Close-up Set-up to 1:2

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. This set-up is capable in macro mode (as shown) to 1:2, half life size, at the sensor. 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.
