I would probably keep the 38-300mm lens which would drop the price to $4,170.00. Would consider $4,000.00 even then. Thanks for the inquiry!, Carl

Personally, I wouldn't send equipment unti check cleared. Good way to lose thousands. Get well soon!

Carl, I was reading your 5D Mark IV + stuff ad. I have conflicting reactions. For one, while I wish I could back up a few months into my equipment acquisition journey, skip some expenditures I've recently made, and jump all over your whole package, at this stage of my journey a big sidestep like that would likely give my wife a coronary. I just bought a used 5D Mark III and a couple of old (but good) L lenses. But if I grasp what you're offering accurately, your package would be heavenly! Is the 38-300 Canon you mentioned perhaps the Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Lens? If so, WOW! Understand why you'd have a really hard time letting go of that...don't know what other cameras you have, but any Canon EF would love it.
More important than my lust for the equipment you've offered for sale, though, is my empathy for what brings you to this decision. I can only imagine the sadness the impact of this condition brings you as you face surrendering the fine tools of and the very lifeblood of a hobby - or, more likely, passion - you obviously share with everyone on this oddball (Ugly Hedgehog...really?) forum. I really admire some suggestions you've gotten here on ways to continue your passion in a modified vein or with some mechanized mobility. I'd love to see this ad disappear due to your discovery of a way to carry on carrying on. That would also remove all temptation for me to cause my own dear wife's sudden demise.

Carl: Best of luck to you. I'm still recovering from 4 surgeries as a result of esophageal cancer. Stay positive - it's half the battle.
