Adaptall-2 Interchangeable Mount System

Tamron stands apart from other lens manufacturers with its use of an interchangeable mount system instead of a fixed-mount. Fixed-mount lenses are limited to use on cam- eras using that specific mount system. Tamron’s interchangeable Adaptall mounts mean you can use the lens on virtually any manual-focus SLR camera. In fact, Tamron offers approximately 20 different mounts useable with some 200 35mm SLRs.

Adaptall-2 Mounts are available for:

• Canon FD/FT Series

• Leica R4 Series

• Pentax ES/Spotmatic Series

• Rollei SL-35/Voightlander

• Contax/Yashica Series

• Mamiya ZE Series

• Pentax K Series

VSL Series

 

• Fujica ST Series

• Minolta MD/SR Series

• Pentax Super-A Series
