as per above quote lens rental guys "The most common ‘dusters’ among current lenses all happen to be primes that don’t zoom at all"
The recent tamron lenses are sealed at least ones for mirrorless. I don't think zooming will be cause it to be a dust pump.
been using lenses like 100-400mm and 24-105mm for a while now. No issues with dust.
TBH I've never had an issue with other extending zooms, but with the 150-600mm you could actually hear and feel the suction it created I was going to send it back to Tamron for a free clean (I think it was almost an admission of the problem) but I got a decent trade in price so never bothered. It was especially odd as I thought that lens was supposed to be weather sealed, but if you saw how much dust it pulled in it didn't fill you with confidence. For what it's worth though it never affected image quality.
YepI'm guessing it will be MF?
Is this cheap and cheerful charger from Duracell decent enough?

I'm not sure about Canon EF and RF but I don't think many (if any) Nikon f-mount are weather sealed, I doubt Sony APS-C e-mount are, and numerous m4/3 primes aren't eitherHe says current lenses. So I take it he isn't talking primes from long back

Aye......His missus is smoking....
That hasn't been my experience at all.
Funny enough Tamron offered me the same option with both of the gen 1 and gen 2 70-200 lenses. I ended up just selling them on as well.
I didn't have their 24-70 f/2.8 but I know a few people that did and they similar issues with it sucking in large clumps of dust and hairs. All of those were supposed to be weather sealed as well.
Every lens has dust inside but for some reason the Tamrons would suck in large clumps, have never had that with any of the other lenses I have had, other than a Samyang 45mm that arrived new and straight out of the box had large clumps.
I can sort of see how primes might attract more dust purely because prime users will change lenses more and the rear element will be exposed more often but I cant really think of any I have had that had issues other than the Samyang I mentioned above which was obviously a factory issue.
That's a bit cheeky.....Is his Mrs the pretty lady in the vid with the rear the size of China?
I have seen a bunch of picture from him and I do like good majority of them. But good photographers don't always make great reviewers and vice versa
Very true, he's also tried out and reviewed some Fuji bodies tooI have seen a bunch of picture from him and I do like good majority of them. But good photographers don't always make great reviewers and vice versa

I had the opposite with the Nikon’s, my 70-200mm had no dust inside and was used a lot, and one of my 24-70mm’s had some ‘normal’ dust in and then one large piece.I don't think ive had a lens that didnt have dust over time, my Nikon 85 1.4G had a fair bit including one large piece as did my 70-200vr2(which was used a handful of times) but neither showed in images that I could see.
I think my 24-70 actually had the least and it was my most used lens and was extending.
I did hear that the 28-75 and 17-28 were both showing signs of sucking in dust, though I haven't checked mine.

Two from the garden today before Archie the schnauzer decided to join me in the hide!
Tonight we should have been in Lesvos for the Greek Easter celebrations. Your pictures are making me grumpy.
I should have gone to Mexico at the end of March, I was gutted but now I think the refund will be far more useful,..... when it finally gets paid into my bank.So many people gutted about their holidays getting canceled, sorry mate
They're making me grumpy now as since coming back to this nightmare in the UK all I wanna do is go back to Hong Kong.

Wow that really sucks, don’t they have a similar travel protection over there then?Yeah we were lucky that China was the first place to be on the advisory so we got a refund weeks before it kicked of here.
Woman my wife works with had a villa in France I think it was for the whole family including some coming from Canada and they have refused to refund for it [emoji15] seem to be happening with a lot of them though.
To be fair the genuine charger does charge at a quicker rate than any of the third party options and I have tried a few. If you are charging a lot of batteries regularly like I do they are the best option.
Although I have now got 4 of the Sony chargers have often considered getting one of these but it's difficult to justify the cost for just a charger.

135mm, 100mm, some kind of a AF macro?
May be even a f1.2 AF prime?
