Thought some may find it interesting for an earlier lens list.

Interestingly the Disconinued Adaptal-2 mounts do not have Olympus or Canon.
But thanks anyway.

Interesting - just up (says ©2021) ? The sigma history pages have been up for years. The lens models featured in the year list just seem to be a selection (I would like to find that 400mm f5.6 - never seen it). It's a pity there are no links to model details, you can find links to a lot of those on adaptall-2.com

Which 400 f5,6 do you mean ? There are quite a few.

I think the EF models have only been made by third parties, but I see you're right FD & OM are missing too.

The oldest one I've got is a near mint 910P Zoom 95-205 / 6.3 from 1961, which isn't a bad lens. I think it was the first zoom lens? Could be wrong about that...

Tamron were certainly pioneers in the industry though.

Tamron did make an EF mount, I have one and Ould like more. It's nice, really solid and locks on better than the Chinese ones I've tried.

For what it's worth, as well as OM, FD and EF they also miss Minolta MD, Contax/Yashica and Praktica bayonet...

Sadly enough, this rehashed history site gives less information than before on old lenses. Check http://www.adaptall-2.com T-mount lenses and you will find that the links to a description of a lens are dead now. I have not been able to find this info on the new site. Sad

Cheers,
Jan

That is strange, I tried that earlier today, and it did work, but it doesn't now. I liked those earlier pages too, they gave information such as the number of elements and groups in the lens design.

The Adaptall-2 site does say on it's home page that it's not affiliated with Tamron in any way. Fan produced content is often much better than OEM stuff on discontinued products, I suppose there's no money in supporting discontinued products (but they could link to the modern replacement).

I find it strange any new lens history site isn't a product of our active or passive member Smile.

The cool zebra striped 1960 one, model 340, which on reflection I did see it once and it bid up out of my range. Actually thats the only 400mm f5.6 tamron I know of, the other t-mount ones are f8, f7.5 or f6.9, then there's the vaunted SP adaptall f4 (which I have actually - here's a lens porn pic for your delection, + diy long plate..).
PS links off adaptall-2.com (t-mounts etc ) working for me in firefox.

The information is still living in the Tamron site. The pages are from 2001 and have not been updated since.
