Almost as new lens. Only had 3 outings. Great results. Very slight cosmetic imperfection on black plastic ring around glass. Retired it so that a shorter lens could be used in an underwater housing.

Welcome to the forums Ian. Our members can look forward to your pictures in the magazine in a couple of weeks! I can vouch for the fact that you did not use this lens apart from tests really. It's hard to find a 'going rate' as so few appear on the used market.

Also, you might want to state whether you are VAT registered or not, I suspect you are which reduces the price for buyers outside Europe.

David

I can understand why so few turn up on the used market--it's a very nice lens to use. I'd be tempted by your price if I didn't already own one.

I am not VAT registered. The selling price will not include VAT.
Thanks for vouching for its history, David. As you know, the camera was dedicated to a specific use, and never got properly used in anger before I decided to switch to one which is physically shorter.
I use the same lens with a Nikon mount on my main crust-earning camera.
Thanks for your recommendation of the lens, Kevin

Ian

Hi Ian, another welcome to the forum from me. I look forward to seeing your pictures in the mag soon. I take it that we are to be treated to some shots in, and around, the water?

I am another happy user of the Tamron lens you are selling. It is probably my most used lens. For what it's worth, it gets a "highly recommended" from me .

Thanks for the welcome, Viceroy, and the endorsement of the lens.
Yes my article is all about my low cost approach to underwater photography in a swimming pool, featuring my Aqua Babies and Aqua Babes.
The a350 was the camera I needed to give me relatively big files, with a live view on a tilting screen. David Kilpatrick helped me greatly with his expert knowledge and advice.

The article is accessible on-line with the new edition, which is off to be printed now:

A welcome from me too, Ian.
Waiting for my copy of PhotoWorld to contemplate your shots.

Nice to be made welcome.
Does anybody want to buy my lens?

The posters (active participants) are outnumbered considerably by visitors Ian. You may find no-one interested, or someone will drop in and find the post. It also takes time for Google to index posts here; usually a couple of days. When Google indexes the post, people searching for this lens may be directed to the posting.

It is a good idea also to use Google and just run a routine search yourself, to see what other advertised new or s/h prices apply, as these can be pretty rapidly changing.

David

Thanks for the advice and information, David.
Camerabox price £329.99 http://www.camerabox.co.uk/productDA1.a ... -(Sony-Fit)&ProductID=5018

Simplyelectronics.net offer it for less - but I would NEVER deal with this company, having done so once (anyone who reads the various online reports will understand why). They kept £600 of mine for four months after failing to deliver goods, and it took a LOT of hasssle dealing with their 'refund' system (non-existent unless threatened) to finally get a cheque out of them. Even a credit card chargeback was impossible because they had put their 'sale' through a third party, thereby avoiding any liability and making the credit card guarantees worthless.

David

Duly warned!
Cheapest isn't always best.
Currently enjoying listening to your music, David. What a talented chap you are.

Hi Ian

Is the lens still aavailable?

Stewart, use the pm function to send Ian a direct email - more likely to get him.
