| Latest Review Posted | Tamron Adaptall (CT-105) 105mm F2.5
This is my Tamron from the 1970's, originally used on a Canon AE-1 (with FD mount) I got a KA mount for it some ago....didn't find much use for it on my K5 or K3, but if is a joy to use with my K1. Quite substantial in construction, and compact, this lens has a smooth focus action, and also nice buttery bokeh wide open. It is pretty sharp but does suffer from red/green CA. Usable at f2.5, I find 105mm to be a useful medium telephoto. I use a rubber lens hood but this does not seem to be too bad for flare. I can't remember how much I paid for it back in 1976(ish) but as it still works40 years later I am giving it 10/10 for value!
