Did Tamron just make lenses at random and then figure out what the focal length was? They certainly made lenses in just about every combination of F.L. imaginable. And this is another Tamron I haven't got, but I have virtually the same F.L. in other Tamron's. I'm definitely on a Tamron kick at the moment and loving their old zooms, I think they were leading the way back then. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Yep - they covered the field pretty fully in those days.
This is one of the SP range and one of their best from that era.
In the SP range alone there was the 28-80, 28-135 and this one 35-80.
This one is often listed as the best of those three

great lens, I have just gotten one myself, but it flares too much if sun is as intense and at a low angle as now in my area.
Zeiss lenses with T treatment flare as well but to a far lesser extent .
usually such kind of strong sun is not so common, here or elsewhere I guess, so not a big problem |

I find this lens is remarkably good, giving very sharp results, even wide open. (easily good enough for my 36mpx D810) It's only real weakness for me is the amount of flare it can suffer, the vario-sonnar 35-70 f3.4 was better in that respect but otherwise very similar. I've been using it this last week as it happens.

I've been using my 22A 35-135 / 3.5-4.2 and 17A 35-70 / 3.5 a lot recently, both are great walkabout lenses with the 19AH 70-210 / 3.5.
My 59A 28-70 / 3.5-4.5 has just been thrown in my scrap box, it was a crap lens, and has just seized solid. It's one of the later Tamrons, a horrid thing in every respect, and I won't grieve when it gets broken for parts. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Today I brought in my first Tamron SP 26A. It was a nice find for under US$10.
But with resolution equal to a 01A? I don't think so. The 01A is a really sharp lens. |

Took this lens on an outing recently as my only lens companion.
I have usually used it on my Canon film cameras, but on this occasion it was on Fujifilm X-E1.
I was happy with its results
