Wow, I just got back from lunch and found all this great advice already!
Thanks everyone!
The 2 lenses in the kit are: Fujinon 210mm f5.6 and a Nikkor 135mm f5.6.
The package includes a ton of accessories too. All for less than $900.
This seems like a great deal when I look at ebay prices for a similar
setup. The seller claims "mint" condition. I have not seen the equipment
in person yet, however.
