    Overview

    The Tamron SP 35-210mm f/3.5-4.2 Adaptall-2 (26A) is a versatile zoom lens with a macro mode at 35mm (1:3.8). It is well-built with an all-metal construction. Optically, it is considered one of the best-made zoom lenses of its time, with good speed and notable lens flare. However, its complex design can be knocked out of alignment, so a good-condition copy is advised. It suits photographers who value manual focus, build quality, and a wide zoom range on a budget.
