Today my wife and I went over to my mother in law's house. I brought over my d5100 to take some pics of their parrot just for fun. As I took out the camera my wife's mom said that there is a box in the basement with camera equipment her husband use to have. She told me to check it out and see if there is anything there I could find useful. I didn't have high hopes for anything decent because I didn't think he was into photography. Went downstairs and there was a Nikon D80 in great condition, but what was more exciting was two shiny lenses in like new condition: the 18-200 VR and the 12-24 Wide Angle. She saw me get excited about the lenses and trying them out in my camera and told me to just take them and use them. I looked them up and these are top class lenses both in the $1000 range each. I am very excited to start shooting with them. I was just considering spending money on the 70-300 zoom and maybe a wide angle down the road but I'm so excited to have a chance to use these for free. It's been a great day. Just wanted to share.
