Oops. I'm a week late. If no one has bought Tom's Tamron 80-200/2.8 yet,
be assured that it is a fine piece of glass. I enjoyed using it and would
have bought it myself, but I couldn't part with my Sigma 70-210/2.8. Tom's
example shows some use, but it handles photons just fine.

OK, a little more homework let's me put a price on this one. I'd call it a
KEH bargain. Nice, but it's been used. Smooth focus. No zoom creep. Lots of
paint wear on the tripod mount (includes both the Tripod mount AND the
Bayonet lens hood). Overall brassing on the exterior. Like I said, some use.
The glass is clear except for some small cleaning marks on the edge of the
front glass. Includes an OM Adaptall mount properly epoxied for an OM3/4
body to work without damage.
Here's the kicker, that should make it more interesting.
I only have $205 in it. I would take that plus shipping. I'd like it to go
to a good list member home. If there isn't any interest, I'm betting it will
do better on that auction site.
If the list member that borrowed it for awhile wants to chime in with his
experiences, feel free. If not, that's cool too.
Tom
