Those ca´s are not as bad as they look like, don`t for get I chose the worst case you can get, metal against the sky!
And the samples are 100% crops so in the whole image they are not so easy to find.


I think that's what I said.....

The CA looks pretty bad on those samples, but I guess that's the worst case scenario.

Excuse my novice question, but can you add a tripod mount to this little lens? My first instinct says no, but I may be wrong.


Yes.
The Tamron tripod collar fits most if not all the Adaptall range. It is well worth seeking but hard to find as most Tamron owners only have one for all their lenses and (Like me) would never sell it.



The tamron collar fits the 54B, 19AH (in front of the aperture ring, zoom range is necessarily restricted), 52A, 85-210mm. The barrels of the earlier CT300 300mm f5.6 and the 60-300mm 23A are slightly smaller; CT200 200mm slightly larger. I don't know if the tamron ring adjusts for these lenses, I've not had one. I use modded cheap rings from china - the 66mm ID ones advertised for Canon 70-200mm lens. More info here
