Tamron SP-200 SP-200F - same thing?!

Well now this is interesting (if you're into Tamron Adaptall-2 and SP lenses of course Wink).

I have picked up a Tamron SP-200 teleconverter. Now this is a model not documented by adaptall-2.org, but seemingly the same as the rather hard to find SP-200F. Unfortunately, because the SP-200F copies are rather thin on the ground, there isn't a lot of info available. Someone on pentaxforums has a SP-200F with a serial beginning with 5. Mine begins with 4...I wonder if there is a link to the model number?

Anyway, without further ado, here is the teleconverter in question:





Once the weather cheers up, I will test this with the only compatible lens I have left, the SP 500/8 mirror 55BB.

And then there were two! Judging by my copy's serial number, there were at least 228 more as well Wink

Thanks for sharing Smile

I also have the SP200 serial # 4000119, would also like any info or current price,if you can find one, appear to be quite rare.

i think tamron made more. may be each batch 5-600 pieces

i just got my 200f. serial starts with 6...
it was bundled with the 300/2.8 model 60b in one package.
the seller keep the lens and let me keep the tc.
so there is no dedicate case for it.

Can anyone do a comparison between this and the 01F on a 60B/360B?

It is worth noting that the 200/200F were made specifically for the models: 60B-65B (according to Tamron on their "discontinued" page). If you read the hyphen as 60B "through" 65B then that would also include the model 63B (SP 180mm f2.5 LD-IF). The 140F was the 1.4x teleconverter made specifically for those same lenses. The 60B is the SP 300mm f2.8 LD-IF and the 65B is the SP 400mm f4 LD-IF.

These are highly rated TCs for those long lenses. I believe that comparing them to the 01F would be an apples to oranges comparison.

Thanks cheeky geek, I have the 01Fx2,140F and 200 tc,s and 60B,63B,65B and 31A 200-500 f5.6.,(pic below)



We are having some nasty weather here in Western Canada so as soon as it improves I will test all lenses and TC,s and post pics for comparison.

Is this a proper AD2 TC? I bought a 2x converter with my 500mm 55BB mirror lens, but mine was Canon FD mount, so I can't use mine with my Nikon D600.

Yes.all 3. The 01F for Tamron 90mm f2.5 macro 1-2 to turn it to 1-1 and the 140F and200-200F for the 4 others mentioned. see
