Yesterday was the last day for an old friend. The Henry’s Outlet Centre on Queen East closed its doors for the last time. It will be relocating out in Mississauga but I doubt I’ll be heading out that far to paw through the collection of old and weird items that made the original location so fun. I spent quite a lot of money there over the last 6 years and I’ll miss it. That said, I expect my wallet will not, and my camera collection’s likely to grow slower now that I’m not regularly tempted by $20 film bodies and $39.99 lenses.
My last purchase was an interesting find, a Tamron Adaptall-2 SP 28-80mm f3.5-4.2. While the specs are fairly pedestrian, this is actually an excellent lens, part of Tamron’s ‘SP’ line of high-end lenses. I picked it up along with an apparently jammed-on FD Adaptall-2 mount for a low, low price. As it turns out the mount wasn’t jammed, it just needed to be locked into the AE position to release properly. And thus my Tamron Adaptall-2 collection grows.
