Taisei Optical made a strategic decision to specialize in developing telephoto lenses, releasing its first lens, 135 mm f/4.5 (Model #280), in 1958. The lens was branded Tamron, to honor its designer (Tamura Uhyoue),^[7] and used the T mount system, making it adaptable to bodies from multiple camera manufacturers. It was bundled with a dedicated 1.67× teleconverter.^[8] Taisei continued to develop the interchangeable mount, releasing the Adapt-A-Matic (アダプトマチック) series starting in 1969 with the 70~220 mm f/4 (Model PZ-30Au),^[9][10] which added automatic diaphragm coupling capability,^[7] followed by the Adaptall (アダプトール) series starting in 1973.^[11] The Adaptall-2 series was introduced in 1979 and production continued until 2006.

In the United States, Vernon Photographic Corporation (Mt. Vernon, New York) registered the trademark Edonar in 1967^[12] for lenses sold under its own brand. Some Edonar lenses were built by Taisei Kogaku, as engraved on the lens.
