Thread: Tamron for nikon

Rick, I have a canon AE-1 Program with 28-50 and 100-300 canon lenses. My previous canon was MUCH older.

On topic - A mate of mine bought a Sigma 100-200 F2.8 lens for his canon in Singapore. After he bought it he found a genuine canon lens for only a hundred singapore dollars or so more - he was kicking himself...

However the sigma is a beautiful lens.

Now all we need is someone with an FM2, Nikkormat or F2, or an OM10 or maybe even an old Praktica (that weigh about 1kg ) with a Zeiss Jena lens

It just completes the section on manual or aperture priority beauties that date back to the boom time of SLR's.

FE2
Bronica ETR 645
Pentax K1000 and a later manual Pentax SLR.

Rick, lol!
Yep, had the Nikkormat FTN and FT2 (and FE2 like Simon). Never got around to having the FM2.

Simon, had an ETRS Safari (green ), but about '82 they started making them with lots of polycarbonate bits which was a bit yuk, so have swapped back to an old Mamiya 645, but can't use it at the moment as my Sekonic L328 F light meter has died...

None of the above bu t i have used a Yashica 635 and did have a Mamiya C220 and C330 with various lenses- talk about weigjht !
Apart from my camera my favourite piece of gear is a manfrotto tripod i boughtin the UK in 1993 just before i left to go to Sth Africa, it is absolutely as new and as solid as a rock, none of this plastic rubbish.

Really Right Stuff - Nice toys for accessorizing the camera and tripod

Damn right, couldn't agree more! Except I should have bought the quick release head!

Damn, another page to bookmark with stuff that I want and can't afford....



Dad still has a Mamiya C220, though I doubt it gets used much these days.
