I worry that images of cameras soaking in suds may be taken SERIOUSLY by some few beginners!!!
:-(
OMG, you are all TOO MUCH!!! :-) :-)
<<Photography is not about the sensor. It’s about the lenses. So you question should be about the lens systems not the sensor.
What about the mind?>>
Mind? Does one need to use that even with all the new technology??
But... that boat IS small compared to the mountain!
WOW, how poignant!!!!

<<Visiting the B&H facility in person is on my bucket list.>>
May your bucket be filled - B&H is an enchanting place to photographers!! :-)
EXCELLENT SUMMARY - THANKS!!
<<Suggest you post this in the Astrological Photography section:>>
ASTROLOGICAL??????
NEW FORM OF PHOTOGRAPHY???????
All I can say is..... WOW!!! I Really enjoyed these carefully composed images!!!
<<Though I’d hate to waste money knowing I’d probably want the L series down the road.>>
Why would you "waste money"? You can always SELL the 18-135 lens, on eBay or Fred Miranda.
They do indeed cover the "same thing" in terms of field of view, but at different image qualities. The 24-105 lens is of Canon "L" quality, designed and built to a higher optical specification. That being said, stopped down a bit, one might be challenged to see any real image differences, except with "pixel-peeping". The "L" lens also has a constant aperture throughout it's focal length.
<<15-micron increments of camera movement>>
WOW!! How did you achieve this fine movement - microscope fine focus??
<<I just wish they’d improve the a6500...>>
Ah, nostalgia! (BUT I agree!!)
I hope that happens, and that you are tempted! :-)
