One point, the lens you are showing is the second version of the Tamron 28-200/3.5-5.6 AF super zoom. Its not an Adaptall-2 lens as those are manual focus lenses with interchangeable mounts.

Yes, the PICTURE shows a fixed-mount lens but the TEXT refers to the #171A Adaptall-2 version as well as the fixed-mount variants.

I have this lens in it's Adaptall-2 variation and used it for many years on my Fujica film slr's before replacing the mount for use on my Pentax cameras. It's quite a rare beast, possibly the most sophisticated manual-focus zoom ever available for the amateur market, but none the worse for that!
