Tamron 80-210mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Tamron makes their lenses with a variety of lens mounts. If your lens has a Nikon mount then it will mount onto the D90.

you need a proper t2 adapter. when you remove the m42 adaptor on tair lens, you can attach the proper t2 to nikon adaptor on it. check my tair 300 photo. it has "t2 to m42" adapter on it. please be sure that find the correct adapter. i bought several adapters to find the correct one. one of them was different than t2 adapter but looking alike and sold as t2 by seller. it is hard to find the correct adapter. i guess there are variants of that standard(which is odd).

Assuming the lens has a Nikon mount, it will fit on the D3000. Tamron makes their lenses with a variety of mounts, so that one with a Canon mount, for example, won't fit onto a Nikon body.

This lens lacks an autofocus motor so you'll have to focus manually. Other than that, it will work fine. It's not the sharpest lens available, but it's also not the most expensive.

No. This lens does not have an internal motor which the D3100 requires for autofocusing.

Set up focus point using autofocus, then set camera to manual focus before attaching filter, and be careful not to move focusing ring.

First, I'm not a TAMRON Tech. * Check your warranty and call for service. * Ah, Found this on you tube. (VERY Technical!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9dvQmVAhK0 * Strongly suggest you have this lens serviced. Aloha, ukeboy57

You'll need to send it to a lens repair service. Do not attempt to disassemble the lens yourself; you'll only make the problem worse and may damage the lens beyond repair.

Use the settings that will give you the best exposure / shutter speed / focus

This is a bit off the wall, I know, but have you contemplated taking the drastic step of getting the lens mended ?

Tele convertors on their own do not focus - that is achieved by the lens. Are the lens contacts clean and correctly aligned with those in the camera ?

Repair manuals can be bought by certified repair centres. Sometimes you get the manuals when you have done the repair course at the firm. Not sure Tamron does so. But they most of the time don't sell these manuals to normal people, to avoid they start opening a lens, because they never will be able to put it together as a working lens, without the tools, like a collimator.

Did you switch the AF / MF switch to AF (Auto Focus)? It is on the lens.

all of my Tamron lenses have the serial number on the barrel of the lens right next to the "Made in Japan" label. When the lens is in the camera the MIJ label is on the bottom side. I hope that helps with your lens

Simple idea? Dont go to F32..just stay at F22 and increase the camera speed one stop. A little test will give you right calibration

No. The LA-DC58K only allows you to use the TC-DC58K teleconverter with your camera. The Tamron 28-200mm lens is intended for use with SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras, not with point&shoot cameras. As far as I know, there aren't any adapters which will allow you to use an SLR lens with the G10. A teleconverter is an add-on accessory that works with an existing lens. The 28-200 is a lens, which is intended to be used as-is. Using it on the G10 would basically require removing the built-in lens on the G10. As that lens can't be removed...

If you got a lens with a Nikon mount then you don't need anything else to fit it to a Nikon camera.
