General Notes:
1.) Promaster AF lenses were manufactured by Cosina, Sigma and Tamron (in the latter case same thing except of additionally featuring a rubber focusing ring). The last Promaster AF lenses were iirc discontinued around 2010 or 2011 (Cosina stopped offering the AF lines in 2006 already), as of 2012 only a few of them are left in stock of some shops.
Refer to Still Lenses C/EF > Cosina for a Cosina lens listing.
