Tamron 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di-II LD for Canon DSLR Questions & Answers
Was I sold a 'pup'?
Excerpted from a
www.photo.net review of the lens:
Though the Tamron AF 55-200mm Di II LD Macro has "Macro" in its
name, it's not really a macro lens. Maximum magnification is about 1/3 life size
(Tamron spec it at 1:3.5) as you can see from the following image below, which was shot
at 200mm and at the closest focus distance (0.9m/37.4"). This isn't too bad, but
it's
more of a close focus telephoto lens than a "macro" lens (bolding for emphasis added).
I sent my canon 40D
This is a bit off the wall, I know, but have you contemplated taking the drastic step of getting the lens mended ?
Where can I find a Tamron Fotovix repair manual
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.
