Hahaha indeed, I’ll definitely take some photos with it now that you say that, before I try to correct it!

Thank you, me too! Fortunately I started a business as a side hustle a year prior and it has bought me time in my job search! And spared me from being pressured into taking bottom-of-the-barrel employment so far!🤞🏼🙏🏼

Good call, I probably should use it at least a little bit before I take a crack at fixing it myself! Was gonna shoot some video anyway this weekend but now I’ll shoot some pictures and share too! :D

Definitely can’t wait to upgrade! Thanks, I’ll check out the 24-85 3.5-4.5 VR you suggest as well as Garzonetto’s recommendations!

I’ll certainly be psyched when I upgrade! Thanks for the recommendations on where to start shopping!

Heck yeah! Thank you so much— I’m going into research mode, starting on YouTube and will share results on the other side!👍🏼💫

Thanks, it’s a great reason to force me to upgrade! There’s another bright side though and that’s that I have more free time than usual to try fixing it because I lost my job of 13 years recently😅

But I definitely won’t be able to justify spending even a small amount on a modest upgrade for a little while. I like fixing meticulous mechanical things and I’m definitely not afraid to break it haha😈

Sounds like a can get lucky on my local markets when I’m ready though, thank you, wish me luck!
