Before I lucked into a great deal on a Pentax A* 300/2.8 I used to own the Tamron Adaptall version, which produced excellent results. Apart from that, and a Vivitar 19-35 (which I still have, somewhere) I haven't used non-Pentax glass (apart from TCs) for over 30 years. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
