Please place in this thread links that are of general interest for manual focus photography and equipment (that is, not dedicated only to a specific lens or camera model).
The links must be only of non-commercial nature. Exception is made only for the official websites of lens companies. For all other kinds of commercial links, please use the Marketplace section.
If you post a reply with some links and wish to add more later, please do not add a new reply, edit your first reply instead.
Thank you. _________________ Orio, Administrator

All about Tamron lenses
http://www.adaptall-2.com
One of the most useful information source on the Internet from Tamron lenses.
This web site provides information about vintage Tamron manual focus T mount, Adapt-A-Matic, Adaptall, F-system, Adaptall-2 and SP Adaptall-2 lenses. Currently this web site primarily focuses on Tamron SP and Adaptall-2 lenses which were introduced from 1979 to 1989 but also includes a wealth of additional information and links to other related and interesting web sites. In a compulsive fit of nostalgia, we have tried to present this Web site in a fashion which is reminiscent of Tamron's catalogs from the early to middle 1980s, and have tried to use themes and colors which are similar to the engraved colored markings found on vintage Adaptall-2 and SP lenses. This web site is relatively new and will be expanded in the future to include additional out-of-production Tamron products.

Update announcement:
There is a very good news, the Pebble Place web site is back online.
http://www.pebbleplace.com
It is a very useful resource as it contains detailed databases about Contax (Zeiss) and Leica-R lenses and their compatibility with Canon EOS cameras (and the full frame models in particulars, such as the 5D).
You will find in the first post of this thread the direct links to the resources, I just added them to my listing. _________________ Orio, Administrator
