question
Where can I find a list of TAP-in compatible Tamron lenses in the EF mount?
Tamron's List of Compatible Lenses for the Tap-in Console is on their website. The list has been updated as of February 2017. I did a quick search for tamron tap-in console and went to the first Tamron website link that was returned in the search. The Tamron link was 8 or 9 links down the page, after all the sales offers.With the February, 2017 update Tamron added support for the new SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (Model A022). It looks like there are a few other new additions as well.

question
Would anyone recommend using the TAP-in Console as a rear lens cap for convenience? I'm using it with my Tamron 85mm 1.8.
1. I would not recommend this as a suitable rear lens cap for two reasons: It is not convenient to use it that way and it would almost certainly void the warranty on the product. You can check this with Tamron Customer Service on their website.2. The cost of a generic rear lens cap for your lens is so minimal it would be more of a convenience to purchase one or two of these and keep them handy in case you lose one. Better to lose one of these than the TAP-in console.
