...into the twenty-first century!
Just got a new DSLR camera, Nikon D7500. I can use my old glass on it, so the AF 'short' zoom DX 18-55mm it came with will be the only AF lens for a while. Not out there chasin' ambulances or a Pulitzer any more, so this should serve well enough. Still not that enthusiastic about battery dependent cameras, but with a couple on-board spares it should be okay. For the last decade or so the only DSLR's here have been Fuji "Fine Pix" fixed-lens, point-n-shoot ones. And a Fuji S-2 Pro that accepts Nikon mount glass. But that thing EATS batteries and finally started to malfunction. Too frustrating, not worth sending out for repair.
Digging thru a camera bag, found a spare 55mm UV filter for the AF zoom. No good hood, tho. And the Nikon trade-dress strap will go in a drawer, replaced with a low-key and more practical one.
Been putting this off for a long time, the rapid advances in digital imaging make it expensive to keep up. Particularly if one is not earning a living with it.
