Tamron Tap in console
Product name: TAMRON TAP-in Console (Model TAP-01)
Date of launch: March 24, 2016
Versions: there are separate versions for Canon and Nikon later Sony as well
What is this console good for ?
This console allows us to update firmware microadjust focus and many other functions as well, for example setup focus limiter (near and far limit) for some lenses, adjust vibration reduction, and customize other functions as well. This console in function is similar to Sigma’s USB dock, but of course for Tamron lenses. It seems as a system (the program of the consol will be updated as well) which helps to make many refinements in the future, without sending the lens to service centers.
How is it operates ?
The console can be operated from PC or Mac via the Tap-in utility program.
Compatible lenses
So far the following lenses are compatible with the Console: Tamron 35mm f/1.8 VC, Tamron 45mm f/1.8 VC, Tamron 90m f/1.8 Di VC USD (the newest version I think) and the Tamron 85mm f/1.8 di Vc USD. In the future there will be many more lenses.
