Wanted high quality zoom lens for non-profit organization, I am looking for private or Corporate sponsorship. This is for a group of individuals in a long term alcohol drug rehab center in Central Florida. I am training a group of 6 men in the art of Photography and we are photographing the Kissimmee Lake area, a beautiful Lake and surrounding swamp like setting and are shooting mostly bird photography (zoom) as well as landscape. Our major outing is in two weeks with two guides and three airboats (These people are donating their time, equipment, gas, etc.)
My goal is to create though nature and photography a sense of beauty and connection with their surroundings, something that has been missing all their lives and I’m doing this from experience as I went through this some six years ago and the fondest memory was someone who did this for me.
I’m just taking a shot here because if you don’t ask nothing happens and I will provide viable references to any person or corporation that is kind enough to help us out…
Thank you and sorry if you may feel this inappropriate that isn’t my intention.

P.S. I have provided much of my own equipment and this in addition is just out of my financial reach but WILL PUCHASE if I can work out an agreeable payment arrangement.
