Tamron / T-mount adapters

j.lukow · Expire: 2021-11-25

Besides eBay are there any other sources for tamron/t-mount adapter - particularly minolta?

From eBay sources they seem pricey and if their reasonable priced then s+h is brutal? Shocked

I'll be getting a tamron that isn't minolta and I don't know how I feel about juggling adapters Confused

As usual any help's appreciated!

Make sure you get the right one. There's T, T2, T4 then you've got adaptall and adaptal 2.

If you've got a local camera store they'll often have a box of secondhand odds and ends including adapters.

Some mail order secondhand stockists sell them too.

Are you sure you have a T mount lens? Most Tamrons are not T mount, and most T mounts are not Tamron. Other Tamron interchangeable mount systems were the Adapt-a-Matic, Adaptall and Adaptall 2 (and Tamron also made some lenses that did not have interchangeable mounts).

There's no meaningful difference between T and T2; T4 and TX are completely different animals, but those did not come on Tamron lenses.

If you do need a T mount, you might try a telescope shop, Edmund Scientific, maybe someplace like Porter's Camera (www.porters.com) or B&H.

Jim, I have a mint Minolta M/MD AD-2 mount which I don't require. (Also a Konica and Praktica B mount). They came on lenses I bought so there aren't any original boxes, but they have the rear caps. PM me if you're interested Smile
