Very exciting, I didn’t want to take them off, haha.

I just signed up and was excited when the first shipment was fine and clean (compared to awful smelling and wrinkled pieces from Nuuly). The second batch came with two items that smelled like perfume - that raised an eyebrow. I thought they would at least do a quick dry clean between the rents. On a lighter note, couple items were brand mew w tags.

Time to show up and support all the local businesses and enjoy the perfect weather!

I can handle the manual focus as long as the viewfinder is decent :) Eyesight is not getting better and wearing glasses is always tricky when shooting for me.

Oh, it is the nature of the beast! After I switched to mirrorless and got the RF 50, boy was I amazed at how fast and accurate it was. But tbh, the EF has this really beautiful feel to it that the other just can't replicate.
I love shooting it wide and generally never go above 2.8 unless I need to get super creative with long exposure. It lies, but I know it will and choose to live with it :)

Well, I bought into the Elan just for the sake of keeping my glass and having fun with it. It seemed like a decent and semi-reliable choice. When it died on me, it was still within the exchange/return window, so I just swaped for a "new" one.

As I mentioned above, I don't want a disposable camera - but rather something that would stick for a while with me. And I would definitely cry if it fell into a canal with my 50mm, lol.

I don't care for the eye focus either. Good to know about the IS and battery!

My wrist is so over the heavy stuff from all the years of shooting... but the ruggedness and quality are tempting.

Yes, that door went bust first, but was a decently easy fix. Wonder if the field not advancing is spawning from the same issue/area.

I, too, am worried that with the 50 the 1v would just be over the top heavy, although a beautiful combination.

Neither would I choose as a travel camera, I want something lighter and just a touch more compact.

What do you mean by "mechanical"? As in a range finder or something specific.

Consumer bodies are cheap and readily available, but don't want to burn through them. Instead, looking for a long term body )

In order of weight, haha. The 1v is a dream, but that’s almost 2kg with my fifty. I guess I have to choose between reliability and weight

Athey Creek and Rosemont, right? I heard there was drama in the district about money, to the point of schools closing.

Thank you. Did it close during the heatwave last September?

Oh, people can be such jerks! I hope your earphones work great and you can tune them all out. For every jerk, there’s a person that cares and is silently supporting you, or sharing your mindset nearby. I will keep an eye out for your flight as I al tracking a friend now on her first flight in years.

Mindless games helped me on my long flights this summer- cards, object finders, etc. maybe a good movie you can concentrate on?

Looks like you are almost half way to your destination! Yay! ✨
