tamron 2.5 sp 90

looking at buying a sp 90 seen one localy for £70 is this a good price
how do you rate this lens?

Which version is it? Does it come with an adapter? If not PK/A adapter, add £50.

I have the 52BB version 1:2 macro. It has an extension tube for 1:1 but I find it fiddly and reserve the lens for larger subjects. I think it is a brilliant lens. Can post sample shots if you wish.

its the 52bb no ex tube all ready have a pka adapter

I would buy a good example for £70.

I have a mint one of those in its case with the ext tube all done up in a gift box with spray bottle and background cards.

Would prob sell it if you are interested and we can agree a price.

If you can get one for £70, and its in decent condition, then get it quick. They usually sell for more than that these days. Tamrons offical 2"/50mm extension to achieve true 1:1 is not necessary, if you want 1:1 macro. Any 2"/50mm K mount ext. tube will do the same thing.

To give you an idea of quality, allowing for my talent level of course, check my links. All those were shot with Tam 90 SP f2.5

Good for you Reso. I was too late to respond, but I do have this lens, and its a cracker. And for £70 a bargain too (second hand prices seem to hover around the £120 mark)

Its also a stunning Portrait lens too, and very sharp.

Enjoy.
