Re: Enablement: Tamron SP 300mm f5.6 model 54B
I saw it first on Pentax Forums Marketplace, but the seller is from Colorado and I saw the same lenses listed by her on dpreview.com - so it would not surprise me if she listed it on Craigslist in her area, as well. She has other Tamron lenses as well. (People would snap up her 01A for $59 if they knew that lens.) She also has PK/A Tamron adaptall mounts at about 1/2 of their usual price. Sadly, the seller is ill and tells me she must give up photography.

A suggestion for all these freaking email tests...
I realize that all these email tests make the PDML look more active than it really is, but if you'd like to make the list a little more interesting you could email actual content or discussion (maybe a PESO) instead of a TEST email. And THEN, to see if it was received by the list, you could simply check the PDML archive: http://pdml.net/pipermail/pdml_pdml.net/ Click the Date link in the line for the current month and you'll see if your message hit the list. This archive appears to update almost immediately. No need to wait for anyone to reply to you for you to know your test worked (or didn't). As a bonus, you'll look a little less like a technical troglodyte to the community! thxkbye -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- 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.

Enablement: Tamron SP 300mm f5.6 model 54B
I tripped across a manual focus lens last night that I was not previously aware of: The Tamron SP 300mm f5.6 Flat Field (model 54B), an Adaptall2 lens. The two big things it has going for it are lightness and close focusing capabilities. The 54B is surprisingly light at 610 grams. For comparison, the new DA* 300mm f/4 weighs 1070 grams. By my calculations, that makes the 54B a full POUND lighter. As far as close focusing capabilities go, the 54B can match the DA* 300mm f/4 at 1400mm. (With a 1.4m close focus, the DA* 300mm is one of the closest focusing 300mm primes on the market, in comparison, the Nikon and Canon 300mm f/4 focus at almost 1.5m.) The 54B can, by itself do a 1:3.3 magnification ratio. Put a Tamron Flat Field 2x on it, and you can do 1:1.6 (albeit at f/11). Being able to get those kind of magnifcation ratios at 1400mm makes it a potentially great lens for dragonflies, butterflies, etc. All of that means nothing if the lens doesn't produce results with today's DSLR. Looking at what people have done with it got me pretty excited: https://www.flickr.com/search?text=Tamron+54B Check out this set by one user: https://www.flickr.com/photos/slar/sets/72157630155808874/ I think there is a reason that this lens earns a very respectable 8.75 user rating in the Pentax Forums lens database. http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/tamron-adaptall-2-300mm-f-5-6-54b.html Best of all, the one I found was $79 shipped. I love bang for the buck! The general consensus is that this lens is optically the best of all the manual focus 300mm lenses out there. One reviewer who has tried a lot of them says: SUPERB!! I guess don't need to say more. I didn't find any weakness of this lens, color, sharpness, macro capability just excellent, if compare all this features with other 300 mm lens this is the number one. Better than Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 300mm f/4, Pentacon/Meyer Orestegor 300mm f/4 , Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI or Tair 3S. The reduced speed of this lens (f/5.6 maximum aperture) is mitigated by today's ability to get great results at higher ISOs. I thought I would pass this along for anyone else who is looking for similar capabilities without breaking the bank. Being an Adaptall lens, one can use it with either a PK/M or PK/A adaptall mount (or an m42 adaptall mount, if you want to put it on your Spotmatic F. :) -- 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.

Re: Enablement: Tamron SP 300mm f5.6 model 54B
Quoting Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com: I tripped across a manual focus lens last night that I was not previously aware of: The Tamron SP 300mm f5.6 Flat Field (model 54B), an Adaptall2 lens. The two big things it has going for it are lightness and close focusing capabilities. I have one of those - as well as the 2x adapter. I haven't used it for some time, though - manual focussing of long lenses is a bit of a challenge these days. I used to take it to the Sydney Cricket Ground once a year where I'd use it, tripod mounted, for some action shots of the players. I may do that again this year. I only wish it had a tripod collar - it's not a heavy lens but I always felt it was a bit unbalanced without one so I cobbled together a rough support to move the tripod support a bit further from the camera. Hope you enjoy yours. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- 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.
Auto Show Pics
With the demise of the Time’s auto section, I had only a couple of things to accomplish at this year’s North American International Auto Show, so I was out of there in about five hours.

Re: Auto Show Pics
The 05/06 GTs were not initially sold out (4038 out of planned run of 4500 were built). The highest price I've seen for the 05/06's has been around $300K. No mention has been yet made as to the length of production run on the recently announce GT. While Ford hasn't announced a price, some of the usual internet sources hint at $200 to 250K, being conpetitive with cars of similar status.
