I didn't know that Tamron made all those lenses for all those company's. Somehow not all the fanboys of all those company's panic or freakout about such things. They just buy lenses and use them.
I am not sure why you care either way, Ron. Let's just be clear though that the Pentax has said that Tamron makes the 15-30, 24-70 and 18-270. Pentax has said that they make the rest of their lenses themselves. When others say that they are unable to design a top end lens like the DFA * 50 and it must be from another maker, it is problematic.
Beyond which, none of the lenses you mentioned are top end lenses. No one really cares who makes or designs lower tier lenses. On the other hand, show up on a Sony Forum and tell them that their G Master lenses were designed by Samyang or Tamron and see what response you get.
