![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wide angle bayonet 6圆 - not telephoto, no idea how I got that wrong, for Rolleiflex 1, I think. Optomax f3.5-4.5 35-70mm M42 auto - clean and working well Minolta AF zoom 28-80 1:3.5-5.6 - very clean and working well Sunagor 1:6.3 400mm T-mount PK - Teeny bit of white discoloration on rear element, the usual problem with the glass rather than fungus, but looks like it works well. I'll need better weather to test them properly: Unfortunately the canon zoom has slight fungus in the front element, but everything else looks OK on first inspection.Miserable weather today so I decided to give the car boot fairs a miss and get some housework done, also sort through this lot, give them a clean, and find caps etc. Considering my unsteady position and having to reach through the brush, I feel the Tamron is the only lens I have that would have succeeded in that circumstance.Ī job lot of 18 lenses - haven't checked them properly yet, but I paid about £3.50 each and they include Minolta, Canon, and Nikon AF zooms, a Rolleiflex-fit teleconverter with lens for the viewfinder, a T-mount 400mm, and some other fun stuff so I ought to make a decent profit. Still hunkered down, I put my K-S2 in Live View and estimated the distance to the nymph, adjusted my Tammy 35-80 accordingly, reached out one-handed and snapped a brief burst until the butterfly took off. A wood nymph butterfly - I had never seen one before - had landed in the brush. Last August during a walk I had squatted down to look at a crane fly when a fluttering movement to my right caught my attention. That said I bet your Pentaxes will deal better with flare. Obviously the oldest ones look and feel the best (the M, A and Tokina) compared to the lightweight plastic of the other two, but the FA scores very well for sharpness on the Forum.Īny advance opinions welcome, comparisons will take a while.Sorry to read about your Tamron 35-80 - I have one and it's sharp and the close-focus is great. Next is to compare with a few others to choose the best replacement for my Tamron SP 35-80 (which has a bit of ooze on inside of a front element) as a light-weight short tele. There is a bit of dust on the edges of the rings, and a hint of grind on the focus ring occasionally, so I am counting on everything moving more freely with use. I found a A 35-70mm F4 (constant aperture) at a pretty good price, $AUD40. I surrendered to both LBA and curiosity today. ![]()
