In short
TAMRON 70-210mm 1: 3.8-4 46A - old telezoom with PUSH-PULL design and interchangeable shank system. Excellent combination of price / quality. Nice drawing, sharp picture at closed diaphragms. Tamron Adaptall-2 lenses by themselves are pretty much all good.
The review shows a lens with a sharpened shank for M42 thread.

Lens body made quite high quality, but with plastic piston ring. During focusing and changing the focal length, the rear lens of the lens remains stationary. When changing the focal length, the lens length does not change. Piston ring and aperture not rubberized.
One ring is responsible for focusing and changing the focal length. To change the focal length, you should pull or push the piston ring, to focus, rotate it. TAMRON 70-210mm 1: 3.8-4 46A uses'reversible PUSH-PULL'- the maximum value of the focal length is available when the piston ring is closest to the camera mount. Unfortunately, the lens changes a little focal length under the weight of its own piston.
TAMRON 70-210mm 1: 3.8-4 46A focus ring rotates approximately 270 degrees. During focusing, the front lens rotates and extends forward. On the case there is a focus distance scale, a label for working in the infrared spectrum, a scale with a magnification of magnification. focal lengths and F.

Image quality and sample photos
Moderate aperture The lens made it easy for me to use it during sunny weather when shooting handheld. At wide apertures, the lens is moderately sharp. Unfortunately, the TAMRON 70-210mm 1: 3.8-4 46A suffers from chromatic aberrations and is very afraid of back and side light (example).
9 aperture blades allow you to create fairly even circles in the blur zone. Separately, it is worth noting nice pictureproduced by the lens (in particular - bokeh).

TAMRON 70-210mm 1: 3.8-4 46A - a nice old man, he does not catch stars from the sky, but an excellent (for its cost) manual telephoto lens with moderate aperture. I recommend (if you can find the right shank).

Yes, chromatite is decent, but otherwise - telephoto is VESTCHSCH.
There are several modifications differing in number, aperture and everything else unchanged. So one of these versions is good.
I myself tried on the film for a long time still 35-70 and 28-70 f / 3,5-4,5, very weak compared to Pentax-A, 35-70 / 4 that I had. These trial tests for a long time discouraged my desire to be interested in tamron. Then the Internet appeared, I see people praising sometimes. Of course, this company has good instances, I then judged very primitively. Well, for example, several Sigma samples and obviously did not meet any bad ones. In general, Pentax even makes cheap amateur lenses very high quality, it can also be said about the Olympus, but there are also weak regular zooms like 35-70.
