What a little gem the postman has brought.
I certainly have never seen a Tamron lens like this before now. Any guesses as to age?
All the bits...
come in a leather case. When fully assembled it's a 225mm telephoto about 15cm in length
with almost circular aperture...

I follow with the doubt. Why TC with 1,6 x ?
Physics or technology limits to do a good TC in this time. Well, why not 1,5x or 1,4 x to lose only one aperture.
It has to be measured !!!

Writing on the side of the TC says 1:7.7 No idea of the maths needed to work out what aperture loss this represents. Haven't tried my TC yet..... |

Just to make you jealous, I think I have every bit it ever came with, including the custom case. There are all the caps (screw-in metal ones) as well as the two mounts and the sunshade. A little gem |

 alright, I have at least the two most important pieces, the TC and the m42 screw mount
This lens fascinate me, it's one of those weird lenses I just have to look at over and over again, so different.
I'm curious about how much money you had to spend for the lens with all the pieces?

It's a neat little thing. Looks a bit out of place on my 5D but it's very cute. I like zebra lenses, so I had to pay just under £20 (inc shipping) for it off flea-bay. It's going on the middle shelf of the cabinet amongst my "never get rid of these" lenses . Grease inside is almost solid but I don't really want to take it apart to clean it because this is one I'd rather not butcher. |

It definitely says "TWIN-TELE" around the front of the barrel on mine. Maybe it is a transition between the two? |

Tamron marked their lenses differently for different markets, I have also seen samples marked "Converto" too; it's just better to be more specific, to tell between the two very different versions. |

BOTH types (2.8 and 4.5) went under several names
"Converto" - I have both the 4.5 and the 2.8 sets under this name.
"Twin Tele"
"Duo-Tamron"
Maybe more
And then there are the ones with merchants brands - Taika, Spectra, etc.
Soligor too.
