I can't fault them and the lens is very impressive very sharp with nice bokeh which a lot of Tamrons from that era also have. The colours also look good.

You might find a 50mm handier for getting in close or your 28mm to get really close.

Sounds like a problem with contacts somewhere and because it's the same on several bodies it must be the lens. Possibly just needs some internal contacts cleaning. Send it back.

I've never had to format a card. They have always been ready formatted. I just delete the files on the PC when I copy them over. All my cards have other files stored on them as well, usually details of the lens which I copy over to the HDD with the image files. Sometimes I even put a custom ICON on certain cards.

The only time a gadget such as a camera needs to format a new card is if it can't handle the full capacity of the card and/or needs a format size that is exactly a multiple of the capacity of a cylinder (rare).

If you do have a problem it's better to try a format in camera.

A full format and secure wipe of the card can be done with the SD Formatter 4.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC originally by Panasonic, but also released by the SD Association...
