same here. Mine is all black. I can tell you that I do use it with the same setup you have using a Canon 7D and the Tamron 70-200mm and it works just fine.

Have not tried the tamron the cannon 24-70 2.8L II . Is a a purchase I'll never regret. It holds up against my friends zeiss primes plus blazing fast auto focus

The Canon metering algorithm/hardware is patented, and they only allow a select-few vendors that info. Polaroid is not one of thoise vendors so this flash will not work with your 7D metering system... you'll have to manually select your flash output. Ultimately Canon wants you to buy their high-quality/price ring flash. That's the solution to your metering question. :\

I use a 7D and will be upgrading to a 6D. I can tell you it does not work with my 7D and a Canon 100 -400mm L series lens. I have to rely on manual focus which is a real bummer! I really don't want to pay Canon's price for their 2x teleconvertor, but may have no choice. Hope this helps

Thank you D. Fletcher! That never occurred to me and it did the trick on my Z712. I'll only use IS for long shots with lots of zoom. Thanks a heap!

Would love it if someone could comment on this. I am at the same decision point. Was also looking at the Sigma EF-530 DG Super, which is cheaper than the Canon 430. I am working with a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am an amateur. Translation, automated functionality is very desirable where possible ... but I'm also looking for a reasonable price. I'd really appreciate it if someone could share their advice. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

I have Sigma 150-500 for Canon. It works great with Sigma Teleconverter AF 2x DG using Canon 5D MK III, 70D, T3, and T5 with Manual Exposure or Auto without 2x.

I have a D3100 and it works perfectly! It does say it's compatible with the 7000, so I think you're ok

Thanks for the information. I was using a Canon 28-135 IS USM as my walk around travel lens and loved it until it got stolen in an airport! :-( Now I'm in the market for a new lens and I'm leaning towards the Tamron. I've used their lens in my past photography life with my old AE-1 Program and I'd LOVE the 18-270 if I can swing the $$$. I'm hunting eBay as well, as that's where I got my 28-135 and had NO problems with it at all!

It fits.. I used to mount my tamron 75-300 to my 60D.. Did as told. . No auto focus. . A lever to adjust the apertures which is not bad. . But this adapter made the pictures so soft.. I mean not just sift. . Really really soft. . N m not exaggerating. . It looked like I just hit the slide of a softness bar of Lightroom to the max sift I can. . But telling all this I don't know if it is just my adaptor that had this issue. . If you have others in option I would suggest go for them

Mia - I use mine primarily with a Canon 60d and it is wonderful! I did run I to an issue with one of the tightening screws not behaving properly but it is a very inexpensive fix from a local hardware shop. For the money, it is one of the best improvements I have made to my camera rig.

I use it with a 7D and works perfect. Be aware that 7D and 5D both can read UDMA 7 but dont run much faster than UDMA 6

I'm just a user and can only give an opinion .... Here goes ... I really like my unit. It works well for me. It's a few years old and there may be better Updated units available. I bought it for the Ziess lens. I did have to go to the internet for my software as I had purchased a referbed unit on line for $50 bucks. So I got a good price and use it every week. Peter

Yes, I use mine all the time with my 7D and 5D Mk III. The manual is a bit sketchy, in my opinion, but practice with it. Hint: for long (&gt; 30 sec) exposures---mount on tripod (obviously), select "Bulb," select "Mirror Lock Up," set Drive to 2-sec delay, AF to OFF, exposure to Manual, set f-stop to desired value. On the Remote, set "Long" to desired exposure interval plus 2 sec. Start the timer--the mirror locks up, 2-sec delay starts then shutter opens for the desired exposure interval ("Long" setting minus the camera's 2 sec. delay). At night if I'm going to do multiple exposures I turn off the Image Review and select appropriate noise reduction setting---which might be "Off" if the added noise reduction processing time interferes with doing closely-spaced exposure intervals.

I can tilt but not much good as a slave with my 7D. I'm actually selling mines to buy the flash mount that syncs up with my camera properly.
