With a resurgence of interest in film photography along with the ease which vintage K Mount lenses can be used natively or adapted to Mirrorless, John Riley takes a look at the history and models of the compact SLR Pentax-M series of camera and lenses.

Lens and extension tube are in very good external condition - no scratches or marks, though the chequered rubberised control rings show signs of use. I can see some fine dust between lens elements; I cannot see fungus. Diaphragm is brisk with no sign of grease. Silky-smooth focus.
This is the pre-digital model from Tamron. It is a fine macro or portrait lens for 35mm film. However, as is now recognised, when it is used with digital cameras there is often a faint central flare corrupting photos of black or dark objects. That is why I am selling it, having now bought good digital-design macro lenses to use with my K-x and K-S2 bodies. When I bought the latter from SRS I sold some stuff part-exchange, but they did not want to buy this Tamron. Is it of enough interest to anyone in this group for one of you to make an offer? Amount should allow for UK Confirmed ("signed for") 1 Kg small parcel postage, which would be £4.45 in UK.
If not of interest here, I will try it on eBay, where I would expect it to make about £70 to £90.
