I'd been stuck inside with covid for the past 2 weeks(even though I've been vaxxed and boosted) so this morning I had to get out. As a project I dug out my oldest camera(D300) and attaches a lens that I hadn't used in years, 28-105 macro D and shot a variety of pictures. The old stuff(including me) still works pretty good.

Thanks Ken, no, I had it bad, high fever, cough, extreme fatigue. Got the monoclonal antibodies treatment and felt better but had to quarantine 10 days minimum.

The old is just as good as the new. Love the new flower in number 5. All are great.

Looks to me like you, the camera and the lens are still operating at prime, Gary! Get well.

I get where you're coming from but I was thankful for a three day stint of misery as opposed to worse/longer lasting consequences....

Thanks, like classic aircraft, they never stop functioning and given the right care they last forever.
