Tamron keeps us guessing

By PR admin | November 24, 2009

Update: the long awaited secret was a new website for Tamron.eu.

Tamron.de does have a sense of humor – they keep responding to the Internet rumors by updating the banner on their front page:

tamron rumors banner Tamron keeps us guessing

previous banners:

tamron rumor update Tamron keeps us guessing

new tamron lens rumor Tamron keeps us guessing

So, what is it going to be? I say webpage re-design (they need one). If I am correct, I expect a free lens from you Tamron.de! I would like that new SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF) lens please. Thank you very much. I am waiting…

    Flash is also what came to my mind, but that would surprise me.
    Bags?
    Tripods?
    Filters?

    These aren’t fun tho…

    cellphone? lol
    mp3 player?

    Anyway.. they sure got a nice way to attract people to their webpage… I camera would have been interesting, a new player.

      It would be even funnier if eventually they said “Suckers! It was just a lens, after all. What do you think we make around here anyway!”

    I don’t know if anybody noticed, but if you look closely at the 3 different banner, you can see in transparent a website menu/header with the Tamron logo and it look tottaly different then the actual Tamron.de site. So I think it my be a new website layout or a online sotre!

    Not a lens? Pity. I would very much like a VC redesign of their current 28-75 2.8. Make that a 24-75 2.8 or 24-70 2.8 please.

    Adapt-all-digital lens adaptor for all functions on all mounts. Electronic contacts between lens and adaptor. With built in autofocus motors a new adapt-all can autofocus and meter in all lens mounts. It would be a major selling point.

    Hahaha :D They are good! Looks like someone from Tamron reads this website as well as several other – hehe, nice :D

    But yea – it’s a website. You can see it more and more clearly on banner. It’s good cause Tamron could use a new site :)

    cool created web buzz, wasted for well… something which will give them no moneys.
    I guess they will announce bankruptcy followed by 2 for 1 program :-)

    Or, well, something that will disrupt the market…: a good lens! :D
    (ok, it’s a bad joke, I know Tamron produces good lenses :D )

    Maybe they will come out with Sigma’s much delayed SD-15 DSLR before Sigma does. Then again who cares?!

    Video Compatibility (in lenses), so that ‘VC’ has a new meaning.

      it clearly says it is not a camera on that banner, so, too bad, keep dreaming

        I guess we all understood all this campaign is actually about nothing of interest. Everything else is a joke (I hope a modular non-reflex camera :D )

            as it stands the new Ricoh system has less modular/interchangeable flexibility than ordinary interchangeable lens systems, but the day Ricoh makes a lens/sensor unit with a lens mount (ie you can detach a lens and attach another to the sensor unit), then and only then they will be more modular than conventional interchangeable lens systems.

            100% true :) but still they had nice idea – only it was spoiled at some stage.

    It’s new website…. hmmm…. i prefer old one :P

    • WoutK89
      Posted November 26, 2009 at 7:33 am | Permalink

      yes it is, with more languages to choose from, and a different extension: “.eu”. Also look at the bottom for the languages, one is grayed out, I guess judging the colors, it will be Dutch :-P

    And the site already down, lol, announcement coming, just like Nikon? :-P

      you could have known if you followed the posts here, and the website of tamron.de ;-) you shouldnt have high hopes in the first place, since it was only Tamron Europe related

      didn’t everyone knew that it’ll be a website? lol…

      Wow, new website!
      I hope it’ll be at B&H soon. I would buy a couple (one for back-up) if it is compatible with my Nikon flash… is it? I also hope it is more modular than Ricoh’s…
      :D
