It's not often that you hear the expression "Satisfaction Guaranteed". Hard to do in retail, harder to do in politics, and nearly impossible in family life...
Can't help in the parliament or the bedroom, but we can tell you that Tamron have made the offer in retail sales of their lenses. They have come forward with a 60-day satisfaction guarantee on any new Tamron lens bought before December 31, 2013.
Their flyer states that if you are not completely satisfied for any reason with your new purchase in that time you register with them at
tamron.com.au/satisfied
and they'll give you a full refund.
That's pretty bold, and speaks well for the quality of the products and for the sincerity of the manufacturer. Tamron lenses have been on the Australian market for a very long time - there were many series of them way back into the film era that did marvellous things. They could be adapted and switched in strange ways between different camera systems. Times have changed, of course, and lenses made by Tamron for Nikon or Canon cameras are dedicated to those mounts.
They are good lenses - I think in particular that the wide-ranging lenses of the 18-270 variety are the most useful. They are stabilised and solidly built with good metal mounts.The 24-70 is no slouch and the 90 macro is wonderfully light. It is actually piece of unsung hero glass...
60 days - you get less than that for poaching. Worthwhile thinking about...
