Subject: New Lens, Same Story?
I cannot believe that I could have gotten three bad ones in a row. What a disappointment.
What frustration.
Joe, I don't think its possible to get three flawed lenses in a row, even from Pentax. I would certainly be looking at other factors.
1/500 second is still shooting at the sync speed is, so don't let that fool you.
Try wrapping the tripod legs with a bungee cord to dampen any singing.
Better still, try a different tripod, preferably a wood one.
Don't extend the legs of the tripod, nor the column if it has one.
Attaching the tripod to the camera is always going to produce less vibration effect than attaching the tripod to the lens.
