Tamron 28mm f/2.5 Adaptall - Canon FD

Tamron 28mm F/2.5 Adaptall - Canon FD - Used Prime Lenses - Image 1 | SDS

Tamron 28mm f/2.5 Adaptall Canon FD is a manual-focus wide-angle prime lens with a fast f/2.5 aperture. Built around Tamron’s Adaptall system, it was designed to be used with interchangeable mounts, so this Canon FD version is one fitment rather than a fixed native mount lens. On full-frame film or digital bodies it gives a useful 28mm field of view for street, travel, environmental portraiture and everyday documentary work, with a compact 215 g build that is easy to carry. As an older lens it will appeal most to users who enjoy a tactile, mechanical feel and are happy to focus by hand; there is no autofocus or image stabilisation. The 49 mm filter thread keeps accessories small and inexpensive, and the 25 cm close-focus distance adds some versatility for tighter framing. Compared with slower 28mm primes of the era, the f/2.5 maximum aperture gives a little more light-gathering and viewfinder brightness, while remaining relatively manageable in size. On the used market, check the aperture blades for smooth movement and oil, the focus ring for even damping, the glass for haze, fungus, scratches and separation, and the Adaptall mount area for wear or loose fit.
