The Rokinon lenses are very good lenses. A friend of mine, who works for B&H photo had suggested one to me many years ago. While I loved & used the lens, I don't think I would get rid of the 70-300 Nikon lens. They are used for such different images.

There is no trouble with the lens cover blades closing. I don't know how many actuations, I don't think I can get an accurate account with this camera.
Here is are a few photos I took recently.

I love this camera, Sony RX 100 VI.

ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24–200 mm F2.8–4.5 high-resolution zoom lens
Approx. 20.1 effective megapixel 1.0-type stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor with DRAM chip
BIONZ X™ image processing engine for superior detail reproduction and noise reduction
0.03 sec AF response with 315 focal-plane phase-detection AF points
Up to 24fps continuous shooting with AF/AE for up to 233 shots

I have taken it to Kenya, Cuba, & Iceland. I also have 2 full frame Sony's.
I am upgrading it to the RX100 VII. I am the original owner. I have the box it came in.

The camera does have signs of wear, but works great.
I will include one battery and a 32 gig memory card.
I am asking $550 plus shipping in the cont USA.

I have a Think Tank one for sale.

I do photo tours to Cuba and to Iceland. Let me know if you & your wife are interested.

Another suggestion would be to either give them the file and let them do the printing & framing, or printing on metal. You might also ask for them to make a donation, covering your expenses, to YOUR favorite charity.

I am also a nurse, retired. I am a professional photographer. Lots of for profit companies, like hospitals, nursing homes, businesses, want free images. They say, it is great exposure for you. That is BS. Someone asked me to donate to a movie casting company, I was told it was great exposure. My response, *do you work for free?* We negotiated a fee.

Sunwayfoto PSL-A7RIII Overview
I haven't used this in a while, this is why I am selling. It sells for $49.95 new. I would like to get $25 plus shipping costs.

The Custom L-Bracket for Sony a7 III, a7R III and a9 from Sunwayfoto is a solid single-piece design that is CNC machined from T6061 aluminum with a Type-III anodized finish for durability. The Arca-type compatible L-bracket can mount in both a vertical or horizontal orientation. Also, on the bottom of each axis are located dual safety stops as a precaution against the L-bracket from sliding out if the quick release clamp is partially opened by accident.

The camera mounts to the bracket via a 1/4"-20 male threaded screw, and the anti-twist lip on the plate prevents and minimizes any movement between the camera and the bracket. The camera's ports are completely accessible, but the 1/4"-20 mounting screw can loosen and readjust to allow the camera to slide apart to give more room for other cables. At the same time, the battery chamber and the tilting LCD screen are not blocked from being opened or to move freely about.

Sometimes it is best to use *continuous* to take multiple photos, especially if hand holding. This way you can see which is the sharpest and delete the rest.

I was there in December. It was fun to wander around. We drove in thru Overton and went to Cris Angels restaurant for lunch. It was great food and fun to see the stuff inside. I met the owners, sitting inside the place where you pay. There was lots to see inside as it is a store and a place to get snacks. The family does live there, so before/after dark it is not open.
Here is a link to my images.

I mostly use DeNoise AI but I use the clear tab. Remove Noise and enhance sharpness are on high. I increased the original detail and depending on how much noise I adjust the color noise reduction.

I have found this works best for me, rather than using Sharpen AI

I do have discount codes. PM me if interested.

Wishing you the best. I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. While it takes great photos, it doesn't quite make up for a camera.

This is a great little camera. I have one and just love it. I also have 2 full frame Sony's.
Why are you selling this?

I hope you are taking another camera with a shorter lens. Sometimes the animals are just too close!!
