    Overview

    The Tamron 75-250mm f/3.8-4.5 Adaptall-2 (model 04A/104A) is a lightweight, well-handling zoom with smooth manual focusing. Optically, it offers good sharpness, especially at 200mm, though it softens at 250mm and exhibits purple fringing in high-contrast scenes. The built-in hood is convenient but shallow. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking a compact telephoto zoom for daylight use, but its performance with teleconverters is limited.
