Tamron responds — Lensmaker has not been bought by Sony


Since there was nothing on either the Sony or the Tamron websites about any merger or takeover, I wrote to Tamron asking for clarification of the Sony buyout rumors.

The response was quick and clear:
Dear Mr. Bonner,

There is no truth to the rumors that Sony has purchased Tamron.

Thanks.

Stacie Errera
Chief Marketing Officer
Tamron USA, Inc.

It’s always best to hear it from the horse’s mouth!

Who is that guy?


Web designer and photographer Tom Bonner has three decades of experience with Minolta camera equipment

Hi. I'm Tom Bonner and I am the author of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A300/A350 Digital Field Guide, published by Wiley Publishing. I've been shooting with Minolta SLRs for over three decades.

Alphatracks is my attempt to follow Sony's maneuvers in the dSLR market, and at the same time provide a resource for Minolta film and digital SLR users. A-mount shooters have to watch each other's backs, because there aren't as many of us. At least not yet....
