Hi
I have on and off monitored this list. My life has been rather hectic the last
few years and photography has not been much of a priority. I have tried to keep
up with the list, but have not participated much.
On the sad side, my wife, age 61, died suddenly in her sleep in Massachusetts
while I was in Arizona. The endodontist did not inform her that a root canal
infection can attack the heart. The endodontist could have prevented my wife's
death with proper advice.
In the last year I lost over 20 lbs just getting my house in Hopkinton MA onto
the market, then it sold quickly and it was a race to pack up uBoxes to ship
and get out of the house. We also rented a house in MA so my wife could
continue to see her clients there.
She died March 31 and after more stress and getting out of the rental house in
MA, I am back in AZ, where we had plans to retire and enjoy life. Now it is
empty. (note: I highly recommend that you keep your spouse on all your bank
accounts. Otherwise they get frozen until probate authorizes you.)
I have not done much photography for a while, and I find my Canon 5d
cumbersome, heavy, and outdated. I'm looking for some advice on how to upgrade.
Ken's post (Test Driving) inclines me toward a Sony A7 III, but not sure on the
lenses. I do have a Sony alpha 6000 but don't have good telephoto or macro for
it.
I sorely miss the feel and control of the OM4-Ti and lenses, especially the
multi-spot metering. With auto everything, new cameras and the alpha 6000 is
not too conducive to control, or at least I have not put much effort into
figuring it all out. My main interests are in macro and low light capability,
which is what brought me to the OM's a long time ago.
I resisted EVF for some time, but in the interest of compact, they are a lot
better these days. Not sure how easy it is to judge DOF though.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
