A friend of mine is offering me an older Tamron SP 90mm f/2.5 macro lens with a 2x TC. It is one of the older MF lenses with a heavy metal body and seems to be in very good condition.

I have tested it with my D200 and it meters nicely and produces very good to excellent images. At $100 including the TC it seems like a no-brainer, but am I missing something?

Does anyone else have this lens?

    I don't have one, but they test well:

    Look especially at the User Ratings and MTF Data.

    Three of the last 5 that sold at EBay sold for more than $100USD.

    What are you waiting for? You tested it and found it to be working. If you don't want it, let me know the contact information of your friend.
