Photographic lenses

Tamron has sold more than 5 million lenses as of September 2014. In the 2017 fiscal year, such lenses accounted for 74.9% of all sales.

Interchangeable lenses for digital and conventional SLR cameras, including compact high-ratio zoom lenses of which Tamron was the pioneer in 1992 when it released the 28–200mm. The most-current lens of this type is the AF 16–300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO. Tamron was the maker of the manual-focus Adaptall series which have interchangeable mounts for multiple camera brands. These replaced an older series of interchangeable mount lens, the Adaptamatic lenses, which offered less functionality. Tamron was also responsible for the development of the t2 or T-mount adapter system.

Zoom lenses of various focal length ranges;

Manual focus lenses

Taisei Optical made a strategic decision to specialize in developing telephoto lenses, releasing its first lens, 135mm f/4.5 (Model #280), in 1958. The lens was branded Tamron, to honor its designer (Tamura Uhyoue), and used the T mount system, making it adaptable to bodies from multiple camera manufacturers. It was bundled with a dedicated 1.67× teleconverter. Taisei continued to develop the interchangeable mount, releasing the Adapt-A-Matic (アダプトマチック) series starting in 1969 with the 70~220mm f/4 (Model PZ-30Au), which added automatic diaphragm coupling capability, followed by the Adaptall (アダプトール) series starting in 1973. The Adaptall-2 series was introduced in 1979 and production continued until 2006.

In the United States, Vernon Photographic Corporation (Mt. Vernon, New York) registered the trademark Edonar in 1967 for lenses sold under its own brand. Some Edonar lenses were built by Taisei Kogaku, as engraved on the lens.
