Hello folks. I’ve been taking photographs somewhat seriously since 1968. First camera was a Canon Pellix. For several years I used an old Leica IIIf to teach myself some basic understanding of light without meters and the other various “rules” of the trade. I later acquired a Canon F-1 in the mid 70s and several lenses. It too served me well. Set for a trip to Europe in 1999, I traded the whole kit for a Leica M6 with 35mm and 90mm lenses and a bunch of cash. Intrigued by digital, I later bought a Canon 30D. In 2008? I sold the Leica and jumped into digital with a Canon 5 D MkII which has served me well over the years. I still have it. An outstanding camera. Now, feeling weight of the Canon and missing my Leica street camera, I just purchased a Sony A7C with the 28-60 kit lens. The tech has advanced so much I’m asea with the thing. The lcd is awash with so much data that seems unnecessary. The EVF is less complicated but I find it difficult to see what’s in/out of focus. I’ve had a few very sharp decent photos of nonsense to test it out. FB folks like the pics, but… so there you have it.
Welcome to the forum.
Any pics of Tybee Light?

Tybee Island! Nice place. Spent a few days there a while back. Mid winter. So much snow/ice that one of the bridges was closed. I still have a Leica III but I'm hanging on to it!
Welcome. Post and have fun.
Welcome to UHH! You have an interesting (photographic) past. I look forward to seeing your work.
Cheers,
Don
Welcome to the Hog, Jim, enjoy.
Tybee Island is where they lost an atomic bomb, isn't it?
