7D + Tamron Lens

My camera is a Canon 7D (which is a crop body) and i have the Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 which I use all the. If I switch to a full frame body (like a 5D Mark III), will my Tamron fit the full frame body of the Canon 5D Mark III?

If it's this lens NO it won't work, or should I say it will but it will look like you're shooting through a pipe.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Tamron lens

I have just ordered a EOS Mark III body and a Canon 70-200 F/2.8 II USM IS lens. Now I want a wide angle zoom lens to complete the package. I'm interested in a 24-70 f/2.8 lens. Canon's version does not have an image stabalizer and is over $2000. Tamron offers the same focal and aperture in their 24-70 f/2.8 with an image stabalizer for around $1300. Are there any issues concerning using a Tamron lens on a Canon body?

Really folks, when I joined this forum I had no idea it was for only Canon related issues and did not mean to insult the hosts. I am a Canon gal. I also own a Canon 7D. I wish all my equipment could be Canon. I have just spent a great deal of time and money researching and purchasing a Canon 5D Mark III and the Canon 70-200 F/2.8 II USM IS lens. I don’t want to settle for less. But now to complete the package I really want a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. I would have no doubts whatsoever about the Canon even at their price if it had IS. I do not want to regret not having the f.2.8 as I may be in some low light situations during my travels, or the IS as I may not be able to handle a camera and lens of that weight without a tripod. I bought the best tripod I could find made of carbon fiber( I won’t mention the name). It is compact, very light and has a load capacity of 25lbs. I plan on using it most of the time but there will be times that I just won’t have time to set it up.
I have read a lot of reviews and 90% of them regret not having IS. After comparing the Tamron with the Canon on other sites that test different products, there didn’t seem to be too much difference in performance of either lens. Canon was favored as it should be, but for the price comparison and no IS it failed to make that big of an impression. I think the manufacturers of Canon know this and will probably come out with another version that includes IS. As Bob said…“if a competitor's lens is well regarded for whatever reason, it's in Canon's interest to know that and to understand why. And if a Tamron lens makes a 5D3 affordable by someone who would otherwise buy a Sony, I think Canon would gladly take his money.” That’s an excellent point. And Bob, I have considered the Canon 24-70 f/4 but I really feel that maximum aperture over the total focal range is a plus that only 2.8 can give.
Ebbigs 1, I have considered the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 but it doesn’t have IS. The price certainly is appealing, but the Tamron even though more expensive is a better lens (from what I‘ve read). I do agree about the L quality and durability of the Canon lens however and I would buy it if not for the IS. I am getting ready for a long trip and am in need of a wide angle zoom lens as soon as possible.
I came here to find out if anyone knew if there were any issues with the Canon mount accepting a Tamron as I have never used anything but a Canon lens on my Canon cameras. Thank you for reading my rather long winded response and I apologize if I have offended anyone.

Only one Tamron lens on my lens profile list?

My lens profiles in the distortion correction list are small. I looked at the official list and mine is not right. I only have one Tamron lens profile. Nikon and Canon only have about 6 lenses each. What gives?

......oh.......well that answers my question. My pics are JPG. Thats kinda sad to hear especially since canon doesn't do distortion correction on non canon lenses. There's only one tamron lens for JPG, so sad. I was going crazy uninstalling and reinstalling and trying to find downloads for them. Thanks for the info. My frustration level has just dropped substantially. Thanks again!

Looking for lightroom lens profile for tamron lens

I am using lightroom 5 at work and shot some images with a canon 5d2 body with tamron 24-70 2.8 vc and tamron 70-200 2.8 vc lense. According to the note below, both lens are supported since lightroom 4.1. However I can not find the profile of these two lens on lightroom 5. Does anyone how I can bring the profile back in? Thanks.

The ProgramData folders are for Photoshop and are probably as old as the newest version of PS or DNG Converter you have.
The lens profiles for Lightroom 4 and 5 are under LR's Resources subfolder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom x.x\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0\
(x.x = whatever version of LR you have)
For my LR 4.4 I have the following 16 subfolders under LensProfiles\1.0:
Apple
Canon
Fujifilm
Hasselblad
Leica
Mamiya
Nikon
Pentax
Phase One
Samsung
Schneider
Sigma
Sony
Tamron
Tokina

LR 5.3 adds DJI and GoPro as manufacturers for a total of 18 subfolders.

Lens Profile For The Tamron Lens

Does anyone have a profile for the tamron 28-105 3.5-4.5 usm
on the canon 5d markll

What lens are you looking for? I don’t think there is a 27-40mm. Do you mean a 24-70 or 17-40? And what are the rest of the lens model specifications: max aperture, stabilization, optical quality, etc.

Tamron lens profile missing

I have just installed LR5 on Windows 8. I cannot find the lens profile for Tamron 27-40. Any ideas? I had this available with LR5 on Windows 7.

Lens (Tamron 18-270) not available in Lens correction menu

Hi all,
I only see some lenses to pick from in the lens correction menu. According to a list on the Adobe website, my lens (Tamron 18-270) should be included, but it is not.
I am using Lightroom 5 on a Win PC and a Sony Alpha 58 camera. Photos made as RAW.
Any idea where I can find or activate the lens?
Could it be, that the Sony camera does not write the lens information in the EXIF file so that Lightroom doesn`t know which lens I used? But if so, why can I pick several from different companies (Canon, ...) but not the one from Tamron?
Best regards,
Mick

There are 5 18-270 Tamron lenses listed if you set the Make to Tamron and scroll up in the list to the top using the arrow at the top left of the list.
There is only one Tamron lens listed, not an 18-270, if you have a non-raw file selected.
Here is what I see at the top of the Tamron list and I just chose one of the 5 arbitrarily. I have no idea which of them is right, if any, for your Sony:

Lens Profiles not working in Lightroom 5.4?

I've got OSX 10.9.2, Lightroom 5.4, latest Camera raw, everything up to date.
When I "Enable Profile Corrections" for an image shot with a Sony a7r and Sony FE 55mm lens, it should automatically retrieve this profile:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Sony/SONY (Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA) - RAW.lcp
Well, it doesn't. The only Sony lens available in Lightroom's Lens Correction panel is "Sony DT 18-200mm." But there are several dozen Sony lense profiles in the "Sony" directory.
And more puzzling, the camera "Make" menu lists 8 manufacturers (Apple, Canon, DJI, GoPro, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Tamron) but leaves out a number of others — Fujifilm, Hasselblad, Leica, Mamiya, etc.
And as with Sony, only one Tamron lens is listed.
I've tried re-installing Lightroom fresh, and no luck.
Photoshop works fine and has all the lens profiles.
Anyone else noticing this? Got a fix?
Irked in Cambridge,
Mike

I only shoot in RAW, and I am having this same issue. I shoot Nikon with a Tokina lens. This morning, Tuesday October 14, 2014, I had this setting. I closed the program and restarted it, and now I only have Apple, Canon, DJI, GoPro, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Tamron lens profiles. There was not an update, nor did I actually change any settings. What is going on here?
I talked to customer support, whom suggested that I was stoned out of my mind because these profiles do not exist in lightroom. I did as the rep asked, followed the link and downloaded the "new" profile. Now I can't get it installed. Meanwhile, my photos are waiting for me to edit them. Can someone please help out here?!

Lens correction settings in LR3

Hi guys! I have downloaded LR3 yesterday and played with trial version for a few hours now. Looks like a very welcome upgrade over the 2.x version. However I cannot fully appreciate the way lens corrections module is supposed to work.
I am a nikon user with 28-75 Tamron lens. After setting "custom" lens correction profile and choosing Tamron as lens manufacturer, LR3 accurately suggests my lens model and assigns an existing adobe profile. So far so good. But there is one thing that keeps me from feeling all happy and excited about this new feature: Lightroom would not allow to save different default settings for various focal lengths. For instance, the named above 28-75/2.8 tamron lens has somewhat considerate barrel type distortion at 28mm, and at the same time at its maximum of 75mm geometry distortions are almost non-existent. So while I am happy with how LR3 handles the wide angle distortions, it makes things a lot worse with telephoto range when I apply default lens corrections.
Hence the question: can I somehow make settings in lens corretions module specific to the focal length used? Of course, I would like LR to do that for me, but since it cannot, is there any walkaround? Tweaking settings for each shot is time consuming, and I see no reason not to make this process a little bit more automated.

Adani2, I have encounter similar problems with the same lens on my Canon 1D Mark III (a 1.3x crop camera).
The quick answer to your question is no. There is no setting in Lightroom that allows for correction at a specific focal length, apparently the software is suppose to automatically determine that. I use to have a D80 with the Tamron 28-75 before I switched to Canon. So I decided to process a few shots with LR3 to see if your problem was the same as what I encountered on my 1D3.
I used LR3's lens correction on three pictures, each a different focal length (28, 40, and 75). At the extreme ends, I found 28 and 75 to not vary much from the same image corrected with PTLens (the current progam I use to correct lens distortions). However, at 40 I ran into the same cropping and over correction problem I did with my Canon 1D (albiet it is much worse on the 1D than the D80). It is discussed more in depth here: (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/656057?tstart=30). Below is a picture taken at 40mm (f2.8) with the Tamron 28-75 on my old Nikon D80 with the "corrected" image overlayed on top (opacity 50%):
Before auto aligning of layers in Photoshop:
After auto aligning of layers in Photoshop:
Interestingly, the difference between PTlens and the original image for the above shot is virtually zero which is consistant with reviews about this lens (http://www.photozone.de/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/291-tamron-af-28-75mm-f28-sp-xr-di- ld-aspherical-if-nikon-lab-test-report--review?start=1). Why LR3 believes there is distortion when there isn't any is rather perplexing.
My suggestion, for this lens on a crop body, would be to not bother making any lens corrections except for critical pictures (e.g. architecture) taken around 28mm. The distortions for this lens are, for all practical purposes, negligible on cropped camera bodies.

Lens Detection - SIGMA 18-250mm F3.5-6,3 DC Makro OS HSM

Hi Guys
I recently purchased the lens mentioned above as a universal and travel lens.
I did some shots to day and imported them into LR4.
By Default I always do lens correction when importing but LR4 detects this lens as "18-150" only, no make, no model.
I first thought: "damned, again this problem, I had it with that stupid Tamron lens" .... but the I did an import with the same raw (CR2) pictures in Apple Aperture and I get the correct lens data here:
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help.
andre

Was some kind of a preset (called "Lens Correction") applied at the tiime of import? That is what the first line in the History suggests to me.
However, just because it was called that, does not mean that it has succeeded in correcting the image. Perhaps it was intended to turn on profiled corrections but did not, or perhaps those were turned off subsequently somehow (paste settings, sync, auto-sync, another preset, something of those kinds).
If you want to see the outcome of using that preset at that time. (as opposed to, what happened to the image subsequently) then you can click on that topmost stage in the image History, and see what the various image settings then show. (Important: don't actually adjust anything at all until you have clicked back "forward" again to the lowest entry in the History, or else you will lose all these subsequent History steps.)
When lens profile correction is turned on (either by your LR defaults, as customised by the user, or else by a preset, or else manually) then in order for this profile to be applied to the image, firstly the lens used has to be recognised and associated with a particular profile.
Even if no usable profile is found, though, for a given image - whether manually selected Custom, Auto, or Default (which also pays attention to the user's customised assignments) - the state of this Enable checkbox should persist anyway, AFAIK.
If that was formerly on and then turned off, this will be evident somewhere in the image's full History - provided that survives.
I suppose that if the earliest History of your image pre-dates the introduction of the profiled lens corrections feature, the "Lens Correction" reference may relate to pure manual lens corrections. I used, long ago, to run a series of presets each directly applying barrel, vignetting and CA adjustments which I had "eyeballed" and then saved against one of my lenses. With later versions of LR, it is enough to turn on profiled correction generally, then each image will get whatever is the needed profile applied.
So I now need only one import preset to do that, instead of several antique lens-specific ones (I find it better to do it this way, than through LR processing defaults). But that antique metadata wqould not provide for the enabling of any profile - since such things were not yet heard of at the time - and profiles are not automatically turned on when you bring images up to a newer process version. You would have to actively make that happen - cancelling those earlier manual corrections.

Lens Profile: designating a default.

For my 6D I took the 70-300 VC Tamron as my longer reach walkabout lens. Lightroom has a humongous number of Tamron lens profiles, several of them for every each lens, with some cryptic acronyms. Is there any place where one could find out what they mean?
Furthermore, its always a bit of a hassle to select the proper profile for the 70-300 VC lens. Lightroom always points to the much older non-VC lens. It might be a problem of the EOS-6D and/or Tamron EXIF data itself, that the brand of the lens is not recognized by Lightroom. One has to to select Tamron as the brand manually for every image.
Lightroom points than to "70-300 f/4-5.6 Di A 17E" but there exist also a profile 17N, 17P and 17F. Furthermore, below I see tro profiles for the VC version, and one more for a non-VC 70-300.
SP 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di USD A005S
SP 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD A005E
SP 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD A005N
Maybe the missing VC is a typo only. I take the A005E on a hunch, and I do not see any difference to the A005N. Maybe "E" is for Canon FE mount, and N is for Nikon's F mount?
This lens make and model issue seem to be more complicated: I used to own a 17-35 F/2.8-4 for my Nikons. The D300, and a few years later the D7000 have both recorded lens data in such a way, that Lightroom always assumed that the lens is made by Nikon: The default profile was (Make: Nikon, Model: 17-35 F/2.8-4, Profile: D700 17-35- F/2.8-4). Of course no such lens exist from Nikon, the profile was probably donwloaded by me using the Lens Profile Downloader. Maybe its author was confused about the "make of lens" versus "make of mount". The profile name might be just a string, thus Lightroom does not know that its not a proper profile. But the real mystery starts when I change the 'Make' from Nikon to Tamron: Lightroom selects than the following Adobe made profile(??):
18-200 F/3.5-6.3 DiII A14N
(Of course a battery of profiles for 18-200 exist as well.) Wow, how comes? I noted this with LR3 and LR4 already, no improvement in LR5. A profile for a Tamron 17-35 exist though in the profile list, albeit I think I also downloaded it using the Adobe profile downloader tool:
SP AF Aspherical Di LD [IF] 17-35mm f/2.8-4 o77
That's a long one :-).
I am not sure if all the issues can be resolved, considering the mix of Adobe provided, and user made lens profiles, albeit chosing a 18-200 lens for a 17-35 sure appears like a bug to me.
Can we actually select a default profile to a lens / mount pair, matching the lens in use?
Maybe the trick would be to find the profile files and to remove the profiles of lenses which we do not have?
Thomas.

There are a plethora of Tamron Lens Profiles, because Adobe provide them for Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony. The profiles are quite easy to find and remove, but each time you update/upgrade they will return.
I seem to recall that there have been problems with 3rd party lenses not identifying themselves properly before. I can't remember why, but I'm sure if somebody knows they will post.

Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 has two profiles, which one to use?

Hello
Well my Tamron lens loads in Camera Raw since the latest update, but there are two and by the description sound like the identical lens...
Make: Tamron
Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD (raw)
Profile: Canon 40D (I have an XSi / 450D)
Make: Tamron
Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 DiII A16E (raw)
Profile: Adobe
So what's the difference between these? Camera Raw chooses the Adobe one. Lens Correction leaves me both options because they both match the image sensor size. Is the Adobe one from forum users and the Canon one from Canon?
Thanks

The one profile with the "Adobe" name in it is the official Adobe profiles. They were created in collaboration with Tamron from the lens design data. The other one is created via the normal calibration method using ALPC on a Canon 40D camera.
You could locate the specific profile on the file system by selecting the profile in PS CS5 lens correction filter and go to the flyout menu Show in Finder/Explorer. You could delete the profile that you don't need or simply put a '~' prefix to the lens profile file name. And PS CS5 will ignore loading the profile the next time.You could also do this to a len profile folder name so that the entire folder is skipped for profile scanning.

Missing lens profiles in L4?

Why so litthe of them so far? When will be updatet to at least L3.6 amount?

Lee Jay,
Thank for your prompt reply.
I ordered L4 (box) and try the trial version in the meantime. I need TAMRON 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3DiII VC PZD B008E lens profile, but L4 shows only one Tamron lens profile (SP AF 28-75 mm f/2.8). Is it because it is trial, or the mistake is somewhare else?

Photoshop CS6 No lens profiles (lens correction filter) for Canon 6D raw files

LightRoom and Camera Raw have profiles for Lens Correction and all the current available lens are in the list for the Canon 6D raw files. BUT the Filter/Lens Correction when in Photoshop CS6 only have 2 Tamron lens listed. Odd that there are lens profiles for the Canon 6D raw files in Lightroom and Camera RAW but not CS6 Filter/Lens Correction.
Camera RAW, LR and PS are up to date..... NOTE: I have a Canon 7D, G11 and 1D Mark II N and all their files work as expected. It's only RAW files created by the Canon 6D.
Any suggestions.

To the right of where it says Search Criteria, click the little three-bars-arrow icon and uncheck Match Sensor Size and it should find more.

Lens correction won't automatically detect lens and correct

I'm having a fun time with the lens correction feature in LR 3.2, but it will not auto detect the lens. I have all profiles loaded, I checked. I convert all photos to .dng from the .nef format. (Nikon shooter) When I enable the profile corrections button the setup changes to custom and the lens profile "maker" drop down says none??? and on the bottom it reads "Unable to locate a matching profile automatically." If I change the Make to Tamron by manually selecting it, for example, it finds the profile and all is well. How in the heck do I set it up so the profile connection is enabled automatically and the right lens pops up without intervention?? Hope someone can help with this...I'm working through 500 down selects and this would be nice to fix this issue.
I can see all the lens info in the metadata on the normal library screen????.
Thanks so much for your help in advance!

So you have Tamron lenses...
Here's a quote from a post by Eric Chan (one of LR/ACR developers):
Re: the Sigma 10-20 question. Regrettably, we cannot always automatically determine with 100% certainty the identity of the lens used to shoot the image. We try to be conservative. So if in doubt, we don't choose one automatically. For some third party lenses, this can happen. Choosing Sigma from the Make popup is the right thing to do in this case.
Still, you can try the following trick:
Choose an image shot with a Tamron lens.
Go to lens correction. (The Lens profile auto-detection is supposed to be failed at the moment.)
Choose Tamron and the desired profile from the lists.
Drop down the Setup list and choose "Save New Lens Profile Defaults".
This should rememeber the lens setup (i.e. slider values and lens profile) for the given camera/lens combination.
You can also use a develop preset to apply a lens correction quickly.
