Where is this made? Does the lens on it lock in place when screwed in completely or does it come out from the other side? It affects infinity focus

I believe china and what do you mean by "come out from the other side"? If you are talking about how normal EF mount lenses lock in and you have to press the release button then yes.

Not sure where is manufactured, but I've bought a few Fotodiox adapters, and I'm always happy with the quality. I believe you can remove the glass element in the adapter, but that will in fact make infinity focus impossible. With the glad left in, you need to account for about a half stop of light lost, and an 1.3 multiplier factor. If you can accept those factors, I've found this to be a very capable adapter, even if it's just too have some fun with old lenses.

I don't know where it is made. It has a canon FD mount on one side and an EF mount on the other. There is a difference in focal length because of this attachment. I don't know how much it changes the focal length, but it should some.

Not sure where it is made but I'm sure if you email the company they could give you more info on that. Here is their website. http://www.fotodioxpro.com/ I have bought 4 of these adapters (3 Canon FD & 1 Minolta) and they all work great. The lens doesn't screw in it actually just locks into place then you just mount the lens to your camera like you would any other lens. You can focus to infinity.

Hmmm not exactly sure I know the lens is made in japan. So it's not American made. But I have it and it has been good to me

I don't see anything different here. The only issue I've had with the lens is to make sure it is properly locked and seated.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

There is two ways of getting your S/N#: (1) On the len's focus ring, you will see "A009N-xxxxxx" (just on the left of MAKE IN JAPAN"). P.S. The xxxxxx is etched onto the lens. (2) The S/N# is on the top left corner of the original tamron box. It is kind of big. P.S. I have to cut it out from the box in order to get the current $100 rebate from Tamron. If you cannot find it, you should bug the seller on why. May be it is gray market, or second hand. Good luck. KC

Mine says made in Thailand. But it is vey well built. It'll hold my Canon 5d MK II both horizontally and vertically. There is a suction cup on the neck that makes it very stable if you're shooting on a car's hood or roof.

Mine is made in Thailand. It is written on the back of the lenses. Look at the ring where the pin contacts are. Just to make you feel better, I do not think you can ever overpay for Zeiss glass. The 55/1.8 is the best glass I've ever owned. :)

Yes that lens is made in Japan. "Made in Japan" is printed on the lens.Mike

Don't know -- but I do know it does not stay sharply focused at higher zoom levels after about 1 year of regular use. Never dropped the lens or treated it rough. Just noticed the sharpness disappear after a while. Very disappointed in this lens!

Mine does the same thing. Not pleased with it at all. It will also come loose form the lens real easy. It just won't stay tightened. Don't know what else to buy. I just quit using it on my tripod. Wouldn't recommend this at all, I give it a 00000000!!

Sorry, but its made in China. Still, seems to be of sufficient quality relative to the price. You'll have to spend about three times as much if you really want high quality optics. Its just the reality of the state of modern manufacturing. And yes, there is a detectable difference in quality between low price and higher priced products. You just need to decide if you want 'good' or 'good enough'..... these were 'good enough' for what I wanted and could afford.

It is genuine lens, made in Japan and imported. I don't buy expensive things from grey market.

I could be wrong, but I believe designation between the VL and VM have to do with which lens come with that particular kit, and that the body is the same. I just pulled out my Magnifier and the a65 I've got says Made in Japan, though the lens says made in Thailand. hth

The one I have is made in Thailand - like Withlin, I've found it a very good lens - it's the one I use most of the time
