Moggey,
You got a fantastic deal. As suggested try out the lens on all the cameras. Then weed out the overlaps and sell them on ebay. You would probably recover more than half of what you paid and you would end up with a very cost effective hobby.
One bit of advice, dont buy any more photographic equipment until you have put all you have to good use. This is a hobby, where we get carried away with purchases far too quickly.
Cheers Mate,
Aaron

Hi All
I have been recieving your news letter for a while and find this site a great source of information so I have finally signed up to the forum.
I recently purchased a large amount of Nikon equipment from a friend who has decided to give up his hobby.
Here is the list
Nikon D7000 ( 700 shots )
Nikon D90 ( 4500 shots )
MB-D11 battery grip
Nikon AF-S 50mm F1.8 G
Nikon AF-S 105mm F2.8 G ED VR
Tamron DI SP 10-24mm F3.5
Sigma AP0 DG 70-300mm F4-5.6
Nikon AF-S 55-200mm F4.5 VR
Nikon AF-S 18-55mm F3.5 - 5.6
Nikon AF-S 18-105nn F3.5 -5.6
Tamron XR Di 11 SP 17-50mm F2.8 (if) Aspherical
Nikon AF-S 24-120mm F3.5-5.6 VR IF ED
Hoya AI 28-85mm F4
Speedlight SB 700
Manfrotto Carbon tripod
plus loads of filters / sd cards
I purchased all this for £1200 ( about $1900) and I guess I got a good deal.
My question is do I need all these lenses ? I seem to have a few that overlap
I am newish to photography but have always had an interest but intend to make this a big hobby.
Are there any lens recommendations ? I plan mainly to be doing landscape and architecture.
Many thanks in advance

Thank you all for your replies.
As suggested I will test out each lens, probably what I may do is create 2 bags , 1 with the D90 and 1 with the D7000, I will then split the lenses between the 2 them , keep 7000 at home for more planned outings and keep the 90 in the car as quite often when I'm out and about I see something and think that woul make a great shot, my old Iphone used to get me by but now the possibilities are limited only by my imagination.
Many thanks again
