		I just received a Nikon N80 35mm camera body with two kit lenses (28-80 & 70-300). I am not really interested in going back to film.
 
 Does anyone have a good suggestion as to where I might be able to donate these items? 
 
 I thought about ebay - but that was pretty boring. I'd rather donate the kit to a worthy beneficiary.
 
 Any suggestions?

		| Nice thought! The glass will work with most all of the Nikon dSLR's. Very cool! |

		| I'm sure your local school would appriciate it to lend out to students and help them learn photography. |

 My kids' school is 100% digital. I guess I could call around to see who still deals with film.
 
 Thanks for the idea.

		Both lenses should work with any Nikon DSLR. Good of you to donate them to a good cause. ( An exception being the new D40, which does not have a focusing motor in the body.)

		| You can try the junior college, they most likely have darkrooms and film classes and would get some use for sure. Our school received several donations while I was taking classes of all kinds of equipment. Kudos for donating. |

		Hi Jeff,
 I just sent you an email regarding the lenses.
 Thanks for looking into it. |
