I got it from fleebay more than 1 month ago, it's stay in the US with my other MD lenses. I dont know what it is, and I thought it's Adaptall. But when I receive it today, lol that's adaptamatic with m42 mount.
Got some dust, but I've cleaned it. And because I have some stupid ice rains in April, I cant take more example outside.
With 29,99 usd, I think it's worth a try. |

I had one of these for a little while. It is not a bad lens, not spectacular by any means but well made and has nice color and smooth bokeh

Yeah, I've seen your pictures ramcewan, it's very good.
Well, after the snow rain, I was going to take some more pictures. Right after I've finished, there's continueing snowing. lol.
Color is very good for me, I like it alot.
I dont know if my focusing is bad, so the sharpness is not great, but now I realize one thing: I'm going to sell one of my two preset pentacon 200 f4. |

Bad light is very bad indeed for long tele photography.
Among other things it can be much more difficult to achieve precise focus, which is critical.
For what its worth, I have this lens and I find it works rather well-

I did like this lens alot too and regret selling it, but I have other 300mm primes and really only need one.
Here's one of my favorite shots with the Adapt-a-Matic 300mm, although the subject is not in center the detail is very good for this old lens.

Nice samples.
Adapt-a-matic was the forerunner for the Adaptall system of interchangeable mounts from Tamron.
I got one of those Adapt-a-matic 105mm with MD mount, and found elsewhere an Adapt-a-matic mount for M42. It was easy to swap one mount by the other, so I have a M42 105mm and a spare MD adapt-a-matic mount  .
The old Tamrons are really good. I would'nt get rid of them at all.
Regards.
Jes.
