UPDATE — Both lenses are sold to Thea of Bloggerhappy.com
And as of today, The Husband is now a proud owner of a 55-250 lens thanks to this sale. Now he’s more excited than ever to shoot again. His next project is to have our DSLR cleaned which I’m sure will cost us more money. But again, it’s still not as expensive as buying a new model. Now that I’ve given in to all his wishes, perhaps he’ll start working out again. I told him before that if he loses weight without using any weight loss product, I’ll buy him a PSP. But given his daily exercise routine or the lack thereof,  it looks like he’s not that thrilled to have one anymore.
