    Brian, Thank you. Though I don’t own this lens, I appreciate that you are bringing this to our attention.

    1. All Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 lenses are Model A056 – I think you’re actually asking “which serial number?”

      The serial numbers are non-sequential so you need use the link in this post to check the serial number of you lens in order to see if it’s affected.
