Which one? they made several different 90mm macro lenses. I have a MF 90mm f2.5 in adaptall2 mount (55mm filter version ) that has outstanding image quality and works well in every mount I have tried including KA. jco -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dave, I used to have Tamron 90/2.5 the earlier version with 49 mm filter threads. I had it with KA adaptall adapter. It was splendid lens. There was just one very small problem with it. Sometimes it would produce a flare/glare circle straight in the middle of the frame. That was with *istD at

Pentax produces DFA 100/2.8 which seems (I am not sure really) no worse than FA version and it is really light and small (49 mm filter threads)... It is also said to be optimized for digital and it does cover full 35 mm frame. Boris David J Brooks wrote: On 4/6/07, Boris Liberman [EMAIL

I have the AF version of the 90mm Tamron f2.8 in Pentax mount, very happy with it. It is probably more flare prone then Pentax glas. However, why would you give up the FA 100/2.8? On Friday 06 April 2007 16:06, Boris Liberman wrote: Dave, I used to have Tamron 90/2.5 the earlier version with 49

Indeed, I agree with you, Brian. If one own more than one camera system - the adaptall lenses are a blessing. It just so happens that I own only Pentax ;-). Boris Brian Walters wrote: I've been using this version for years and think it's excellent. However, I've never had anything else to
