Not sure which one this is, however should be a good lens to use in any
case. I
hear that you use lose several F-stops with the extension tubes.
All accessories, box, and case are included according to description. The F2.8
version still sells for $400+ new. The F2.5 is a hair faster?
I will probably use this more than the other Tamron lens...so switching
wont be
that often.
