Thanks, gents.

Thanks for all the suggestions and buying tips. Wouldn't expect anything less from this crowd.

Sounds like a very workable system. Thanks. I'm leaning toward Op/Tech.

Thanks again, folks, great help from a great resource.

Thanks.

Thank you all. The responses have been very helpful and I've learned a lot.

I want a sling strap for a Sony RX 10 IV for a trip soon. Would really appreciate suggestions on type/brand and things to beware of. Many thanks.

Fair enough. Be well.

For the Contax G2 camera and 3 lenses and shipping I think $2000 is fair.

I think $275 is a fair price.

For the RX/N1 I have: 100mm F 2.8 Makro/ Planner T
70-300 F 4.0-5.6 Vario Sonnar T
100-300 F 4.5-5.6 VS T
35-70 F 3.4 VS T. 24-85 F3.5-4.5 VS T but with small circle of fungus inside, probably now worthless.
25 F 2.8 Also
For the G2, 28 F 2.8, 45 F 2, 90 F 2.8, all titanium.

I have several Contax 35mm film cameras and assorted lenses available but let's start with an RX. This camera was purchased new in the mid nineties and I think it is in excellent condition. The other cameras are an N1 and a G2. I'm asking $200 for the RX.

Thanks, all told a very pleasant exchange from all and I learned a lot. The biggest thing I can pass along re longevity is don't stop dreaming, that's a sure way to start dying.

Wow!! The well planned shot always wins. I grew up in South Jersey, Salem, but had relatives in Cape May, and my sister still lives there. Haven't been to Wildwood for decades. My shoot is over but it eventually turned out OK after I figured out that the "4" on my screen wasn't 4 seconds but probably 4 tenths. Finally changed that but realize now that 4 secs wasn't long enough for a good bloom. Next year if I'm invited back and living (born in '35) I'll try try 6-10 seconds and, yes, smaller aperture. I had f11 and although I wasn't trying to collect as much in focus smaller might work better. The other thing I need to deal better with is my neighbor bought what turned out to be an hours worth of fireworks. Plenty of time to adjust and review which I didn't do well. Thanks again.

Thanks much. The fireworks are going to actually be set off a dock into a river. I actually had wit enough to think of that so will try to adjust composure.
