65.00 USD

Item Location
Austin, TX (United States)

Item Description
Tamron Adaptall 2 SP 35-80mm 1:2.8-3.8 (01A) lens. $65

It is a very underrated lens. Fast aperture, goes to 1:2.5 macro, and very sharp. Only contrast is a little lower if wide open, compared with Pentax high end lenses.
Lens is in good used condition. See photos. Has a little dust inside, some very thin and short slight scratches on front glass. Can you see them? The filter ring has a little marks on the OUTSIDE, but it does not affect anything. Filter can be screwed on easily and smoothly.

Zoom, aperture and focus work fine.

The PK-A adapter shown in the photos are NOT included in the lens price.

2. Adaptall-2 PK-A adapter. Very good condition: $45 + $8 shipping in USA.

Anyone unfamiliar who wants to try manual focus - this is a real sleeper lens, at the very top of the field in 1979 - perhaps the best MF medium zoom ever made in its price range - and still magnificent today.

Agreed - it's a great lens. Excellent on film or digital.

I have the same combination and this is an excellent lens. Would definitely recommend it to anyone as well as the PK-A mount... don't often see those for sale.
