Tamron has released a press statement addressing some issues they’ve found with the 70-180mm. Tamron plans on solving these issues in a firmware update early June.
1. A malfunction of Inner-body image stabilizer occurs when used at about 70-85mm focal length and at more than 5.5m of object distance. Applicable camera models: α7 II. Please turn the inner body image stabilizer function “OFF” when you use this lens at less than an 85mm focal length.
2. 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. Applicable 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.
Yes, this lens provides full-frame sensor coverage.
