Tamron Infinity Focus
Can anyone with a Tamron 90mm Adaptall model 52BB offer any advice please. I noticed yesterday, for the first time, I could not get my copy to focus to infinity. There appears to be a piece of plastic wedged in the back of the lens. However I'm not sure if it's the remains of something that shoul...

I've not got the macro, but on a 28-80mm that bit doesn't move during either focus of zoom so it's unlikely to effect inf. focus. It's probably something that's broken off then cap as you say. Does the felt tip lettering indicate it's been serviced at some point.

As you say Algi, removal of the plastic has made no difference to the problem. Has anyone had a Tamron Adaptall lens repaired or serviced anywhere lately?

Thanks Algi, An email was sent to Intro2020 requesting a guide to cost. I think they may be on a par with JPSS, so I'm not holding out a lot of hope that a repair by them will be cost effective. After a quick route around the the Adaptall-2 site I could only find repairers in Canada and no contac...

Somebody grabbed the original site when the registration expired, probably thought they could sell it to Tamron.... happened to Microsoft once.... almost a customer spotted it and paid the registration for them. -

Impressed with a quick reply from Intro2020, although not the outcome I hoped for: "Due to the age of this lens we are no longer able to repair or service the lens."

Don't know if you want to go there Barrie but this shows where the screws are to adjust focus http://www.wiratama.net/2/category/tamron/1.html

A screw to far I think Alan.:roll: I'd heard good reports of APM Camera Repairs in Newcastle but was not sure if he only dealt with camera bodies. Spoke to him this morning, he does work on lenses, so I'm taking it in tomorrow.

If it's the same as the 28-105mm non Adaptall you just remove the front barrel. Remove a 6" length of black electrical type tape which locks two lens element holders together.... rotate the front one to infinity focus and then tape up again.... very easlily done.

The best that can be said about APM repairing the lens is that all the parts were still there. On the other hand it came back from Alan Marlow of A M Technical Services this morning working like clockwork. Highly Recommended

Filter cleaning
Hi guys, I was out walking with the dogs last week, one of them managed to flick a spot of wet mud onto the clear filter of my sigma 10-20. I left it well alone until I got home. It had dried solid by that time so I soaked it until soft again and gently wiped it away with my finger ensuring n...

Filter cleaning
I got some wipes and it's now back to new! Excellent bit f advice! Cheers Steve! Try an alcohol wipe (the kind they use in hospitals). The isopropyl alcohol will freely evaporate, leaving the glass clean.

fungus? rust? suggestions please
I'm struggling to get a decent picture of this this is the back of a da35al, that doesn't look like the fungus that I've seen in the past on lenses. Possible that there has been exposure to moisture? Lens works perfectly - and yes it was an ebay bargain. distinct brownish lines on a s...
