For several years I made great use of this lens to photograph trains across the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the 1990s, my photography was telephoto heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, I\u2019ve shifted my focal length wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of my digital photos are made with focal lengths between 16-70mm (super wide to short telephoto).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, when I tend toward the longer telephoto range, I still reach for my film cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partially because I have several excellent long telephotos for my Canons, but also because when I think \u2018long\u2019, I think film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when Kris Sabbatino and I visited the Junction at \u2018East Northfield,\u2019 Massachusetts on March 8<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0(2021), I made this long view on Ektachrome using my old Canon EOS-3 with f2.8 200mm lens. This winning camera-lens combo has served me well for nearly 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps, it helps that I\u2019m photographing a classic train with 1960s-1970s vintage EMD diesels bracketed by searchlight signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"311\" data-attachment-id=\"31509\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/telephoto-ektachrome-at-east-northfield\/necr_3474_with_train608_sb_at_east_northfield_mass_8march2021_canon200mm_e100briansolomon_525031\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031.jpg?fit=1000%2C657\" data-orig-size=\"1000,657\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031.jpg?fit=709%2C466\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031.jpg?fit=474%2C311\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031.jpg?resize=474%2C311\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031.jpg?w=1000 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031.jpg?resize=709%2C466 709w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031.jpg?resize=205%2C135 205w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/NECR_3474_with_train608_sb_at_East_Northfield_Mass_8March2021_Canon200mm_E100\u00a9BrianSolomon_525031.jpg?w=948 948w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>New England Central southward 611 approaches the junction at East Northfield, Massachusetts on March 8, 2021.
