They may start popping up on ebay in a few months. There are always a few people who mis-buy for their needs and decide to cut their losses.

I got myself the Nikon lens kit package. Quite satisfied with it; and as Cali said; its rugged beyond belief. I wanted to photograph the moon the other night, so I brought out the other lens, placed it on the table, and lo and behold, it fell of the table (I wuz drunkz). No damage. It works perfectly. :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

I would love to do astronomical photography. But it's sucks that it has to be done at night around here. Maybe I should move to the other side of the planet.

I have the same problem. I'm always drunk at night and can't take pics. Falling around all over the place. Maybe we should change locations? :smoke:
