Some photos work in color, some in black & white.
B&W for this one for sure.

I have been using a 6000 for about 4 years and just, last month, found a used 6400. I was looking for a 6500 but found a super good deal on the 6400.
I've found the the menus on the 6400 are a little harder to find some things in but there are more things to find. The IQ is about the same on both but the AF is noticeably faster and the tracking is better on the 6400 (haven't used the eye tracking yet).
The 6400 is some heaver and feels better in your hands, feels like more quality. Moving the focus point is much easier (sometimes too easy) to move. You don't realize how often you touch the screen until you have a touchscreen (I turned mine off).
I have never used a camera with IBIS so I don't know how great it is but you won't go wrong with an a6400.

I lived in Texas for about 50 years until I moved to CO 5 years ago. Up till a couple years ago (I think), state employees could take either Juneteenth or Confederate Hero's Day as a paid holiday. Probably don’t have a choice now.

Everything, camera, which is like new with little use, probably less than 1000 shots, the 5 lenses, 3 adapters and the backpack $1200 plus shipping of course


What would you take for the 90mm macro

If you haven't already decided and enjoy driving, I would consider starting at Mt. Rushmore and a drive around the Black Hills, then Teton NP, followed by Yellowstone. Then I would head north to Glacier NP followed by Banff and then a drive up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper. Then south to Kelowna BC/the Okanagan and possibly a night or two in Coeur d'Alene on the way back. If I was going to skip part of it, I would make that Mt. Rushmore, Teton and Yellowstone and do those on a later trip. If you want food, one word: Charleston.

If you haven't been to the Canadian Rockies, it was the most beautiful place we had ever been to until we cruised Norway two years ago. We're going back and this time planning to spend about 3 days in Jasper and exploring Maligne Lake. The Okanagan is a real gem that most people are unaware of.

We are also celebrating our 50th next year and are going to Kauai with (hopefully) everyone - which will be 23 of us. We were going to do that, plus 2-3 weeks in Italy by ourselves, but are going to postpone that trip a couple of more years or so. We are supposed to be in Florence today as part of a 2 week cruise from Venice to Barcelona, but of course it got cancelled; we re-booked it for 2022 and added a river cruise to it. I think we'll wait a couple of years after that to go back to Italy.

We live 5 hours from Mt Rushmore, Devil's Tower etc. and have been several times. Great trip.
Right now I'm voting for Grand Tetons. Been to YSNP a couple times but it's really crowded (at least right now).
We may look a little farther north.
Thanks

Love old cars but then I'm old too!
I would like to see a Forum Section devoted to Classic Transportation--"Planes, Trains and Automobiles."

OK folks, a couple of you mentioned you were interested the results of my very amateur tests.
I purchased the Sigma 100-400C FF lens and the MC-11 adapter, new from Sigma in NY, 14 months ago, and downloaded the latest firmware, as of last week.
I purchased the Sony 70-350 APS-C lens from a fellow UHH’er last week (in new condition).
All photos were shot in sunny conditions in Northern Colorado in my back yard.
I judged them side-by-side on my 2 monitors according to my old eyes.
My grading scale was “0-10” 10 being the best of the two. I’m not posting any of the photos because I’m not going to argue about the findings---I don’t care what anyone thinks, it comes down to which lens I’m going to keep.
Photos were shot with a Sony a6000, using the small spot AF (and a couple manual focuses).
“SS” was set at 1/1500, “A” was auto and ISO was Auto/1600 max.
Targets were a downloaded “Sharpness/Contrast” scale, the nails in my cedar fence, a couple birds on the feeder and some small flowers.
Range was mostly about 50-75 feet to infinity and down to the closest they would focus.
1—Sharpness Sony 10 --- Sigma 10
2—Color Sony 10 --- Sigma 9
3—Contrast Sony 10 --- Sigma 8
4—Closeup Sony 8 --- Sigma 10
5—Weight Sony 10 --- Sigma 5
6—Basic Usability Sony 10 --- Sigma 6
7—Controls Sony 7 --- Sigma 10
8—Auto Focus Speed Sony 10 --- Sigma 8

I’m happy with the Sigma—It’s sharp. It may take a little more work/time to get there than the Sony.
I’m keeping the Sony 90% because of the weight---I old and it’s easier for me to handle, even though those extra 50mm make a difference (I didn’t think 350-400 would be that different).
Hope you find this of some use.
