Overview

The Tamron 95-205mm f/6.3 is an early consumer zoom from 1961, notable as one of the first affordable zooms. Optically, it is 'pretty dreadful' with softness and various aberrations. Build is light and cheaply finished in zebra style, with a preset aperture and one-touch zoom/focus. It suits collectors or those interested in photographic history rather than demanding image quality.
