Should I ever need to blow something up, I'll be going back there!

They told me that Nikon only sold the dead lens as part of the D-80 kit.

... found a supplier ... selling the lens I had broke with no need to purchase a new body ...

Oxygen Concentrator + Propane = you're already equipped to Blow Things Up!
No Good Looker required!

As for the Lense Fiasco - sure hope you're taking the Tamron back for a refund!

And maybe you should call Mr. Nikon and ask him IF that lense is available
as a seperate item.
Just Maybe the little shop selling it *might* have broken a camera kit apart
to sell a body to someone who didn't need the lense.

Any chance Mr. Nikon would *fix* the dead lense under warranty?
Just don't mention "da Kats" when telling what happened to it.
