Forgot to mention that this is an SP lens. Anyone have the time to advise me if the price is way too high, or simply, this is not a desirable lens, and of no interest. Thanks.

Full name of this lens is, Tamron 24-135mm Macro f 3.5-5.6 AD Aspherical (IF), model 190DP, 50th Anniversary.

I have given this lense very little use since purchased. It is in overall immaculate condition. A few miniscule dust particles and a tiny mark on the front element (circled in image) which is NOT a scratch. Complete with all paperwork, box, hood, soft pouch and Hoya 72mm skylight filter.

I have not been able to find any similar sales on the forum, so difficult to value. Auction sites show £190 to £290 for BIN. I would ask for offers around £190, to include RMSD. Payment method to be agreed.

Hi,

Hope this isn't an inappropriate post. What exactly is an Adaptall 42mm mount. Is it an Adaptall for Pentax ES ? (which I have).

Les,

I have been taking infrared images for quite some time with my K100D Super. Basically a K110D. I use a Hoya R72 and the standard 18-55 mk1 kit lens. This lens performs well with no hot-spots. I have also tried the 18-250mm, but this does seem to suffer from hot-spots. As mentioned previously, a tripod is essential, as exposures up to 1 sec, iso 200, f8, are necesary. I find the autofocus on the K100D performs satisfactorily most of the time. If you autofocus first in visible light and note the focus position on the lens. Then GENTLY screw-on the filter, so that the focus does not move. When you then re-focus in infrared, generally the autofocus position will move perhaps 2mm on the lens barrel. Switch to manual focus and turn the lens back to the original focus position. I process the image in photoshop with channel mixing. I recommend you persevere, as your K110D is emenitwely suitable for IR images. Have a look at this link:

There is a world of information on the web concerning post processing IR images in Photoshop.
Persevere, it IS worth it.

Without going into a whole lot of detail, I tried using a cheap IR Filter with my K100D a while back. Never could get the hang of it. Pictures came out darn stupid, so I stopped trying.

Would using a Hoya R72 Filter make any difference with my K100D or do you have to have it modified for that, which I don't want to do. Infrared has always been an interest for me, but just never could get it right.

Regards,
Les

I have for sale my Tamron 70-300mm. Purchased new in September 2009 (no warranty left). I have not used the lens, except to try it out. No reason for not using, just never got around to it, and would like to slim-down my collection. In absolutely pristine condition, with box, caps, hood and inserts. I would like £60, plus postage (£6.40 RMSD).
