The lens is heavy thanks to its metal construction and 17 elements in 10 groups. Whilst in &#8216;normal&#8217; mode the minimum focus distance is 2m, this is shortened considerably in macro mode &#8211; which is engaged by pressing a small button.<\/p>\n<div

Buy-it-now prices tend to be rather high. The lens is readily available as it also fits other Adaptall 2 lenses. It seems to be a reasonably respected lens from online comments and reviews.<\/p>\n<h3>Performance and handling<\/h3>\n<p>I only used this lens briefly as it was during a period when I had a lot of lenses on the go. It was a nicely built lens with a great range, but I really need to pick up another copy to really comment on whether it was any good or not.<\/p>\n<h3>Sample Images<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The Tamron Adaptall-2 28-135mm f4-4.5 is a 4.8x zoom lens, moving from a wide angle to moderate telephoto.
