I recently got back from backpacking around Peru and Ecuador. Before the trip I looked at buying a telephoto lense to capture closeups of the animals I expected to see on the Galapagos Islands. The lense I wanted was priced at about $800 locally and $600 on the internet.

However, I was able to find a LendLister with a zoom lense that would do the trick. It made all the difference in the world in terms of my photos. See the results below. I gave him an extra compact flash card as a thanks, got the photos I wanted and saved at least $600. Thanks Makana!
