I have another sale thread going with Cosina 55mm f/1.2, K-7, Tamron 24mm f/2.5 and Tamron SP 24-48mm f/3.5-3.8. One can combine sale for a negotiable discounts and save on shipping.

Cheers,
Hin

Now I need to test it further against my 44-M and 44-2... they all have different 'personalities'.

Thanks again Hin.

Someone pick up that Tammy 17mm... it is a beaut.

Thanks for your kind words. I have lowered the price for both remaining lenses. Hope they go to a nice home like the Helios.

Cheers,
Hin

I bought the Cosina from Hin. So far he has been great to deal with. Will update once I get the lens.

I am surprised the Tamron 17 is still for sale. It is a desirable lens.

First, I've dealt with Hinman in the past - good guy!

Second, I've owned and currently own a bunch of the Tamron's SP lenses - great value!!

**pbancr** · 11-26-2013, 01:08 PM

Hin is a great seller. The lens I bought from him is in mint condition. You can buy with confidence.

**Billy Joe** · 11-26-2013, 04:57 PM

Hey Pbancr... Have you shot it yet? I wanted to let you know you should pick up a 58mm hood for it when you can... Those big chuncks of glass can flare a bit and the hood helps. I have a metal one that is nice.

Here is a link to the one I have...

Amazon.com: Bluecell 58mm Metal Lens Hood protector for DSLR camera: Camera & Photo

The sale to Pam included the matching lens hood with cap. And I bundled the original Cosina branded cap too. I almost included my Hoya +1,+2,+4 close up filter set in 62mm but I have great need for the set. Pam can easily find the close up filter or a Raynox 150/250 as an add on to the Cosina.

I should have known you would go the extra mile Hin... very nice of you to include the hood and both caps.

hinman · 12-02-2013, 03:44 AM

A bump for the new beginning.

hinman · 12-03-2013, 09:51 PM

Another bump, the prices are lowered and reasonable offer will be considered. I am motivated to sell as I have lot more goodies waiting for its debuts.

update: A search in ebay can reveal pricing on the Tamron 17mm f/3.5 ranging from starting bid of $249 to buy it now price of $349

I really like the Sears 135mm lens (it's M42 mount, right?)
I'm living in South Korea, so can you inform me the delivery fee? Thank you very much ^^

It is indeed in M42 mount. I have sent you private message PM about the shipping cost to South Korea. Hope this mint copy of Sears Auto 135mm f/2.8 in M42 mount get sent to a good home.

Cheers,
Hin

Quasimodo · 12-04-2013, 11:15 AM

It will, definitely. I'm collecting vintage lenses and I was impressed by the quality of this lens. I got lots of information from this forum but just joined recently. I want to compare this lens with my Jupiter 37A, it will be very interesting.
