Tamron 70–300mm f/4–5.6 LD Di Macro – Canon EF – Boxed – Pls Read

Overview

The Tamron 70–300mm f/4–5.6 LD Di Macro 1:2 is a lightweight telephoto zoom lens for Canon EF‑mount DSLRs and film bodies, offering a broad focal‑length range and a dedicated macro mode capable of 1:2 reproduction.
This example is working, but has a significant zoom‑mechanism fault: the internal zoom coupling is broken, meaning the zoom ring does not function. The lens can still be zoomed manually by pulling or pushing the barrel, and all other functions operate normally. Supplied boxed.
