And I have to say I am happy with the results |

I'm glad I finally snagged one of these remarkable zooms last year. Just incredible. _________________ Michael

Well, I started a collection of Tamrons, snagged some lovely examples, decided to sell them all and now regret doing so and am about to start all over again
Its this mans fault http://forum.mflenses.com/my-tamron-ad-2-collection-t76668.html Plus the pic at the top of this page, lovely.
The 01A is very high on the list so if anyone has decent copy they want to sell I would be most interested.

Well Steve, mea culpa.
Believe me when I tell ya, I've been in your position before. This last round of re-acquiring gear, I made a solemn vow to myself that I wasn't going to sell anything that became part of my permanent collection. I'll leave it for my heirs to sort it out. _________________ Michael

I just had a rummage through my 'donate to charity' box in the garage and retrieved a 28-200 71A, a 103A an 03A and a 28-70 44A all in good enough condition. I've already got good examples of the 103/03A's but sod it! no more ruthless clearouts, from now on its hard core hoarding and nerdery for me, I want em all . _________________ I got where I am by avoiding where I was going.

If anyone can re-direct me to a repair page for 01A, I am very appreciated. Thank you.
I never open an AD2 lens, and need some guideline if I need to open it from the mount.
Zoom is something I wouldn't try, but I can give this one a try. I have opened some other primes. |

I picked one up due to it's reputation. I already owned the Tamron non-SP 35-70 f3.5 (17A version), and it's really pretty amazing.
In fact, comparing the two after receiving the SP 35-80, I'd have to say my 35-70 3.5 non-SP blows it out of the water. I may either have a dud SP 35-80 or a remarkable 35-70, but either way, if you come across the 35-70, it's definitely worth your attention and testing.

I picked a 17A up a few weeks ago, it was in very nice condition and dirt cheap, and I like Tamron's. I thought it might be a nice lens. But it has stiff competition from my Minolta Rokkor Macro 35-70 / 3.5 so I was prepared to let it be second best to the Rokkor.
I haven't tried them head to head, but I know it's going to be a close fight. This Tamron 17A is very good indeed. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....
I have loads of stuff that I have to get rid of, if you see me commenting about something I have got and you want one, ask me.
