There's a very interesting story that's connected to the lens give-away I had a few weeks ago that I thought you all might like to know about.
Mark Jerling, a member her on PF mentioned that a young lady he knew, young Miss May K would like some of the lenses.
He lives in New Zealand.
She lives in Missouri.
I sent her four or five of the lenses.
I live in Idaho.
But, the young lady didn't have a camera to go with the lenses, so I found a Pentax *istD L on a Craig's List ad .....
.....in San Diego.
The woman who sold it to me lives in Lebanon.
She had taken the camera to The Democratic Republic of the Congo during a Peace Corps. stint.
When I got the camera, it didn't have a memory card and I couldn't find a 2 GB card for it. BigDavePhoto, a member here on PF heard of our plight and graciously sent one to me.
He lives in Indiana.
It arrived today. I slipped it into the camera along with some AA batteries and BINGO! The camera works like a charm!.
So, tomorrow, I'm going to get it packaged up and sent off to young Miss May K, so she can begin her photography quest and post some photos for us!
Wow! What an around-the-world adventure this has been!
