SUMMARY
Tamron's new Tamron-Link Bluetooth adapter is a compact and lightweight accessory designed to enhance compatible Tamron lenses for Sony and Nikon mirrorless cameras. When plugged into the lens's USB-C port, it enables a range of smart features, including customization and remote control, accessible through the free Tamron Lens Utility smartphone app. While it doesn't add noticeable size or weight, it significantly expands lens functionality. The adapter is currently not compatible with Tamron's Canon RF and Fujifilm X-mount lenses, though firmware updates for some Canon RF lenses are possible via a desktop application.
