Just got this cute little old Tammy 135mm. It looks like it had an old Tamron Adaptall mount because the newer Adaptall adaptor won't work. I got this lens in Minolta SRT mount. It has a nice bluish coating. Here are some photos taken wide open.

Lovely colours 
Sounds like the Adaptamatic version to me! Does it have a silver screw in holder over the Minolta mount?

There supposedly isn't a 135/3.5 Adaptall or Adaptamatic. The Adaptall site doesn't mention it, neither does Tamron.
However, there are many lenses missing from what is documented about Tamron lenses, several people on mflenses have shown these.
It would be interesting to see this lens. It could be a rare one.

Its hard for me to explain here, the SRT adaptor unlike the modern ones, u need to unscrew the silver ring to remove it. I will try to get a shot of the lens tomorrow.

I agree, it sounds like an Adaptamatic.
But if it is, it is not mentioned by Tamron or the Adaptall site.
So it might be a "rare" version.

In the parts/junk/crap basket in the old shop, I found few Tamron Adaptall lenses, the common ones like those with BBAR zoom lenses but this piece stoods out like a sore thumb. One is because of its small size and two because the shape and number color looks interesting.
So its the piece of history I concluded ?

Definitely an Adaptamatic.
Definitely a rare piece, undocumented by Tamron. I also have not seen it in any Tamron sales materials or advertising of the time.
It must have been made in the later series of Adaptamatics, because of the rubber grip.
You certainly have a collectors item !

Dang, I overlooked a 135mm F3.5 in F mount a while back because there were no pictures of the mount end.

I agree with you about it being a later generation due to the rubber grip and because of the open metering capability. I wonder if the gearing on the Minolta mount corresponds to the later Pentax m42 mount for the ESII and Spotmatic F. I don't know Minolta that well.

I envy you guys that have shops with used gear and these "junk" bins. I don't have anything like that within 500 miles of me.
