[ORIO] Tamron 28mm lens + M42 adaptall 2 ring

Orio · Expire: 2012-12-04

I sell my Tamron 28mm lens f 2.5 together with the M42 adaptall ring that I bought for it.

Marketplace ad:
http://www.mflenses.com/mfl-ebay/Tamron-28mm-f-2.5-M42-adaptall-2-ring.html

I bought both the lens and the ring new, so I am the first owner.
I paid 40 Euros for the ring alone.
Here I sell ring + lens at only 75 Euros.
The M42 adaptall 2 ring features a fully working aperture pin like all most recent M42 lenses.
The lens is extremely sharp stopped down and the very small size makes of it an ideal companion for traveling or trekking.

Price lowered to 60 Euros.
Last discount before moving to Ebay.

Now the total of lens + Adaptall 2 M42 adapter is just a little bit higher than the cost of adaptall ring alone
(remember both items were bought new and very rarely used).
I also add, that I have found the original Tamron cardboard box and the original leather hard case for the lens. Both will be included free with the purchase.
Tomorrow I will add a photo of the box and case.

Orio, link doesn't work.
As a side note, a M42 original adapter ring is a rara avis. I had 2 of them. One of them sold it with a 60-300mm SP Tamron.
The second one stays with me even if I don't have any Tamron lenses left.

I know it's rare. I paid 40 Euros for this one, I found it new at a store.
That's why I said that 60 Euros for the adapter and the lens (a good lens) is a steal.

But lens market is strange, users seems to prefer to spend money on strange lenses, sometimes even lenses that don't even fill the image frame and vignette, rather than taking advantage of these solid performers at good deals.
Having said that the Adaptall ring's value is 40 Euros, try to find anywhere else a 28mm lens that performs like this Tamron at a 20 Euros price... for 20 Euros you often don't even buy a no-name piece of junk.

Thanks for fixing the link, it is very strange, it is the second time that I copy a marketplace's URL from the browser's window, then I paste it into a message and it doesn't work.

The lens is quiet cheap consider as it comes with the m42 adaptor. I regert to sold my m42 adaptor at $20 eur after I know it is quiet expensive.

A good copy of lens is a capable performer. Wink

It's a fantastic lens for a Sigma DLSR! I have used it on my SD10 and there it really rocks!
