+wilco 11 Posted July 20, 2011 Nice! Is it handholdable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Jimbib 747 Posted July 24, 2011 Actually I don't find it too bad hand holding it personally, just need to get a strap now to affix to the lens, not the body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+ST0RM 145 Posted July 27, 2011 A fellow Sony shooter. Nice piece of glass. I'm looking to replace my dinosaur Sigma 170-500mm. If I might ask, is it used and how much? Cheers! Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Jimbib 747 Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) It is used, yes, got it in an eBay auction for a touch over £460. There's a bit of information over on Dyxum about this lens, and one other review I have found on Pentax mount... http://pentaxlenstest.blogspot.com/2010/03/tamron-sp-30028-if-af.html There really isn't much available to read about this lens, it was only made for the Alpha and Pentax mounts. EDIT: Update, found one over at DP Review that someone seems to be willing to sell, cosmetic condition isn't great, but this lens is built like a tank, glass looks okay from the pics and the mount looks clean too. It still has the original drop in filter. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1056&thread=38985234http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1056&thread=38985234 Edited July 27, 2011 by Jimbib Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ST0RM 145 Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks for the tip. I don't have an account for DPReview. If you do, would you mind a PM over to that gent and ask what he had in mind on price? Contact me via PM if you do. Thanks! -Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
