Hi Everybody, My name is Luisa. Im a woman with 4 children. Married. Living in the Netherlands,Europe. I used to photograph dogs a lot. But not professionally. But a hobby. I had the 30d,then the 40d and then i bought the 7d. I had it for years and it never let me down. Ever. Untill i put a Tamron lense on it. Im not blaming Tamron in general. But there seems to be a problem with this specific lense. I normally use my Canon 70-200mm 4.0 lense. I always had great joy from it. My son is a very enthousiastic carspotter and got an old 350d from my brother with the Tamron lense on it. It gave a lot of error 99s. My son phoned me one day asking to borrow my 7d. Because his 350d fell out. Changed the lenses and i think that was the final blow because his camera doesnt work anymore with the Tamron. It does go on but errors right away. So i put my own canon lens back on my 7d and it worked for a while but when i left it and came back to stay if it was still alive it wasnt. I have no idea what could be wrong. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Ps we have 2 snakes, a dog,fish,chickens,and giant snails.
I do They are at school now.So im enjoying a cup of tea before i start the house cleaning..well i wouldnt call it cleaning.It starts with picking up after everybody.
Welcome to the forum, Luïsa, in Tasmania we have 3 snake species, Tiger snake, Copper head and a whip snake. All poisonous. The Canon 350D is a nice little camera, I have 2 of them, my students use in my Photography class. Now to the problem with the Tamron, other than cleaning the contacts, there is little I can suggest other than to replace the lens.
Tasmania! Wow! Im sure youre missing a bunch of Taz's because they seem to be in my house. So cool to "meet" someone from such an awesome place. I think youre right. I should get him another set to work with. Such a shame though.. I hope my 7d will be ok for a while. I made a lot of clicks with that one. It never failed me untill recently but he is in his pension age. Im going to try it out again. There is a ponyshow today. Kind Regards Luïsa Ps any pics of your great country on this forum?Would love to see.
