Hi Guys,

I just got a Like New Tamron 24-70 G1 lens from KEH. I can feel that the internal elements of the lens move a little when I turn the lens upside down. I haven't owned this lens before.

Could you please let me know if this is usual with this version of the lens?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time!

Ankur

Probably the VC mechanism, but I don't have one in front of me. If the lens works as expected and is sharp across the frame I probably wouldn't worry about it too much.

Thanks! I won't have a body until Wednesday next week to test it out.

I have not noticed it with Tamron 24-70, but I did notice it with Tamron 90mm VC. Was wondering about it too. I would say that VC on 90mm is rather unreliable. The 24-70 had to go for service two or three times before VC was tuned to my liking.

I would guess the same, VC may move a little if you shake the lens. I never noticed it on mine, I now have the G2 version so I can't confirm on the G1.

I don’t know exactly what’s inside the Tamron but it may be similar. I have a Sigma 150-600 Sport that I have been working on repairing. The VR is electromagnetic but it has a little motor that will drive the VR element in a locked central location when it goes to sleep or is turned off. If the camera was turned off while VR was still active the element would be free to rattle about a bit. That may be what you have in your case.

Arjun, I would advise caution. If possible ask them to test it out. My 24-70 , the older vision had the front element fall outta place. I had to pay to get it fixed. Hope it's not a problem later. Good Luck. Peace. Pete

I bought the Tamron 24-70 G1 from eBay couple weeks ago. It has front focus issue. I have to set -15 in the my d750 fine-tune. I contacted Tamron USA about servicing it. I was told the cost would be $250+. Now that I can correct it with fine-tune, I can live with it.
The zoom-ring has a little bit play. But it doesn't affect the image quality.
