Hi guys!

It just happend the last day that I used my Adaptall 70-210 3.8-4 46A a lot!

Here are some shots! Again a cheap but great lens which got even better on the 40D compared to the D200!

The ultimate Answer! Double...




Some kind of window


Some flowers




On the wall


Coming towards me


Teapot in the sky


bookehlicious



Instructions to a sceptical audience


Enjoy!

3rd flower is my fav - the earth tone background fits perfect

Teapot in the sky is the winner of the group. I like the way the teapot hangs in the picture.

You know it's weird, composition wise the first image is so simple, but I love how the bricks look. The tone and rendering of them is just perfect. Thank you for the samples.

Thanks guys!

The colors of this lens are really nice! All of these pictures where taken using auto WB and I haven't tweaked it afterwards!

Such a great lens and super shots! This lens is sharp and great value for money, biggest problem is that it tends to sell for more than the 80-210/3.8-4 103A as people get confused between the 46A and the SP lenses Confused

This lens has been tested quite good by german fotomagazin (in 1987/1988).
Good sharpness, at the long end the contrast getting a bit (too) low (with full frame) in the corners - may not be visible on crop/aps-dslr.

Maybe the former 3.8-4/80-210 which has been built even stronger/better has been better or worse.
I had found a personal comparison on film slr with a Nikon 80-200 and the guy stated that the Tamron was even better.

I had the Tamron years ago and found it to be a very good portrait lens!
- and found the test result concerning contrast at the long end to be true.
But on dslr you can raise contrast - and sharpness is good enough!

The 46a is a good zoom, I also have the 103a and am not sure which is better...also have the 03a.

I did try most of the Tamron lenses most of them pretty good , no matter SP or older one. Only a few what I found weak performer and was probably just actual copy , due other members had positive experience with them.

I think Canon have newer processor which is means a lot.
