I am SO pleased I found this thread! I have been trying to identify the lens I bought off eBay about a year ago. The closest I have got until now is thinking it's a 670Au but it doesn't look quite like any of the 3 variants I have seen. It does, however, look exactly like the Auto Rokunar here, but it is branded Auto Tamron and has a Nikon mount (well, it was sold to me as Nikon mount and it certainly does fit). I was also thrown by the fact it came with a rear cap which says 'For Pentax K' and an Adaptall-2 front cap. So, perhaps this is one of the unknown variants. I will post pictures soon.
Can I use this with teleconverters? And if so, what would people recommend? |

Glad the information was helpful! Please do post a photo of your lens if you can.
I can't say for sure how well this lens does with teleconverters... I only have two, a 3x Soligor, and a 2x macro focusing Vivitar, neither of which would really be good matches for this lens... I tried the Vivitar when I did those test shots last year, but I remember that I didn't have enough light for it...

Here are some pictures of my Auto Tamron 300mm f/5.6. If this is a straight-up Adapt-A-Matic model 670Au I would be pleased, though the focus barrel doesn't look like the model on the Adaptall-2 website.

Hi Timmy,
It looks like one of the many undocumented fixed mount variants of many Tamron lenses.
I would say this is most likely a 670au all the way back to the mount, which seems to be fixed, not Adaptamatic.
Adaptamatics themselves were made with two styles of focus grips - earlier ones were ribbed metal, later ones were rubber.

Thanks for your help. Can I use any old Nikon teleconverter with this? |

I guess any older Nikon-mount TC will work.
The newer AI/AIS TC's may not work as this isn't an AI mount. But you never know, you would have to try them to be certain. I have one of these that seems to work with some old lenses.

Yes, and the rear of that lens looks identical to the fixed mount on my Aetna Rokunar. In terms of the Tamron lineup, yours is definitely the closest one to mine!
