That's exactly what I would have thought and you are correct. I just
did another search on B&H and came up with 10 Tamron/Pentax lenses
whereas my previous attempt returned 1. I must have made some sort of
error on the first search. But there are 16 Tamron/Sony lenses. I
suspect that Tamron is keeping the older full frame Minolta lenses
available and have just added some APS-C lenses.
