u have sample pics ar? i am lost when it comes to technical stuffs la..

You know you can separately set your focus point and exposure point in your camera?

tried, but dont really know how to use

It's just like recomposing. I manually set AF-On as the focus lock button and AE-Lock for locking exposure and the Shutter button just to shoot (no half press function).

So when i focus at point A i press AF-On to lock focus on target A, then move my camera's focus to an area with the lighting i want my exposure to be and press AE-Lock, then recompose to how you want your picture composition to be and shoot with the shutter button.

Ahhhhh i get it.... just combine AE-Lock with half hold shutter

no wonder AE-Lock got the sign * when pressed

icicicicicicicic

I guess that works too, although i use the AF-On to eliminate the need for needing to keep pressing half shutter to focus. Just 1 press on AF-On and my focus is locked

Hey thx man

my tamron sp90 giving me an Error 01 on my 6D

no prob

sounds like the infamous Canon 24-105L error lol... hope it's still under warranty...

no la, that lens i got from fruitie i think 3 years back, just now shooting halfway suddenly like got some rough mechanical sound, then now cannot use liao, apparently need 500 bucks to fix

Sorry to hear that...
Well, look you can have a new lens soon.

Nevertheless, it has served you well with so many awesome food shots.

Used price 800, repair price 500, heartache la :'(

Not worth for it lo. Buy another new macro lens.

Hahaha won't be so soon la, luckily I had another tamron 28-75 as spare, got some macro functions, so still can cari makan for now...

happened before to me with my tamron 70-200mm, luckily after a few times of turning the camera off and on + remounting the lens that error was gone

BTW, by mechanical sound is it from the aperture blade? I just remembered that when that error occurred the aperture blade was stuck.

That was what kldslr told me, if aperture blade KO, means 500 bucks for repairs..

it seems like common issue for old generation tamron lenses then

surprisingly that lens still alive, although i sold it to my friend

When fruitie had it, it was already aged, and I pushed it even further

Now what macro lenses out there that I can get for 500 bucks... Hmmm

i would suggest getting something like a 50mm + extension tubes until you managed to save up for a new set of macro lens.

common error 01
