Tamron patent for 115mm f1.4 and it's full frame

**Tas** · 08-24-2016, 03:18 PM

I came across this brief mention of a patent lodged by Tamron: The latest patents applications from Tamron, Sigma, Panasonic, Fuji and Canon | Photo Rumors

With recent collaborative efforts between Tamron and Pentax I thought this was worth a post here.

Not sure i'd like to try manually focussing this thing wide open.

Mmmmhhh.... the medium telephoto for 2017 of the roadmap? Anyway, i dont thin i could afford the lens

someone must get crazy... 6lb maybe? 112mm filter? $$5000?

It could be an awesome portrait lens. Tamron has done very well with its high end SP primes lenses recently. Ricoh has a medium Tele on the roadmap for 2017.

Sounds like a very interesting lens.

Tamron patents for a 20mm f2 lens and a 70-200 f4 lens were also reported in recent weeks.

Tamron 20mm F2 VC ?????????????So-net???
Tamron 70-200mm F4 VC?????????????So-net???

That latter one has a few variations. It strikes me that any of these would be welcomed in K-mount, one way or the other.

I am not sure I would expect acceptable AF performance either.

would like to see it as a FA 115/1.4 Ltd. if the Designer is Jun Hirakawa ;-)

You're probably right there Steve.

I thought it an interesting lens as its design is quite narrow in scope, but then, I've lusted after the Zeiss 2/135 for quite sometime and at the end of the day there's probably not a lot of difference outside of the obvious AF v MF, all metal, $$$ etc

Come to think of it I'd actually love to try one of these Tamrons now.

Don't worry, they won't make it in a Pentax mount.

Sandy Hancock · 08-25-2016, 04:05 AM

If it could be done at f/1.8 at a sensible size I'd be interested.
Then again, just revamp the A*135/1.8 as a DFA and everything would be right with the world.

Have you ever think to try the Samyang 135 f2 ?
It's pretty muche same size, weight, and spec. Just wondering if anyone used this lens often ?

RenierJVV · 08-25-2016, 07:08 AM

Make sense to get the same FOV using K-1 with 115mm than Crop Body (say K-3) with FA 77mm (I.E 77*1.5 = 115) ya?

115mm/1.4 = about 82.2mm

Perhaps (just) an 86mm filter?
