Just about every Saturday morning, I'll pick out a slow bike and cruise
the neighbourhoods for yard sales, looking for all sorts of things. Today I
came home with a clean Vivitar/Tokina TX series 75-260/4.5 telephoto lens with
the case. Set me back a whole $5.00 It has a Minolta mount adapter, but I
have N/F, P/K, and OM adapters for this series.
Despite having used a number of telephoto lenses, I still come back to
these as they are solid, though a bit heavy. The tripod mount lets me attach a
Mobilgrip handle, and with the E-500/520/520 bodies it balances out nicely,
even if I add a teleconverter.
