I got this cheap ($15) off eBay pretty much just for the nikon adaptall-2 mount. Took it out and tried it out. Has some very funky bokeh, but I think it's pretty nice for more landscape shots.

Here's a hand-held panorama (10 images)

Which Adaptall-2 lens is it? I have the 59A 28-70mm and it's as sharp as any of my primes at 28-35mm. Very little if any CA as well. Tamron made some great sharp zooms in the standard Adaptall-2 line. The 40A 35-135mm zoom has good sharpness and contrast over the entire range.

It says 159A next to the serial number.

Tamron stopped produce this lens in 2006.

I too have one... though I have found very few reviews, even on the Adaptall-2 site?

Digging up this old thread; I bought a 59A model as it was cheap, to use on my Canon AE-1 which I've only got road worthy today. My only FD mount lens is a Viv 70-150 so this should cover the focal lengths i'm interested in.

I'll be running film through it if it ever stops raining, very soon.

Turning over this old thread again. Did it ever stop raining? Wink

I have 59A too. Iirc I was surprised by IQ for a zoom.

Not on http://adaptall-2.org but here.
