The build quality of the Tamron is very good. The lens is mostly made of metal and the very broad, rubberized focus ring operates very smooth and very well damped. The Tamron 500mm f/8 has an "adaptall" mount - this is a proprietary mount system by Tamron. Using dedicated adapters you can mount these adaptall lenses to virtually any system out there. However, typical for such adapter solutions there's no electronic coupling. This is not a big deal when it comes to the Nikon Ai-S adapter because the lens simply behaves like a manual focus Nikkor lens and the Tamron has no aperture mechanism nor AF .
