After recently droping my camera and damaging my standard 18-55mm lens I've just bought a used one off Ebay which seemed good value (£31). The lens has seemed to work fine, however I hadn't tried it with flash until later today!
The fastest shutter speed I can seem to get is 1/45th often just a 1/30th, clearly something is wrong!
Has anyone experienced this? Is there something obvious I'm not doing? Or have I just bought a lemon!

PS This could teach me not to be to keen to leave feedback!!

I have only seen the mark SP on Tamron lenses. And I know on these lenses it means Special Product. And no.......they aren't weather sealed.
Look here and scroll down for info.

Which is best for 1:1 macro work with the Adaptall 90mm SP f2.5 (52B), extension tube or 2x Teleconverter?
Does any one have an Adaptall extension tube that is surplus to requirements?

Hee hee! You may not get both
Which camera model do you have?
Maybe an older flash coupled with a cheap radio trigger would suffice. It'll be wireless, but not P-TTL + wireless, you'll have to go manual
Thanks for the link to the guide Kris.

What alternatives are there to the Pentax/Samsung flashguns for my GX10?
I'm looking for value for money and wireless.

And I'm looking at a Red Snapper tripod that another member recommended to me. Can anyone else recommend a good sturdy (reasonably light) tripod that will allow me to get down low for macro photography at a good price?
Cheers

I have the PKA mount for the Tamron 19AH, I'm assuming therefore as that one allows shutter priority this one will. But I have been told that I shouldn't always assume things!

I've used the lens with my 50-200mm and it has been fine.
With regard to the X setting I did get 1/180th of a second!
Any other thoughts?
