FotodioX Pro Tamron-EOS Adaptall 2 Review: Reviving Vintage Tamron Lenses on Modern Canon Cameras

  A few weeks ago i ran a quick search on chatGPT just to see what AI thinks are some of the top searched vintage lenses available today at a budget price.  One of the lenses that came up was this Tamron Adaptall 2 80-210 mm lens.  This lens only cost $23.  It came with an awesome case.  I needed an adapter so I borrowed this Tamron Adaptall – EOS lens adapter from FotodioX Pro.  This adapter shoots both Adaptall and Adaptall-2 lenses.

User Experience:

• The shots were super sharp on this lens/adapter combo.  For the price i paid for the lens, i loved what i got.  This is one of the “you dont have to spend top dollar to get good results” saying.  It just works and you get lovely shots.  I shot this with a Canon 1DX and Canon 1D MK IV.  No issues.  The solid build ensured a secure fit, with no noticeable play between the adapter and the camera body. Focusing was precise, and the optical performance of the adapted lenses remained sharp, making it a great choice for photographers looking to bring classic glass into the digital age.
