Tamron Adaptall 2 135/2.5 (03B) for £21 - a steal.

Looks like a real nice lens you got there, I especially like the seascapes 4-7 with the boats, low hanging clouds etc. Great shots!

[Pontax]

I would like to join this club and purchase a 135mm. My primes consist mainly of converted Contax' with the Leitax bayonet. My eye has fallen on these lenses: The K the A 2,8 or Contax 2,8.

Somehow I would like continue my Contax lineup, but the A 2,8 seems interesting, I like the A setting and the reviews are not all that bad.

Any thoughts? on the my dilemma.

@Jakob, vildt flotte billeder.

..more like amazing!

Extension makes them better I think.

Btw You are from Denmark, Douglas from sweden, I'm from Finland but where are guys from Norway and Iceland

@Jakob, vildt flotte billeder.

(Stort tak) Thank´s alot Pontax and greetings to you in Bornholm

..yes, Im looking into that sometime soon..the short extension takes one from 150cm into about 90cm focus distance (I think, any experience on that?) with a 135mm.

..Yep, we Scandinavians sure are on to some 135mm secrets! (I have never seen anyone from Iceland here)

the short extension takes one from 150cm into about 90cm focus distance (I think, any experience on that?)

I made quick test on the kitchen table, I measured dinstance from front element (more important for me than sensor) and got some results:

Extension distance
0mm 130cm
12mm 79cm
20mm 66cm
36mm 48cm
68mm 35cm

These are not very accurate measurements, and I didn't calculate magnication.

Pontax is from Denamrk too?

(Maybe there is no Pentax cameras in Iceland )

Yep, well Denmark anyway.

Great notes and precise enough. It´s the 12mm I´m going for with my K 2.5/135 that some times feels just that little bit to far from the subject on close-ups. Thank´s

And yes, I just learned that Pantox (is that a parafrase to Pentax?) is from Bornholm, very much in Denmark, (but also furtherest to the east, south of Skåne..but you probably know that)

Thank you Jakob. Impressive results you have there with the k2.5.

K 2.5/135 (with K7) Cropped some water away, zooming in to about 200% for a closer focus on the boy and dog (my son Gustav and fox Betty)

Gustav and fox Betty

The right crop made it a great photo.

[jt_cph_dk]

The right crop made it a great photo.

Yes, I agree, this lens has so much IQ that one does not notice the crop/enlargement at all. Thank´s. Regards
