I have the same type of glasses and had the same problems. So I got a clear set of glasses, I keep the case/glasses in my camera bag so when I got out shooting I have the clear pair with me. Using a Hoodman or something like that to view the LCD screen is not really a solution if you are still wearing your transition glasses.

I made a trip to NY a few years ago and used the NY Pass - to book stuff.

Worth looking into.

I also booked a photography walking tour with James Maher
https://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/ - he also has some good books on street photography and photographing NY.

Have fun.

I shoot with an Omympus M1-MKIII mirrorless camera and have the Velvet 28, 58 and 85 along with the Edge 35 and Sweet 35 Lensbaby lenses. They really work well for macro photography. You best bet is to check out the Lensbaby web site -
Here is a youtube video on the Lensbaby Velvet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kosa8ZmCW8

Lensbaby makes lenses for different camera mounts- FF, Cropped, mirrorless. Go for it.
Check the specs on the Velvet for they camera you have. The Velvet 58 is a good starting point. I believe the 85 works well with FF cameras.

Have fun.

This guy needs a therapist big time. Some real anger issues going on there. How does he think the companies are going to stay in business - it cost money to upgrade a complex piece of software. These hi-tech people don't work for free. I pay $10.00 a month for PS and LR and I get the latest and greatest version all the time. I'm happy, they are happy and the world keeps rolling along.

The Olympus 1.4 or 2.0 TC fit the Olympus M Zuiko 40-150mm f/2/8 lens.

Build a bridge and get over it.

If you stay with the old version and old computer, eventually you are going to be way behind the power curve as PS is updated. You update your car every once in a while, why not our computer. I bet your still not driving a car with a carburetor and rotter and points.

I have done just what you are explaining. Using an ND filter with a long exposure. Shoot with a low ISO and be sure to use a tripod or somehow anchoring your camera.
I did it in NY at Grand Central Station - must have been 100 or more people moving around going from one platform to the other. The only ones that showed up were the ones standing still.

I have an Olympus OMD M1-MK III. It has in camera sensor cleaning which is nice. It is in camera stabilization. I do believe the manual says have the sensor cleaned by a professional. So that is what I do. For me- taking the risk of damaging the sensor is not worth it. Paid way to much for the camera. But that's me.

Yes - I have been doing business with Hunts for a long time.

He will do you right.

Yea - I have the Olympus MK III - some my MK II last year and got the MK III - Great features. But don't forget top buy the Pro Lenses by Olympus. Costly, but well worth it. If you like Astro photography - the MK III does great, auto focus on the stars.
Enjoy. BTW - Olympus has not gone out of business, They just changed owners.

If you don’t like Topaz then don’t buy it or use it.
I happen to like it and the job it does is great.

Does anyone have the information on an Olympus MK III camera

Not sure what you found on the other site.
I have a number of Lensbaby lenses. The Lensbaby Composer Pro with the Sweet 35 and Edge 35. I like the Lensbaby lenses. I also have the Velvet 56 and SOL. Check out the Lensbaby University on the Lensbaby web page. Note that these lenses are manual focus - all the way. No electronics back to the camera. These are CREATIVE lenses with a lot of different optics to create the photo you want. I use my Lensbaby lenses mostly for macro photography. The Velvet 56 is my favorite. I'm shooting an Olympus micro 4/3rds mirrorless camera.

Had a HP laptop I bought for mobile - photo processing. It was one of the few 17" screens with a DVD drive that you could buy. As LR and PS got bigger the spin up drive was a little slow so I upgraded the drive to SSD and put in more RAM - works great. I have two SSD drive on my custom desk top.
Love the speed.
