Depends on how much dust. It takes a lot more dust and crud to affect
performance than it takes to bother me. My 80-200/2.8 Tamron arrived a few
years back with a little dust and some zoom creep, so I had it dusted and the
creep fixed by KEH for about $100.
I think they're all Adaptall mount. I could be wrong. I'm sure I will find
out if I am.
The 2X-A teleconverter will physically fit, although I've never used it with
this lens. No chance for the 1.4X-A, since the rear element of the Tamron is
not recessed enough for the two to physically mate.
It's a really nice lens, if you don't mind big and heavy. I use mine a bunch.
