1st: Fabulous price. I'm envious, especially since I bought mine new back
in the late 1980's or early 90's for the princely sum of somewhere around
$750. These MF lenses (and most of Tamron's SP line) are constantly
under-appreciated in today's market. I should get another one as a spare
some day.
2nd: Mine doesn't zoom by itself. I think it needs adjustment.

I've got one of these monsters on my hand for about 180USD all included, in
almost perfect cosmetic condition with case, tripod collar and perfect
glass, but it sounds like the zoom mechanism is very loose. According to
the seller it zooms by itself when tilted more than about 45 degrees up or
down. Anyone know if this a design fault, an easy fix with a screwdriver,
or a sign of excessive wear?
Any advice at all?
Regards,
Thomas Bryhn
