Hi
I want buy big lens.
Have little big money.
You want sell?
I'm on the verge of buying a somewhat beat up Tamron 300mm F2.8 with
a TC for about $900 CDN including shipping to BC ($650 US + $70
shipping + terrible exchange rate) from a stranger in the USA. (Is
this a good deal?)
Would anyone on the list like to take advantage of this opportunity
to trade some long fast glass for some cold hard cash?
Cheers,
Francis

It's a good lens, and if the TC is a matching Tamron Pentax PZ-AF BBAR
7 (2x) 4 (1.4x)(# of elements) it's a good combo.
Haven't used mine in a few years, it's currently buried behind towers
of packed boxes in the Family Room. (Don't movers understand that a
backpack and a sealed hardened shipping container should not be the
first thing put into the corner of a room?)
The price seem reasonable for a lens that cost $1400 15+ years ago.
TC's cost between $150 - $200 new. Just be sure if focuses very easily
and smoothly (feels loose and sloppy), or the camera's AF will have a
hard time, maybe stall.
