I have a Tamron lens, that I don't realy like. Perhaps You have noticed me complaining about how I don't lik it
I was going to send it to Tamron EU service, but I've read that even after calibrating, Tamron users are not contented with a result and yesterday when I checked all my raw files I could not find realy, realy bad sample. So I decidet, it's not worth 10 week waiting for nothing. But anyway I have a feeling that this lens is a bit too soft for my taste. Or is it just a bad karma or maybe I'm too much a manual focuss guy? What ever it could be, I want to get this lens far away from me.

I purchased it from ebay Japanese seller in July. Untill today I have shot only ~300 shots with it. So the lens is almost as new except a tiny little scratch on the focussing ring which I got on a first day. Glass is as new.

Here are few pics, shot with Tamron, hosted in Picasa (click on Download largest photo to get full sized image with exif):

Good sample
Acceptable sample
Another acceptable sample
Not so good sample
Another not so good sample
And a resolution chart

So about the trade: I don't know the value of this lens, so I'll consider any offer. If You have something more valuable, I can add few $, but I realy wouldn't like to do it.

What I would like to get? Anything photography related: AF, MF zooms or primes, flashes, bags, etc.
