p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lenses with swappable mounts


I know there was a manufacture that made lenses where you could change the mounts on them. Does anyone know what lens manufacture that was? I'm drawing a blank. I knew but I can't remember it.

Did they make them back in the 70's too? I remember looking at a lens at a camera store that had a Canon FD mount on it but the guy said that you could change the mount.

That's it, I thought it was Tamron but couldn't remember what they called them.

The semi-official site for Tamron Adaptall is (was), http://adaptall-2.org/

I was just about to post a simple link to the site, but it's recently expired. Hopefully, the "real owner" will step up and renew the url, because the site is an excellent resource.

Tamron SP lenses with the "Adaptall 2" mount are generally as good as or better than other well known, third-party contemporaries like Vivitar Series 1 (from the 70s to early-80s). Some SP A2 lenses are as good as any from that period, period.

I think Vivitar also had interchangeable mounts at some point, but I'm not sure when. I used to have a 135mm lens in MD mount that could have the mount removed, but I never saw another one like it.

I believe that was their T mount system.
