I'm very impressed with the colour rendition and the 3D look of the results so far - I'll try to get around to trying out the macro feature over the weekend. What I have discovered is that the lens will fit on a Canon 20D with any Adaptall-II (Leica, Rollei, CY) + the appropriate adapter to EOS but won't attach to an EOS film body with the CY + EOS adapter - strange. Does any one know if Tamron made an Adaptall-II for EOS mounts? Or did they only produce EOS compatible lenses (Canon EF) with fixed mounts.
