FS: Tamron Adaptall-2 SP 180mm f/2.5 IF (63B)

      

Up for sale is my Tamron Adaptall-2 SP 180mm f/2.5 IF (63B) 35th Anniversary edition.

It has an excellent reputation, rightly so, although it is quite an old lens now so probably wouldn't truly compare in terms of IQ, sharpness or contrast again modern equivalents. If you're reading this you probably know about this lens anyway, but the are several write-ups and reviews on the web if you do a little searching - Here is the review from over at Pentaxforums.com:
https://www.pentaxforums.com/userreview ... f-63b.html

The condition of this copy is average to good (for its age) - it's clearly seen a lot of action and it shows with a fair amount of silvering on the metal parts of the barrel and around the filter ring. There are no dents or dings, the focus is on the loose side (fairly common with this age of Tamron manual focus lenses), the adpatall mount is operating correctly and a Pentax KA mount is included. it doesn't have the original hood although a generic Metal matching 77mm hood is provided.

Optically the front element has nice coatings, with some minor dust/debris when looking through. The rear elements have some minor mark on the inner elements, I've tried to show this in one of the photos, and the aperture is snappy with a few silvering marks visible.

Some photos of the lens:

...and my absolute favourite, taken into the light through undergrowth....

I don't expect this to sell on the forums, so will list on Ebay shortly, but I prefer to give the option to the members on here first.

Price £279 inc P&P

UK Only, Bank Transfer, Paypal (Gift), Cheque (cleared), Postal Order or Cash on collection, Inspection Welcome

Thanks Dan - it's one of those lenses that will repay you if you are prepared to put the effort in :thumb:

I've just found what I believe is the original dark brown leatherette drawstring pouch for it and Tamron 77mm lens cap :wink:
