Tamron Contemplates Introducing Lenses with Dedicated Aperture Ring
Tamron opened up to the possibility of launching lenses with dedicated aperture ring.
We believe that whether or not to add the aperture ring depends on the concept of each lens and the target audience. So far, we have favored compactness and lightness. But we would like to consider adding one for users who need an aperture ring. It is therefore possible that we will develop this type of lenses in the future.
That would be just awesome!!! Go ahead Tamron!
And one comment about APS-C lenses:
We believe that the market size of APS-C lenses is always the same [as back in the times of DSLRs], at least for the second lens [note: second lens in the sense of lens that people buy after they got the camera with the kit lens].
