Hey everyone,

I own a RS2 pro combo and today I got the new Tamron 35-150mm. Currently I'm trying to get the focus motor work for the zoom. However the zoom on the Tamron is pretty stiff and also I had to do some tweaking to align the focus motor on the zoom ring. Maybe the angle for the motor isn't right or it's too tight pressed against the lens/ring, however when I try to zoom it does only move a little. Could it be that the motor isn't strong enough for stiff zooms?
I'm also using the Tilta advanced ring grip, so if the focus motor of the pro combo isn't strong enough my only alternative would be the tilta nucleus m, which is quite expensive.
Or is there a way to make the zoom "softer" so it isn't so stiff anmyore?
best wishes
