Gift of Gear

Last weekend I was out of town for my mother's funeral. I was staying in a decent hotel on the river. My first morning i was out at sunrise using my zv-e10 with a 23mm viltrox just having fun. I noticed another photographer appeared with a telephoto lens pointing towards wildlife .

I hesitate but eventually decide to approach him and maybe learn something. Hes a local shooting on a Sony a7 v.

We had a good conversation and he ended it by offering me two lens he no longer had use for.

-Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD

-Sony - e 70-350mm f4.5-6.3 g oss

I happily accepted ,thanked him profusely and than parted ways.

Next morning I settled on the tamron lens to point towards wildlife .Once again he appears.We end up talking for quite awhile. After a bit he offers me some more gear he no longer needs.

-Sony ilce 7m3 (with box)

-Camera bag

-Charger

I offered him money and he said no its a gift. This really turned a somber weekend into great weekend.
