The only gripe that I found is unexplained over-exposure that I ran into with apertures smaller than f/5.0. Maybe I set the ISO wrong for the scenes. More test will tell<br /><br />@chunehoong, I am very excited about how good the color and bokeh of this lens. Even wide open shots are lovely. And I do have the 2x TC adaptall-2 01F. It usually cost around $30 to $40. I see less a reason NOT to find a good copy to use with my adatpall-2 lens<br /><br />@IndianaDinos, I think there may be other good Tamron adaptall-2 lens that are least talked about as they are not mentioned in the adaptall-2.com site. I recall Jim King with a copy of 28-105mm f/2.8, 35-105mm f/2.8 and one other one which are manufactured in the late years of adaptall-2 lens line. I especially impressed on Jim&#39;s report on his Tamron adaptall-2 28-105mm f/2.8, it is a big and huge lens but the color and bokeh are really outstanding. And I also loved my copy of Tamron SP adaptall-2 80-200mm f/2.8 adaptall-2 30A as I found that to be my poor man&#39;s choice for 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom lens with MF. That Tamron SP 30A is worth every penny that I spent on itHin Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-61128577187746618182009-10-26T16:38:15.517-07:002009-10-26T16:38:15.517-07:00Hi Hin,<br /><br />This lens is considered to be the best zoom ever produced by Tamron for their SP series. What are your thoughts with respect to the other Tamron zooms you tested/owned ? The picture with the pepper and salt bokeh shows almost perfect circles in the background bokeh ...IndianaDinoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06714320303248602969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-84098884046379186132009-10-25T09:03:52.309-07:002009-10-25T09:03:52.309-07:00This is a gem of a lens.<br />It&#39;s served me extremely well as a midrange zoom, producing plenty of crisp images. If only I had the 2x TC to pair it with.<br /><br />Great find, Hin.chunehoonghttp://chunehoong.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-76862558327630952832009-10-24T10:07:24.921-07:002009-10-24T10:07:24.921-07:00I keep hearing how good the Adaptal lenses truly are.
