Any opionions on the above lens?

Been offered one at a good price (seen a few on ebay £500ish), its the old Manual verison which doesnt worry me too much.

Unfortunately it only comes with a nikon adapter so ill have to get the canon one if i want it. But means i cant try before i buy.

How does it compare to modern canon equivilents in terms of IQ? Ideally id like a 400/5.6L but cant stretch that far at the minute and i shouldnt lose money this. Would give me something to play with until i can save some more.

Cheers Neil
 
any other opinions on this lens?

2.1Kg :eek: Ouch

I have one for my Nikon D2H. Nice MF Lens. Comes with a !.4 Converter and a small " Handle" that gives a good balance and fast + easy one-finger MF focus. Faster manual focusing than using my old Nikkor 200/2.0 ( 2.5 Kg.)
I use the Tamron lens with the Nikon AF TC16 converter and have a 480/5.6 Semi-AF lens. (On a Nikon 1.5 = 720/5.6)
