Some more budget photography

My quest for budget equipment has found me a Tamron 35-70 F3.5 Macro lens. I got this off the usual auction site, and it came complete with an OM Adaptall mount, so I good bargain at £26 (UKP).

I really got this for its Macro capability, which seems very good - this is the model that automatically zooms in to 70mm as you turn the focus ring past 2ft, right down to 0.8ft (a ratio of 1:2.8 is on the barrel). However, I've not really had a chance to try out this feature much yet (too much poor light at the moment).

I went for a short walk yesterday, exploring the local rock pools, and took a few shots too. It was low light, and late in the day, so had to use a bit of ISO boost.

Here's a few I took with this cheapo lens. Olympus E-410, Tamron 35-70, PP'd in Aperture 3.
