In a notice to its shareholders, Tamron has announced that it is replacing its President and CEO Morio Ono with the current Corporate Vice President, Shiro Ajisaka. Tamron listed "...to rejuvenate the company’s management structure" as the reason for the top level replacement.
We really liked where Tamron was headed with their 35mm and 45mm f/1.8 VC primes released late last year. It will be interesting to see how this change in management impacts the already evolving product line.
