Pros: All.

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: Enrico in his review reminded me of one of the optical jewels in my possession for over 32 years. It gave me great satisfaction in slide film many years ago and I still use it every now and then on Pentax K5 and KS1 with satisfaction. The only drawback, on digital cameras with many Megapixels, is the Blue and Purple chromatic aberration that manifests itself when used at 300mm and F 5.4 (maximum aperture) with situations of strong light contrast. In slide film, even at strong magnifications (on 1.5-meter screens) the defect is invisible, but with modern sensors observed 100% on monitors it is very noticeable. Fortunately, it is easily corrected in post-production even with simpler Photoshop programs. However, if the photographic situation allows it, just close a stop to completely eliminate the problem for practical purposes. Good light and Happy 2022 to all.

Pros: Focal range, weight and dimensions not excessive, well built, Adaptall, optical yield with apertures from f5.6 to f11

Cons: At full opening vignette a little, lack of dedicated tripod ring

Opinion: Tamron 80s professional optics of the SP line, at the time I think it cost a good amount, today it is under 100 euros and - as mentioned in the other comments - it is a glass that can still have its say on digital sensors, keeping in mind all the limits of a zoom lens of over 30 years, starting with manual focus. Great focal range with dimensions and weight all in all not excessive, compared to modern optics of the same excursion. Excellent in macro, but limited in freehand use, because it lacks a dedicated tripod ring. Used as canvases, if you have the foresight to close the aperture around f / 8, it makes good, even towards 300mm. The Adaptall ring allows you to use it on multiple contemporary cameras, in my case Pentax / Nikon SLR and various mirrorless (with simple adapter ring). If you are looking for one, to be taken with its hood (well done) and with the hooking mechanism to the Adaptall in good condition, without games.

Pros: Surprising for a lens of 30 years ago! Lens respectable, succeeds in the macro where modern optics can not give ... vintage flavor for those who like me is a nostalgic.

Cons: I do not know at 50 euro including adapter ring nikon ...

Opinion: Bought at a flea market of used, I did not expect miracles but I was very impressed by the talents of this preserved vintage optics, In canvas is not that great 'but it does its dirty work. In macro, or close-ups especially for people like me who does not have much money to spend on optical more famous still manages to surprise. Opinion of a lowly amateur novice.

Pros: Optical fantastic, still says its.

Cons: You hear the 'absence of a dedicated support for the tripod.

Opinion: A tele versatile ,, Wide Range, quality of materials, and what can we say of 'Adaptall, mounts everywhere.Hotel' I bought xi its 300 mm ,, but I rediscovered as the macro with its rr 1: 1, 55 are the envy of many macro dedicati.Naturalmente all manual, but the connoisseurs apptrezzeranno appieno.Semplicemente perfect cost accessibili.Se you find it does not pass this one ,, deserves a place of honor in your park objectives
