By the way, it doesn't focus close enough for bird photography. For
that kind of use, you would need a short extension tube.

Tamron 31A 5.6 SP 200-500mm. It's an adaptall lens isn't it?
If so, this link may be what you are looking for.

It's Canon mount, but adaptall k-mounts are easy to find at fair
prices.
Auction ends Mar-08-06 16:58:10.
Right now it is 207USD, three bids so far...

Congrats.
Let us see some results. Does the auto aperture work on K-mount
bodies?
I have been looking for a K-mount Tamron 31A 5.6 SP 200-500mm - they
seem
to
be extreemly rare. Henry's (Canada) had one a year ago - it went for
more
than 600 USD. I haven't seen one since. I guess it's worth it. The
nwe
AF
ones don't come with a K-mount, unfortunatly. A resaonable
alternative
might
be the SIGMA 170-500mm. That's not exactly cheap eiter.

Emne: RE: How to behave at eBay
Thanks to everybody who has contributed to this thread. I am rather
new
to
eBay, so the input was very helpful.
I did send the seller a message asking if he could ship directly to
Norway,
or shipping to a third part in US. He refused the first alternative,
but
was
comfortable with a "Mr. third part" arrangement. Jon Meyer, are you
there?
I
need your mail address, please.
I won the auction. A strange oldie.

I went for this one because it had a short zoomrange, based on the
assumption that it is hard to make a good long range lens without
making
big
compromises.
Some of you may be shaking your head over this trtansaction, and to
be
honest, I don't know what I doing. I do hope it lives up to my
expectations,
a demanding decent performer. No more, no less.
Also got a Tamron 135/2,8 coming. This one has the adapter needed.
Looks
like I'm ending up as a Tamron guy ;-)
Just hope the seller is an honest guy. He has no record at eBay, just
like
me (ok, I've got one feedback).

Tim,
Technically, it does make you a bad Ebayer because, unless you get
permission from the seller, you're violating the conditions of the
auction if you ask for shipping to somewhere excluded in the
listing.
From a seller's point of view, shipping to a third party is risky
as well, since fraud perpetrators may play games of this sort with
third party payments and/or shipping and either pay via a fraudulent
account, forged cashier's check, or hacked Paypal account.
I'm not saying by any means that you're intending to perpetrate a
fraud,
but it can be very hard for a seller to detect the difference
between
a legitimate buyer and a fraudulent person.
Finally, if the seller doesn't respond, I think you should assume
that
he/she does not want you to bid. If you're really desperate for
the item, maybe you can arrange with a friend in the U.S. to
actually
bid and receive the item, then ship it to you.
Things used to be a lot more relaxed, say, 6 or 7 years ago, but too
many cheaters have figured out that they can get things for free
from sellers who aren't defensive enough.

the buyer a message asking if he can send it to Europe despite
what he has sayd. I have also suggested a send to a US citizen
and he will ship it on to me solution. No reply so far.
If I bid, despite this, will that make me a bad ebayer?
