Used Tamron TAP-In Console for Canon EF Lenses

Arrived on time and as expected. Finding the software for it was difficult at best. That's more on Tamron than Adorama. Plugged in and updated my lens quick and easy after the software was installed.

Tamron apparently has no plans to update the Tap-In Utility for Apple M1 or higher hardware - which means if you have any newer Mac built since 2020 or so, you won't be able to use the Tap-In Console at all. It also does not work with Parallels running Windows in emulation because they don't have a version for Windows ARM, either. Tamron will graciously offer to update the firmware "for free" if you ship them your lens and pay return shipping, which is what I was trying to avoid when I bought this piece of junk. I will be trying to find a friend with a Windows 11 laptop with USB-A ports (you can't use any adapters or hubs with this thing) so I can at least get my lenses updated to work with the FTZ, but I think I'm done buying Tamron gear. The price is right, but support over time is... not so good.

The console is very easy to use for firmware updates. If you want to use your Tamron lenses on newer mirrorless camera bodies, you will have to do the update. Be careful with the console adapter cable connection, which may be a little fragile. My first copy broke. I am happy to use my Tamron lenses on the Nikon Z7!

it worked as advertised. Most newer-ish tamron lenses need a firmware update to be compatible with the Canon Mirrorless system, and this did not disappoint. Bought it to update my 35mm 1.4 and it works like butter on my Canon R7.

The tap-in console worked as advertised.The instructions could be better on its usage Unfortunately the lens backfocused so badly that a perfect correction was not possible.

Item came in original packaging, fast delivery, set up was easy. Good buy. When you attach your lens to it it will tell you if your lens? firmware has updates and if it does it updates it right the . Easy.

I have always wanted this TAP-in Console for my lens. When I saw this at Adorama as a kit with the Flashpoint on camera round flash. There was no hesitation in getting it. I have several Tamron lens for my Nikon D850. One of them have been give me issue for a while now, not focusing up closed and not taking good photos. After speeding about 45 minutes downloading and installing the software; and taking photos with the lens before upgrading them. The improvement was noticeable. This was a Damm good by. This is the best idea ever for lens

Honestly haven't used it yet, but it's certainly worthwhile for firmware updates alone.

Works well even better that it came free with the lens !

May be useful but the lens needs no modification out of the box

tamron consistently offers great quality products for those of us who don't want to spend money on big name brands

Great idea to update firmware for the lens.

The tap-in console is relatively straightforward to use with the software, and it's useful for small tune-ups at home instead of taking it in for servicing.

Came free with the lens and it upgraded the firmware flawlessly.

It?s nice, too bad it didn?t come with the lens like they are now.

Very nice feature!

No issues connecting my lens to my computer. I'm able to adjust the focusing and firmware of the lenses I own.

Does the job

Overall easy to use. You can really dial in your focus at different focal lengths and distances. It is a bit tricky to do on the long lenses such as my Tamron 150-600mm G2.

Great way to keep optics up to date!

Easy to use and allows me to update the firmware of my 70-200 f/2.8 without any hassle. Highly recommend for any Tamron glass!

Great device for fine tuning your lens and updating firmware also.

Tap-In is the perfect item I added to my camera bag. By using the Tamron TAP-In Console for Nikon F-Mount Lenses I am able to keep my selected lenses customized by changing various settings to match my preferences based on how I like to use these lens. The Tap-In Console is versatile and user-friendly. I use the Tap-In on my two main go to Tamron lenses keeping the firmware up to date and adjusted to my exact shooting style. I use the Tap-In Console in connection with my Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens for Nikon F as well as my Tamron 70-200 G2 - SP 70-200mm F2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens for Nikon F. It's a nice addition to my camera bag and gives me many options to customize according to my shooting style.
