but interested in hearing opinions on the lenses...
The story...
Was browsing the local kijiji tonight and found a fellow selling a couple of lenses and a film body for $75 and as the boyfriend has been bugging me to get something with a little bit of reach I decided to call the guy and find out -more. The lenses were a 28-80mm and a 70-300mm f4-5.6, both auto focus G lenses, they came with a Nikon F65 body and a bag. So we headed over to have a look popped the lenses on to see if they would focus with the D90 body (they did of course, I was pretty sure they would) He packed everything up for us and we were off... I was pretty sure that for $75 I could not really go wrong
In the car I was poking through the bag (yes that even included a bag that currently sells for more than the $75) and still can not believe that I found he had all the paperwork. The original receipt, bill of sale, warranty cards and manuals! There was even a filter on each lense and the original filter holders.
I know the lenses are not fantastic (I had been, and still am, looking for a 70-200 f2.8) but would like to know about any experiences anyone has had with them.
Thanks
