tamron-lens-control - Linux CLI for Tamron lens settings
Show HN: Tamron Lens Utility Alternative on Linux
tamron-lens-control (tlc) is a Linux-only command-line utility that brings the functionality of the official Tamron Lens Utility to Linux users. It allows photographers to view and change settings on compatible Tamron lenses directly from the terminal, including focus ring direction, button assignments, and autofocus calibration. With support for multiple lenses, backup and restore of settings, and a straightforward command structure, tlc empowers Linux users to fully customize their lenses without needing Windows or macOS. This community-driven project is independent of Tamron and offers a safe, open-source solution for lens management.
tamron-lens-control aims to reproduce what the official Tamron Lens Utility has to offer on Linux.

Great result - it would be nice to learn how this could be used..
How would you connect a Tamron lens to a Linux machine? Is this with the external USB port or Bluetooth dongle? Or through the bayonet connector? A linx camera controlling it's lens?
Just for settings and firmware update? Or some imaging workflow? Can you give a practical example of Linux also controlling the camera?
