Sorry to hear your loss, Wayne.
I have purchased the A7 II early this year, at $1100 it was much cheaper
then other FF counterpart and works with my OM lenses. It did quite well
in most aspects compared with my 5D II except the occasional Moiré that
I have never seen with my 5D II, Pana FZ1000 and other Olympus digital.
Checked with the reviews, Moiré is still a problem for A7 III. I found
my A7 II did very bad with video if you are serious with video try
something else.

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cumbersome, heavy, and outdated.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.
