What lens did u use to take this photo? #3493098

Karma Wilson October 24, 2006

Hi Michele, I used my Tamron 2.8 28-70mm It could be a wonderful walkaround lens for the money, however the AF on my copy isn't the best. I think if I get it right it does well, but I'm not really happy with AF so I don't recommend it. Poor AF when doing candids is a nightmare. It's not the worst by any means, but I wish it were better.

Karma, Love this composition of your grandpa. It's a wonderful portrait and the bit about the Hoover Dam really ads value to the photo as well! Great job! #3530082
