It was the close focus that swung it for me agains the Adaptall 2 80-200mm f2/8. I also bought a 2x SP adaptall 2 teleconverter for another lens I have so will be interesting to see how it performs with that.

I've noticed that recently, it's never been a problem with my Pentax A series lenses (although I only have one), but it seems to be the case with my Tamron Adaptall lenses with the A series adaptor
It will be interesting to see if it is the same with the 70-210mm SP adaptall 2 that I have coming.
There was a thread on another forum where a chap was advertising a 80-200mm f2/8 tamron adaptall 2 that I was interested in and he said something about putting a shim on the lens or mount to stop the over exposure.?

Hi
Its not the shipping i am worried about it is the swap. If i get a dud lens there is no come back.
Infact isn't that what you exactly said a few posts up?
Maybe I was lucky not to get involved.

Another example of ebay madness is currently under way. An SFX with 50mm, 28mm F lenses and a crappy zoom is now at £206. with 2 days to go!

Sockpuppet,
I'm afraid i think sending my lenses to another country where the package could easily go missing leaving me in a situation where i have your lens and you don't have mine, meaning that you would want your lens back and i lose out both ways. also i never found out how old yours is ??
paul
As to the age of the lens read the second PM I sent.
Edit : Have decided it's just too much hassle so will pull out.
Thanks anyway

At that price I will sell mine and buy the 1.7X pentax teleconverter.
I thought it was a bit over the top when I paid £70 delivered from the USA a couple of months ago.
