Age related macular degeneration, AMD, can make photography difficult, if not impossible. I’ve been tested for and eventually getting injection's in each eye for over four years. I’ve reached the stage now where I need a magnify glass to help me read and also will have to stop driving before the end of summer so I will be selling my cameras and lenses. Watch for my addi in the next month or so. I will first try Craig’s list for local photographers .

That stinks.
My FIL had the problem.
He could only see out the side of his eyes.
He had to sit sideways to watch TV.

So sorry Bud. My wife has been getting injections for 13 years, in both eyes, every 5 weeks. Coincidently, I just dropped her off for a treatment and will pick her up in an hour. Life goes on, but at times it is difficult.

Please be careful with Craig's list. Years ago, perhaps because of my naivety, I was scammed TWICE selling camera equipment.

Thanks for the advice. I always insist on cash and make the transfer at the local police station, plus I have a marker pen to check for counterfeit bills

Sorry for your AMD. Just prayed for you.

I am not yet 80 and there is little, to no, chance I will live as long as you... You are indeed blessed!

Glad to see that you are prepared for the local transfer... Hope you can get a decent price for it all.

Glad to see that you are recognizing the need to stop driving. Hope you have friends and family to get you around.
