Here's a picture of a fellow that used an old extending zoom lens as a way to elevate the subject in front of the camera for macro photography. The old lens provides the Z axis and the sliding worktable provides the X & Y axis
Thanks sippyjug104, that looks like a fun project and the parts are named.

Contact KEH...they may know of a photo academy that teaches lens repair. & donate it to them

Not really familiar with these lenses, but you may be able to get a reverse ring and use for macro.

OK I'm going to give this lens a second chance. Even though AF is part of the name this lens does NOT have auto focus.

Can you use the lense to focus manually? If yes, then the lense is still good for that purpose (manual photos). I bought that same lense for my Canoon T1i from Japan but the focus ring was stuck and I was going to send it back but the seller told me to keep it as he was satisfied that I had paid for the shipping. I fooled around with this lense for about a week and then I noticed that the focus ring did move a little so I continued to exercise it back and forth applying a little more torque pressure then the ring gave way and today it functions as it should (focus ring working with little resistance).
