Sony has held a slice of shares in third-party lens maker Tamron for multiple years, but an investigation led by a Japanese business publication hints that the camera giant has explored acquiring all of the shares in Tamron.
According to interviews from the Japanese business publication Diamond, Sony has proposed an offer to acquire all of the shares in Tamron. The report suggests a 200 billion yen proposal, which would be about $1.2 billion / £916.4 million / AU$1.75 billion / CA$1.72 billion at current exchange rates.
