Donating another lens. Nikkor AF-D 35-80 f/4-5.6 *READ CAREFULLY*

Nikon FM2
(saving up for a Nikon D5100)

Tamron 90mm f/2.5 MF Tele-Macro lens
Zoom-Nikkor 43-86mm f/3.5 MF zoom lens
Vivitar 75-260mm f/4.5 MF zoom lens (currently missing, only trace i could find was the case it came in)

having an autofocus lens for when i get a D5100 would be nice..

That lens won't auto focus on a d5100.... you need AF-S lenses

Having a camera with a focus motor was not one of the criteria for getting this lens. Only that you already have a camera that the lens will fit on.
 
Like I said before I am up for any gear. I posted one of my photos in the General area. It is call Old Time Texas. Check it out and tell me what you think.My 50MM is the bomb but I would like to have more when my sons are in sports. Its hard getting shots with only a 50mm.

bumping for the weekend. (Friday is the start of my weekend since im off Fri, Sat,Sun)
if anyone else is interested in this lens, now would be a good time to mention it. Post your interest and list of gear for consideration.
Want to find this lens a good home this weekend so I can move on to the next lens we plan to donate.
 
Well wait, what is the next lens that you guys are going to put up? Maybe I want to hold out for that lens! You just cant drop that on someone! I am all confused and dont know what I am going to do! I was trying to do my best Sheldon impression from The Big Bang Theory.

well, the point of me and my wife donating these lenses is that there might be people with a need for them, but without the financial means to purchase them. So we give them away, and cover the shipping costs so there is zero out of pocket expense to the recipient. this isn't about which lens you think is better, or what lens you want more.
It should not matter what lens we have plans to donate next. if you NEED this lens, ask for it, and don't worry what is coming next. if you are just throwing your name in the hat because it is free stuff, you are tainting the spirit of our donation, and we will discontinue any future plans of gear donations.
 
I am sorry pixmedic if you took my comment the wrong way. I was just trying to put a little laugh into this. Once again I am sorry. I am thankful for anything that people want to share. The camera community is just like the shooting community. We are all here to help make everyone better.

maybe the last time for a bump on this thread.
if there's any stragglers that might need this lens, read the post CAREFULLY and submit your gear list.
would like to make the final decision today or tomorrow so I can get it shipped out on my day off Tuesday.
Cant start the next one until this one is gone.
If you posted here, but changed your mind, please let me know so I can take your name off the list.
 
Well, with both my wife and I shooting we could use the extra lens. She recently was placed on forced unpaid leave by her company, way too long of a story.

We have a D80 and D5100. I know this will not work on the 5100, but since it will on the 80 it will allow her to use the this while I use the the 18-55 we already have. Our other lens are the 50 and 24-85. She is the portrait person where as I am the sports/landscape person.

Umm, we are starting out a small yet growing photo business and as always cash is tight so being able to pick up another lens in this range would be very helpful.

Thank you for the chance.

After careful consideration of the applicants, we have decided that DeltaNate is best suited for our 35-80 AF-D lens, as he currently has no zoom lens.
We appreciate everyone's efforts in making this donation a success, and we look forward to the next round of donations being equally successful.
again, congratulations DeltaNate. I will try and get it boxed up and shipped out on my day off Tuesday. (as usual)
we look forward to seeing some pictures taken.
