Well, saving up has advantages.
The window shopping was really a means of confirming what I already
knew but wasn't willing to accept. And when a decent deal makes itself
available again, it was time to act.

So, a brand-new Sony A7 II (kit with 28-70) is in the house. For the
next couple of days they are on sale and I picked up one of the very
last ones in Alaska.
Whiplash, and just a little dizzy, but that was a great ride. Just like a roller coaster, we ended up where we started -
and I didn't throw up!
Funny thing is that a KEH excellent A7 II should be here Wed. Prices have
dropped and I think the IBIS is likely worth it.

Now, all I have to do is get my OM lens adaptors.
Ah yes! Did you recall my post about adapter lengths and infinity focus?
This is what I wrote:

The third party folks don't always get it right, although you'd think they would get the basic stuff right. I bought a
Beschoi Pro OM=>Sony E adapter.
I'd been using a combo of OM=>EOS and EOS=>E, which is fine at infinity. I think I wanted the OM=>EOS for something
else, so I bought the direct OM=>Sony E.
As I was intending to do some astrophotography, I wanted to be able to simply focus to the stop for infinity. So I
checked. All the OM lenses I tried focused to infinity before the marking and stop! Compared it to the OM=>EOS and
EOS=>E combination I'd used before, it's 0.3mm shorter!
Bought a Fotasy adapter, same length as the combo, infinity just as it should
be, and returned the Beschoi Pro.
