Darren: The Tamron SP 90/2.5 can be an A lens if you have the KA Adaptall-2 mount instead of the P/K Adaptall-2 mount, both are available. It also has an available dedicated 1:1 tube in addition to supporting the TC's. The Tamron can be found for $125-150 but is usually more and the KA AD2 mount is generally more expensive than the P/K version. -- M.
