I just purchased this lens. Do I need to turn the OS OFF every time I attach or detach this lens?

No. I would turn the camera off though when changing lenses though. The switches on the lens don't make any difference because the lens gets it power from the camera so turning the camera off is sufficient.

Yes, from what I read when I purchased this lens, that's what it said to do'. You only need to turn off for a minute or so before detaching a lens.

I have seen it recommended, although I generally do not, with no ill effects so far. I worked as a wedding/event photographer for 10 years, never once turning a camera or lens off to swap, and never had a failure. It is important to turn OS off if the camera if mounted on a tripod. Small vibrations are amplified, fooling the sensor into thinking there is more movement that exists. This will degrade your image quality.

there is normally a small set screw you need to loosen, it's around where the lens cover meets the main housing. The lens cover will pull off. there is a O ring to keep it water tight that sometimes makes it hard to come apart. it does just pull straight apart.

Hello Martin, Go to your menu and navigate to the number one page. You'll see "Release w/o Lens", change that to enable and you're set! Hope that helps!

Usually Sony says to use their over the lens, but you can turn off stabilization through the menus. By Default it stays on. I actually like the Sony stabilization better then my signma lens' but that's personal preference.

No. But you won't need to. The zoom on this lens is 24-720mm, which is awesome. I can actually zoom in better than with my previous, detachable lenses. And the sharpness of this lens will practically cut your fingers, it's so sharp.

I have probably taken over 1000 pictures since my purchase of lens. I have not heard this problem. Call Tamron and speak with them. This is the second one I have

If the lens doesn't retract all the way, slide a piece of paper in between the lens barrels. Try turning it on. This fixed mine tonight. I think the lens wasn't seated properly.Don't do this unless you are sure it's out of warranty.

i focus with the lens attached without problem. While using the close-up lens, i prefer manual focus. Read http://www.eos-magazine.com/articles/macro/closefocus.html to learn more about focus using close-ups

No OS, and the lens would not get very sharp. Ended up getting rid of it. Sorry!

Slide the the little silver button towards the camera. This will release the mount from your lens.

What I have found works is turn off the power, take out the battery and the SD card. Wait at least a minute, and put them back in. The lens should retract. Always make sure your camera is fully charged, and when taking pictures, make sure all the icons on the display in back are not displayed. Hope this helps.

There is a button on the side of the-adapter, you need to pull out or push in to un mount the lens

On all of the canons I have owned it works this way:There should be a rubber piece around the eyepiece. It usually slips off by pushing it up. Take that piece off and slip this lens in its place. You won't need the rubber piece anymore.

Answering my own question after some research. In the menu, when this lens is installed, it says that lens distortion is disabled. According to what I have read, lens distortion correction is permanently enabled; the ability to turn it on and off is what is disabled.

Dear, Yes, I have the same problem. The only way to open & close the lens is with the switch on & off botton. KR

Yes, the lens retracts when you turn the camera off. With the lens retracted, the camera is so small you can slip it in a pocket or small section of a purse.

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......
