My friend asked me, whether this lens could be used on DSLR. I told him, it could be. then he said he will show me this lens.
2 days ago he brought this lens (Tamron 60-300 3.8-5.4 SP), 28-70/3,5-4,5 not SP , and tele converter ( too bad it has very bad fog). All in adaptall Tamron mount, but no adapter. all in box incl papers & leather bags
I: all can be used in DSLR but you have to find adapter
He: Adapter is difficult to find?
I: yes, difficult. and it's difficult to focus too, if you compare to modern AF lens
He: Ok, You better bring all of them, maybe you can use it, more
I: ??? ( can tou guess what I said?)
I never have experience with Tamron adaptall. no aadapter too, just watch soe in *bay
Anybody has experience with both lens?
Is it worth to buy adapter? or should I throw away them ? _________________ nex5, Olympus EPM1, yashica half 14, Canon eos 650 want to see samples of mine? please click My lenses

The 60-300 SP is a well regarded lens, probably worth getting an adapter for that one.

Tamron SP 60-300mm F/3.8-5.4 Model 23A: A somewhat above average performer compared to after market and OEM lenses within its class. Very good sharpness and contrast for a 5:1 zoom lens. Features macro at 60mm down to 1:1.55 with very good central image quality at moderate apertures combined with mediocre corner image quality. If you seek a normal to long telephoto zoom for general purpose sports and nature photography, then this is the lens to buy. If you desire better overall optical performance, better and more versatile macro performance, and are willing to sacrifice the longer 200mm to 300mm telephoto portion of the zoom range, then the SP 70-210 model 19AH is a much better choice. Nevertheless, this lens is a very good performer for those who need a near normal to long telephoto zoom lens. |

New ones are being made in China.
Look for Adaptall-2 mount for your brand of DSLR.

The last few on ebay finished (combination of both models):
£16.21 (sold, 4 bids)
£9.99 (sold, 1 bid)
£10.00 (unsold, no bids)
£15.00 (sold, 2 bids with Nikon adapter)
£19.99 (sold, 2 bids with M42 adapter)
£18.75 (sold, 2 bids)
£10.00 (unsold, no bids)
£5.00 (sold, 1 bid with M42 adapter)
So maybe closer to $20.00.

My adapter from Hongkong ( luis suggested) arrived.
Today I brought both lenses to visit friend.
I was excited to try 60-300 first, but weather and situation isn't suit for it. I tried it anyway, but no good result. I have to push ISO up to 800 minimum, and I don't like it.
beside, it's heavy too for NEX, and flare is killing me, CA...
I'll try another day next time.
I really surprised results of 28-70, here..

Yes there are 2 different version of the 28-70 (none of them being from the superior SP-series):
The old one has 62mm filter, the new one being smaller.
The old one is optically much better.
I had both - no only the old one....
The 60-300 is a very good but heavy tele zoom lens.
I had it and compared it to the Tamron 70-300 Di and the Sigma APO 70-300:
The 60-300 was always better, the AF-zooms needed 1-2 f-stops closed to get nearly the same quality.
But the Tamron SP 5.6/300 + SP 2.8/80-200 are even better.... (but a lot more expensive too).
Try the 60-300 as a macro lens - you might be surprised!

I've bought a 60-300mm for 20 EUR recently ; I was very surprised how sharp this lens is ! (300mm).
But : Heavy, no tripod mount, push-pull zoom with the 300mm at the far end, so you have to put your hand on the far end of this long zoom to focus : Not convenient and not discret for hunting. CA wide open. Odd macro position at a too close distance.
The 28-70mm was my "low cost" trans-standard zoom during my film years : A good lens : No more, no less. CHEAP !

Toss Phenix for the 28-70... This lens is great cheap one.
Ok olivier here my shot with 60-300, the weather was heavy rain on first shot. On 2nd shot I have to push ISO too, so itsnt high res.
my copy has some fungus, is it affect on flare/lack of contrast? I found its very prone to strong light, even with hood.
this is strange fruit with 28-70

Else, I think fungus (haze ?) is a reason for lack of contrats and strong light prone. _________________ Olivier - Moderator

Leboncoin is one of the last sites where we can make bargains. I should look at it more often.
For instance :
