AF Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 LD Tele-Macro Lens in Telephoto Mode.

This is an image of my Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D) Camera and attached AF Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 LD Tele-Macro Lens. I bought this lens "As Is" from KEH in EX condition for $25 US. The AF is broken and does not function. This lens works beautifully as a manual focus lens. For this image, I used my manual focus Vivitar PK-A/R 17-28mm f4-4.5 Wide Angle Zoom Lens on Pentax K20D camera, manually focused, hand held, SR 28mm, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/20 sec, with available ambient light. This is a full resolution large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) without any adjustment, cropping, or resizing.

We had visited the Great Dismal Swamp in Suffolk, Virginia, USA, along the road to Lake Drummond and stopped for the boardwalk to the Underground Railroad Pavilion. We were approached by a ranger who stopped to ask if we had seen the rattlesnake. A previous visitor reported the sighting. The Timber Rattlesnake, likely a female, was resting in the vegetation next to the boardwalk. We had walked right past her and did not see her until the ranger pointed her out to us. This image shows the snake among the vegetation. For this image, I used my Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D) Camera and attached AF Tamron Model 572D 70-300mm f4-5.6 LD Tele-Macro Lens, manually focused, hand held, telephoto mode, Focal Length 70mm, ISO 1600, f32, 1/200 sec, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash. This is a full resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) and is without any post processing, editing, adjustment, cropping, or re-sizing.
