Well today I had a look in a 2nd hand camera shop near where I grew up. A whole host of old camera stuff packed in a small shop. In the window I spotted a Tamron 5.6/300 SP Adaptall-2.
It came with a case, front cap and all in fantastic condition for 30GBP. I'm very happy as the ones I've spotted on efray go for twice that in well-used condition.

Great score Martin, good to see you have a shop with decent buys. My local second hand camera shop is wise to market values so no bargains to be had, only fair prices. |

Awesome find matey! Randomly I also purchased one of these last week, although I paid a little more from a dealer @ £40.00. I owned a copy earlier in the year but it had fungus and performed badly, contrary to most people's experiences, so I'm hoping for better results his time round
