    70–150mm · f/3.8

    Overview

    The Tamron 70-150 mm f/3.8 Adaptall model CZ-715 is a compact telephoto zoom with constant aperture, offering very good optical characteristics for its era: high sharpness and contrast, well-corrected aberrations, and nice color rendition. Build includes a built-in hood and Adaptall mount. Weaknesses include being less sharp than the Adaptall-2 version and less common than longer zooms like 70-210mm. It suits vintage lens enthusiasts and those wanting a compact, affordable telephoto zoom for general use or close-up work.
