Last year I bought myself a Tamron Adaptall2 35-135 zoom to fit onto my older Minolta XD7 cameras. I have had very little chance to try it out but after acquiring an adapter to fit it onto Nikon A1 and AIS bodies I tried it out today on a Nikon D800 which will take older manual focus lenses and found that lens is a real old cracker. I loosed of 8-10 frames and it is astoundingly sharp for 1980's lens with seemingly no colour cast problems either. I will upload a few frames this evening.
Each of these, if printed could be done so at 25.5"x 16" and a bit The camera was set at 400ISO The weather was sort of bright-ish with shutter speed of 60-250, but even so there will be inevitably a bit of camera shake. I had a tripod with me but there are no footpaths or refuges where I could use one in safety because of the width of the road (About 9 feet) and unexpected traffic approaching from both ends around virtually blind bends.
The lens is quite weighty and the focussing was a problem without a proper rangefinder with the zoom , a push-pull type it was quite difficult to get anything at all. But for the £44 I paid for it and 2 adapters, it's not a bad lens. I think it would give my Nikon 24/120AFS stabilised lens a run for it's money.
The bridge I saw on a plaque was built in 1510 so it has lasted well with nowadays quite severe weight restrictions. The house regularly appears on TV period dramas and in 2 episodes of "Vera"
