Lens swapping thread?

    Hey guys,

    Just had an idea. New to the DSLR game and been pricing lenses recently, only going to be able to get one extra one over the kit lens for a while because of the prices.

    What would you think of having a lens swapping thread? ;)

    The idea would be to post what lens you have, and what you'd be interested in. And if another boardsie in your area has a match... you could meet up and swap lenses for a couple of weeks. Would be a good way of trying out lenses before investing too.

    What do you think? Would it work?

    In theory it's a great idea.

    Unfortuntely, I wouldn't feel comfortable handing my lenses to anyone off the internet for a couple of weeks.

    Maybe a lens swap evening would be better?

    I like the lense swap evening too,Im sure someone would love to play with my nifty fifty 1.4 or 70-300is in return for either a fisheye or a 10-20mm ;)
