I dusted off the old Tair with the intention of having a go with it this weekend. I have better lenses but I thought I would give it a good trial wide open. If it does a few reasonable pictures I will keep it for low light days. If not it is off to eBay. When I last tried it (Over a year ago) internal flair was a big problem in any situation with bright highlights or back/side lighting. Would be nice for portraits but not practicable . at 300mm!

The camouflage looks interesting.
Is that a Linhoff ballhead?

That's looking like a cannon of a british tank. I wouldn't sell my tair although I used it only a few times. No probems with flares here, but focusing is too slow for moving objects - and for architecture the wrong focal length.

For a ?10 charity shop buy it was a good bargain and not worth selling.
No not a Linhoff ballhead. A Manfrotto 486RC2 ballhead.

Yes. Manfrotto is the only Italian brand that can say to be in the top league for photographic tools.
