Forum member Weliam gave me some free lenses ...

Since I got them for free , I decided to give them away for free ..

Amazing how people want free stuff ! Not posted for more than 1 hour and 9 replies all wanting the lenses ...

Once walking from Penn Station to B&H Photo I passed their back door.
There was a small dumpster around which photo types were swarming,
all trying to claw their way to the front to gain access.

When the crowd thinned out I peeked inside to see what all the commotion was about.
What was left was mostly older 50mm manual focus lenses.
Must have been stuff taken in trade by their used department
but defective or not valuable enough to add to stock.

Aaaaaah ! Dumpster diving , yes I have heard of that , they even made a TV series out of it ...
Probably why major chain supermarkets lock up their dumpsters now , and even fence them off behind barbed wire ...
