Maybe I am the elephant in the room here-
Sony buying Tamron is of little concern/care. I don't buy third party AF lenses for any mount.
If Sony bought Voigtlander, that would be a different conversation-
Tamron also develops first-party OEM lenses for companies like Nikon and Sony.
Agreed-
To be fair though, its not a 3rd party lens anymore if Nikon is selling it as a Nikon lens and had a part of the process for developing it and AF algorithms etc-
If Tamorn won't make them anymore for Nikon, lots of other qualified companies that will.
And... not all "OEM" lenses are manufactured by the company whose name is on the lens. :-)
