Question about tamron 90mm F2.8 macro

matoqui · 08-10-2009, 03:14 AM

Hi!

Will the following lens work on a k20d using one of the adaptall to PK adapters sold in ebay?

Tamron Telephoto SP 90mm f/2.8 Macro Adaptall Manual Focus Lens

Available new at B&H for $299, but they do not carry an adapter for pentax.

Thanks!

Manuel

The one that is avaiable on B&H is the regular Bayouet version and not the Adaptal version. It's listed for $459 less $60 rebate. I've had this lens. It's really excellent. I highly recommend it for macros and portraits.

Hi Matoqui,

Sorry I can't help with the Tamron question, but if you're interested I have a K-mount Sigma 105 macro for sale, still under warranty (and card not filled out). Would be willing to let it go for the same price. PM me if interested, and best of luck with the Tamron issue regardless.

Cheers,

Andrew

Thanks for your replies! I would like to also use the lens in a Canon EOS body, so I would prefer the "adaptall" version of the lens. I could get the older version, but when you consider the costs of the teleconverter (required in the old version to get 1:1 magnification ratio) plus the fact that they are relativelly expensive, the price of $299 does not look so bad.

Hey Matoqui,

Don't know if you've had any further luck with the Tamron, but thought you might like to know there a few Adaptall Mounts for sale over at the Marketplace.

Cheers,

Andrew
