Tamron's approach to bring out tripod collars with Arca swallow-tail: finally one lens manufacturer getting it right

 Absolutely, Tamron realized that this updated tripod foot "costs no more" to manufacture with the Arca Swiss V groove as standard, everyone else wants ludicrous sums for it as an accessory.

 However Tamron does charge an arm and a leg for their "Tapin" console (USB Dock) and their tele-converters!

 

  It's also nice to see some metal in their construction at a time when super expensive Nikon's hide their metal interiors behind not so impressive polycarbonate outer casings.
