Good Evening Folks,
I have decided to sell my Tamron 24-135mm lens. I haven't used it since I sold my 5D, my original reason for buying it. Just about all of those (5D) pictures taken with this lens were on my work computer at the time I was laid off, back in June of this year. Those pictures, I recently found out, were deleted. Anyway, I shot a few pictures in the past couple of days with my 40D. It is a very good lens. My only nitpick is that the AF is a little slow & noisy. There is a small 1/2mm scratch on the front element that you can see in the 2nd picture, as well as a little dust. This has no effect on the pictures taken. It comes with both end caps, the front is generic, a soft case, the box (upc was cut off), and a blank warranty card. If you have a problem with any Tamron product, you do not need a receipt, as long as you have the blank warranty card. Just tell them the item was a gift and the date you give them starts the warranty period for 6 years :thumb Because there is a very small scratch and a generic front lens cap, I'll sell the lens for $175 shipped in the CON US, USPS Money Order only.
As always, thanks for looking :thumb
Have a good evening

Good Morning Folks,
I have received several pm's regarding pay pal & shipping to other countries. At this time, I only want to sell to CON US, and, I will only accept a USPS Money Order. Thank you.
Have a good morning

Good Evening Folks,
I recently found a few pictures taken with this lens on my old 5D. After looking at them, I decided not to sell this lens after all. If the rumors about the upcoming 7D are true, then this lens will shine once again, especially if it is a 12 mp, ff camera. Even if the rumors turn out to be false, I'll pick up another 5D eventually, especially since I know what this 'walk around' lens can do
Thanks for looking

Hey Rocky,
You're absolutely right. I used this lens on my 5D for landscape and general walk around pictures. It never let me down. I paid $195 because of the 1/2mm scratch in the front element, (which doesn't effect the images) and I was going to sell it even cheaper, but I can't get another lens with this range for that price. It really is an under rated lens. I attached 2 pictures taken at 24mm on my 5D. On my 40D, it is very sharp wide open at 24mm & 135mm. My test dog Ginger, can attest to that lol.
Thanks for looking
