Found one of THESE used for £100 with postage and just wondered if anyone has/had one and if so what they think/thought of it.

Thanks.

Forgot there was no aperture ring on DA kit (too used to my old lenses)

Can give the A contact tubes a go on my DA* 16-50mm though if you want.

I should think it will be very good.
I have used my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 with a 35mm tube and my F* 300mm f4.5 with a full set and have been pretty impressed. Enough to warrant not carrying a macro with me most of the time.

Touche, but as you know it does depend on context.

I presume you are referring to the Classifieds section, where I hope we will stop undermining people's sales with discussions that can be happily held in the appropraite categories.
You really have taken this thread totally off topic now John, your last post has nothing to do with the subject at all and is completely out of context. If you wish to continue please take it to PM

To be brutally honest unless you are a pixel peeper there is really nothing in it when you compare the 2 in good light, certainly your average person wouldnt be able to tell the difference on a medium sized print. The 60-250mm has the bonus of being faster with weather sealing and SDM but imo it shows how good the 55-300mm is (espacially for the price difference).

I still think the 60-250mm should have been f2.8.

Absolutely. Now who was that exhorting us to stay on topic recently?

Its nice to see someone got my point, especially after I had a post deleted yesterday for being off topic. Perhaps I was just too subtle.

You've missed out that I mentioned the 500mm.
Yes, because it is a prime.

Don't forget the manual focus ones that also iclude the 400-600mm zoom, the 250-600mm zoom....and so on. Lots of long lenses, some quite unique.
He asked for primes.
