For £10 who cares? :)

Seriously, Tamrons are no slouches. I would doubt this is a poor lens, chances are it's at least quite good.

According to adaptall-2.org yours probably is CT-135 at Google Translate

No personal experience with this particular lens. Just be aware that it's different from the more common 135mm f/2.5.

I'm envious. That should be a great prime. Let us know how it works out and post some pics from it.
