Got one today with box, two adapters (Canon FD and Pentax K-A) along with mint box and Tamron soft pouch case for 65 dollars off Craig';s List.


Now waiting for batteries to charge to try it out on the Lumix G2 and the Pentax K5... Smile Happy New Year guys!

I follow pricing on these a bit. That's an outstanding price in my view. You are well below eBay. I've not seen the soft case. A hard Tamron case came with my 52B.

I paid $10 for my 52B. That price included a 2X Tamron teleconverter with case and an adapter. Both the lens and teleconverter were virtually new. I realize $10 sounds like a low price but it was not. It's because I bought my 52B in 2005. Prices for all MF lenses back then were a small fraction of what they are today.

I shudder to think where prices will be a few year from now. Rolling Eyes

I feel lucky I got my SP90 for £25 four years ago, as prices were shooting up for it, then.
Pure jamminess I spotted it in a dealer's online inventory just at the right time and it was so cheap I had to phone to confirm there hadn't been a mistake in pricing. In the next couple of months I got the 2Xconverter and the bare extension tube, but those were peanuts.
