We are all aware that not very long ago, all third-party Sony lenses were limited to 15 frames per second burst speed or continuous speed. Beyond that, they were not allowed to do continuous autofocus in every frame. But from the past year, Sony has changed its policy, and all the new third-party lenses coming from Tamron and Sigma support higher frame rates burst cycles with continuous autofocus support. Additionally, the older lenses are also getting continuous updates from the lens makers to make them compatible with cameras like the Sony A9 Mark III.
TAMRON Lens Firmware Update
Enhances AF Performance
During Zooming and Supports Continuous Shooting with Sony α9 III
For 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065)
Commack, NY, November 25, 2024 – TAMRON announces a new firmware update scheduled for release on November 25, 2024, at 11PM ET for the TAMRON 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065) for Sony E-mount.
With this new firmware update, AF performance during zooming is improved when shooting videos and still images in AF-C mode. Additionally, with the Sony α9 III, when the focus mode is set to AF-S, DMF, or MF, the lens will support continuous shooting at up to approximately 120 frames per second.

Canon R5 Mark II camera tops the sales ranking of Sep 2024 in Japan. Japan MAP camera ranking top list here
1st place Canon EOS R5 Mark II
2nd place Canon EOS R6 Mark II
3rd place FUJIFILM X-T5
4th place SONY α7C II
5th place FUJIFILM X-T50
6th place Nikon Z f
7th place RICOH GR III
8th place SONY α7IV
9th place DJI Osmo Pocket 3
9th place Nikon Z6III
- The EOS R5 Mark II, which placed third in the previous ranking, has finally taken first place, one month late. The number of preorders is still far short, and a long wait is expected, but it still managed to take first place with a slight lead over the second place model. The ranking will likely be decided by the number of units in stock.
- In third place is the “X-T5”. Last time, it made a comeback and took the top spot, but this time it lost to the Canon models. Still, its popularity remains unchanged.
- In fourth place is the “α7C II”. While sales figures for other models such as the α7IV and α7RV tend to be heavily influenced by campaigns, this is the only model that has consistently been popular. It is also popular among foreign tourists.
- In sixth place is the “Z f”. Nikon’s Z8, which had been a regular on the rankings up until this point, suddenly disappeared. There was no particular supply shortage, so it feels like a really sudden event. The Z6III, which took the top spot by a long way when it first appeared in July, unexpectedly dropped to 10th place the following August. The Z6III was sluggish again this year, and the Z8 has fallen out of the rankings, so one can’t help but think of Nikon’s declining popularity.
The EOS R5 Mark II only made it to third place on its first appearance due to a supply shortage, but it has risen to first place in its second month, so it seems like a fair number of units are being supplied. However, it seems the serious supply shortage situation continues, so it’s difficult to predict where it will rank in the future.
