Tamron can survive longer in “MY” everyday use, but once broken it is not repairable item.
 

 

 

My Tamron broke after 8 years of use (zoom ring stopped working, something broke inside). Probably caused an incident involving the camera falling on asphalt once, but it took years for it to finally give in. I've sent it for repair to the local Tamron centre and it cost me about 120Euros. I got back a perfectly functional repair, cleaned throughout and looking almost as new. I feel it should last me just as long.

 

So it definitely can be repaired - depending on damage and costs of course, as well as buying a replacement can sometimes be more cost effective.

thanks for input.

My tamron has the same syptom - zoom ring , hovever it is still working, I alreade got another used for 150euro.

BTW: my tamron survied at least 3 crashes,across my family use.

I'll keep in mind that tamron can service my new-old tamron.

 

I had similar problem with my sigma 10-20 - I opened by myself - One pin was damaged. I'me made another metal pin and srew it up.

I suppose that Tamron has similar problem. The problem is that tamron dissasembly seems no trivial - at least for me.

many thanks,
