The macro setting is far more than a gimmick too - very handy to have. GBP70 is a nice price for a very nice lens.
You only have to look at some of Cliff-P's images to see how well it does close up shots.

Hi Andrew,

Yes still available for the asking price I would include RMSD but would prefer Paypal with the buyer paying fees, I'm in no rush to sell so plenty of time for your friend to make up her mind.

Kind regards,

John

I have the Pentax 55-300 and the Tamron 70-300 plus a K5. I wouldn't dream of selling my Pentax 55-300, but wouldn't miss the Tamron at all. True the Tamron is a macro lens, and is very capable in this mode, but suffers badly from chromatic abberation at anything above 150mm.


K5, K10, KX(film), Pentax 28mm f2.8, Pentax 135mm f3.5, Pentax 18-5(x2), Pentax 55-300, Tamron 70-300
And many, including myself wouldn't part with the Tamron. It has some purple fringing in high contast situations but I've never seen any objectionable CA. Having said that I think £100 for a s/h one is a little optimistic, £70 maybe.

This lens surprises me John. I got it in a package I bought on EBay and although I've hardly used it I can't bring myself to sell it .. yet. Sharp, fast AF but ugly as sin and noisy. Still an excellent lens though.
That sums it up very well, mine sometimes finds a place in my prime lens kit, replacing the FA 135/2.8, it shares the same filter size as most of my primes 49mm and fits the same case as the FA 135. It's definitely a keeper IMHO.

The old F 70-210 appears to do really well, I always new it to be a good lens but never tried it with a TC.
