Tamron tele macro - Nikon D90 question...

[tjc]

Hi all.

Quick question I hope I can get the answer to.

Recently I was given a Tamron SP 500mm 1:8 Tele Macro lens and a Tamron Adaptall-2 custom mount.

It`s a long story but the equipment seems to be in really good nick I`m pleased to say.

Anyhow, I`m just wondering if it`ll fit on my Nikon D90?

If not, no real harm done I suppose but just wondering as I don`t want to try it if it won`t fit incase it damages something.

Cheers.

If the Adaptall-2 custom mount is for Nikon it will fit as adaptall 2 is AI. If not you can always buy a Nikon fit mount like this one:

The lens will be manual only, no metering or autofocus.

Many thanks for the reply and info Mike.

When I was given the gear I was just heading away for a few weeks to stay with the GF so I took the gear with me. As I`m home atm but going back to stay with her I left the gear there so after a quick phone call to her I can confirm that the Adaptall-2 has "For Nikon AI-E" on the side of the box...

Mmm... maybe I shoulda phoned her before posting

Anyway, glad to know it`ll fit the D90.

Btw, some excellent shots on your flickr. Love the Robin and the close ups of the Hoverflies, Ladybirds etc. Some cool car shots/plane shots there too and landscapes...

Thanks again.
