    Overview

    The Tamron 38-100mm f/3.5 Adaptall model CZ-38M is a solid 1970s all-metal zoom with classic rendering and full-frame coverage. It offers a relatively fast constant f/3.5 aperture and compact zoom range, built for decades of use. The lens is dense, with broad knurled metal rings for reassuring grip. It suits those seeking characterful photos and cinematic, low-contrast video work, and is a perfect match for Rollei QBM bodies or adaptable to modern mirrorless. Expect to pay around €40–90 for a clean copy.
