Old T-mount Tamron Tele Lenses - my collection

[luisalegria]

Not the best pictures unfortunately.

These are my old 1950's-1960's first generation Tamron-made tele prime lenses; mine come in different brands - Soligor, Aetna and Tamron.



L-R -

135/4.5 Tamron Twin-tele Mini-T mount
135/3.5 Soligor Mini-T mount
135/2.8 Soligor (note different finish)
180/3.5 Soligor
200/3.5 Aetna
250/4.5 Soligor



L-R -

200/6.3 Tamron
300/5.6 Aetna
350/5.6 Soligor
400/6.9 Tamron

This is not a complete collection of course; I have not included some zooms or automatic lenses and there are some common and rare lenses I still do not have.

Notably missing -

35/2.8 and possibly a 35/3.5 T-mount. The 35/2.8 is not rare but I have not positively ID'ed a Tamron-made unit.

The exotic 58/1.2 and 200/2.8 usually found under the Taika brand

The 200/5.9 and 300/6.9, which I have never seen.

The huge 400/5.6, one of the prizes I am looking for.

The 400/7.5. 400/8 and 450/8. I may have the 450/8, but I'm not sure its actually the Tamron-made unit.

Taika is here Click here to see on Ebay but I think that you will not buy it, special from this seller

Hi Voytek,

Nope, for sure I'm not going near that !

They've had that out there for a year I think.

We should not knock these sellers that over price their items. It is good to have such nice pictures of these "rare" items for our amusement. And after all, the pictures stay up for a very long time too. I might add that if any of my "rare" lenses get stolen, I can always use these guys prices to establish the value to the insurance co. I wish I could list my items at these prices and not be embarrassed.
