After all my heart issues in May of 2023 I’ve been working hard to regain what I lost because of all of that. \u00a0As the old saying goes “Dying really takes it out of you!” \u00a0Having coded twice on Mother’s Day of last year it really has been a slog to get back! \u00a0I’m happily back to where I can use my preferred and heavier system for my serous work again! \u00a0I enjoy the Micro 4\/3rds gear but still prefer the APSC sensors in my Fujifilm cameras! \u00a0Plus you just can’t beat the Fujifilm color science with any system other than Fujifilm!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The photo above is my new attempt to meet my field work needs and stay under my self imposed 10 lb. limit on the bag and contents! \u00a0The key is to have a good enough spread of focal lengths, in the fewest lenses. \u00a0I will carry a back-up body in a safe place just in case anything goes down, but honestly in 54 years of doing this I’ve never had a body die on me, except for the one I dropped out of a canoe into a river!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will make two adjustments depending on the kind of trip I’m on; \u00a0The constants are the Fujifilm X-T5 body, the 10-24 wide angle zoom and the 70-300 long zoom and the TC-14 teleconverter. \u00a0On some trips I will change out the 16-80 for the 18-135 and the 50mm f 2 for the 60mm f 2.5 Macro, also depending on subject matter, I may leave out the 16mm f 1.4! \u00a0Either way I’m covered from 15mm to 630mm!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m thankful to be feeling so much better and ready to get back in the field soon to continue what I’ve loved for half a century, shooting God’s Glorious creation!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/span><\/p>\n
