I've been meaning to put this up for sale for a while but have procrastinated because I hate to part with it...
Tamron 500mm f/8 Adapatall2 lens with original Nikon Ai and Canon EOS mounting adapters. I used this lens on Canon 20D, 40D and Xsi without any issues (I think it should work on all EOS bodies) as well as the last of my Nikon film bodies FM and FE2 (have heard the lens is not compatible with newer consumer Nikon DSLRs, so check before you purchase).
This mirror lens is gorgeously built with amazingly dampened and smooth focus ring (one full turn from infinity to 1.7m). Lens is very sharp but remember that you'll have to manually focus it, which can take some practice on newer DSLR viewfinders. As you may know, these lenses can produce ring out of focus highlight which you can use for either good or evil depending on your inclination.
You can see a good review of the lens (compared against a much more expensive Canon 500mm F4.5 L) in this Bob Atkins Article
I am willing to sell it with or without both adapters but am pricing it here with both adapters included (BTW - the Tamron-original EOS adapter is EXTREMELY rare and I've seen it going for $100+ by itself). Complete kit including lens, Ai and EOS adapter, case, hood and some of the original paperwork with shipping is $320 OBO.
You can see high res samples of photos taken with the lens In my Gallery here at Modernstills.com
Thanks and good shooting

Lens and two adapters (Nikon and Canon) including shipping and (if applicable) Paypal costs is now $275 for any location within the continental US.
If you are only interested in only the lens with the Nikon Ai mount (with out the Canon EOS mount adapter) the prices is $215.
Thanks
