I had no idea that I would have a new lens this afternoon.
A pro photographer we know bought a D200 early last year. He couldn't find the body only, so he bought one with the 18-70mm kit lens. He tried the lens and decided he didn't particuarly like it. Now he's going through a divorce, and could use some "positive cash flow". On the way to work this morning, Dawn asks if I know if he has any photo gear he doesn't use that I could use.
A quick visit to his office this morning, researched the price on KEH, met at lunch, and I now have a Nikon 18-70mm lens.
Any day above ground is a good day. But any day you get new gear is a great day!
