Well I thought the PK/A mount, Screw mount, Filter and TC were worth around £80 on their own so thats what I bid .. hoping for a free lens

Was quite pleased with this one today.
My mum asked me to do a pic of her dog Jack.

Tamron SP Adaptall 2 70-210mm @ ISO 800 f3.5.

Yup but I am going to have to trade in my Lenses and go fully DA* just so I can go out in the rain.

Mind you, Gareth in the questions made me smile.
Cheeky git ..

Saying that I have made just as stupid offers and had then accepted.

This arrived today and inside the kettle box (strange things people pack Ebay itmes in) was an absolutely immaculate 90mm macro lens plus just as good macro tube, a set of reflector cards, a Tamron mist spray (never seen one of those before) a leather case for the lens and optional extra hood all packaged in a presentation box. Also there was an Adaptall II PK screw mount, a Adaptall II PK/A mount, a new Kood UV filter and a Tokina 2x TC

Well chuffed with it ..

I hope you don't mind me sayin' this.

Never been one to take much notice of "Laws" but I have no problem you saying it

Thanks again for the comments.

Amin: Yes it was a suprise shot, had it not been I would have the big false cheesy grin I always get when he sees the camera

I don't know about anyone else,but I find converters /adapters work best on Prime lenses!.....on zooms I think the image quality is effected for the worse!......only my opinion mind!

I have found this to be true as well, the only reason I tried the Tamron on the DA* 16-50mm was because it's the only SDM lens I have and I wanted to verify it worked.
Saying that both the 1.4x and 2x Sigma EX converters do work very nicely on the 70-200mm f2.8.
