I’ve got a problem. I really like my D7500. It’s the most comfortable camera I have ever carried. I have a do everything lens, 18-300, f5.6 Nikon DX and a few other DX lenses. I also have two serious lenses which in the last ten years I mostly use for concerts and theater work. A Nikon 28-70 f2.8 and a Nikon 80-200 f2.8. (full frame lenses) They are sharp and fast and a joy to use, but they are getting old. Nikon has told me not to send them in for repair anymore as they have done all they can for them over the years. Over thirty years of heavy use and they are tired. I was almost ready to take the plunge, spend the bucks and replace them. Then covid hit and shows stopped. I wondered if I would ever really need those lenses again and let things go. Now though, we are adjusting to the new normal and in the last six weeks I have shot six live events. My workhorse lenes are struggling. My 28-70 really needs help.
In the last few years photography has shifted and thrown me into turmoil, and it’s all about mirrorless. Do I really want to spend $3000+ replacing lenses for my DX mirrored camera? I would like to hold a mirrorless camera, fiddle with the controls, look through the viewfinder, take it with me on a walk, but I don’t know anyone who has one. The nearest camera store is Glazers in Seattle. From my front door to Glazers by road is 2,127 miles and involves a ferry and a passport. By plane it’s about 2.5 hours. I could just make the jump and switch, but what if I don’t like mirrorless? Then I’ve spent over $5000 for something I don’t like, am stuck with it, and feel really stupid.
I’m not really looking for the answer here. I’m mostly just sharing thoughts and wondering out loud. I’ll let you know what happens.
