LETTER OF THE WEEK
Didn’t snooze, didn’t lose
For a long time I believed my favourite lens focal length was 50mm. Later I made another revealing discovery. When using a 35-70mm zoom lens it transpired that almost all my photographs were being made at the 70mm end, and even then I was wanting more telephoto capability. Then I had a stroke of luck sometime in 2016. Rising early, I was surfing eBay around 5.30am when I came across an auction for a professional Tamron AF 70-210mm f/2.8 lens. With minutes to go before the bidding closed, I got it for £165!
Six years on, and having dropped the lens a few times with no ill effects, I still marvel at its strength
