Really great lens. Still trying decide whether it's better than the Nikon 24/2.8 AIS or not...am hoping to do some tests this week Smile Is it the Adaptall 2 version?

Wow! Nikon 24mm f2.8 AIS perhaps best 24mm what I did ever try.

Click here to see on Ebay

Adapter is older perhaps lens too.

That is the later Adaptall 2 version with a slightly older Adaptall 1 mount, which will work fine. If you sell the mount you will nearly get a free lens! Laughing

Yes, I count it. Seller did put 50% higher shipping cost as usual , but on this low final price I don't care.

Thank you for identify me this lens.

I used to shoot with this lens, Attila and I liked it a lot.
But when I sold many lenses, I kept the Nikkor 2.8/24 and sold the Tamron.
So, in my opinion, the Tamron is close but not exactly as good as the Nikkor.
The Tamron is a little softer wide open and worse at the edge than the Nikkor - at least my copy was. The Tamron still is much better than many other 24mm lenses I have shot with!

Sound is great! Edges are not very important to me due m4/3.

I bought a Tamron 24mm f/2.5 off eBay last November and posted a test here at this forum that I conducted with the Tamron 24mm side by side against a Nikkor AIs 24mm f/2.8. You can find the test results here:

Scroll about halfway down for the images.

Here are a couple more I took with the Tamron 24mm using my Canon F-1 and Kodak Elite Chrome 100 slide film. I like to take pictures of people taking pictures Cool





I'm very satisfied with my Tamron 24, and I think that since you'll be using it with a u4/3 system, you won't even have to worry about edge sharpness.

Yes, for µ4/3 it's surely not bad. A nice "normal" lens!

I agree. I bought this lens from Carsten and I'm very happy with it.
