VERY sorry,
I would have sent this directly to you, but repeted e-mail to your
adderss 
below kept being returned as undeliverable

I would be willing to sell you mine WITH an R4 adapter for $225.00 US.

.   
It is in EXC+ condition with hood and front cap.  
I can sell for so little because I got it in a LARGE
nikon out fit and have so every thing else at a profit.

I Now have the Leica 560 f6.8 so the Tamron is expendable and I need to
pay for the 560.


Thank you
Jerry
