My Nikon Z 24-200mm lens arrived yesterday. FedEx was a day late delivering, but it was still a fast delivery - five days. Although it's listed as "Used," it looks new. Everything in the Nikon box looks like it was never touched. The items are wrapped and taped just like they left the factory.

It works fine on the Z fc and the Z6 II. I saved about $150, and the lens has zero clicks on it, so it had never been used.

MPB received my three old cameras and lenses yesterday, and they'll get back to me when they evaluate them. Money in - money out.

EDIT: MPB offered me $100 for my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 ED lens. KEH offered $222.00. KEH has a better system for entering items. I could click on items in a long list - case, cap, two caps, etc. They also provide room for comments. For example, I can tell them that this was New Old Stock, and I was the first owner. The shipping is free via FedEx, and there is a FedEx drop-off store less than a mile from my house.

I find myself automatically smiling when I read an article or watch a video about UFOs. The fact that the stories are all so similar means one of two things: UFOs are real; "witnesses" are simply repeating details they've been hearing for years.

One thing I wonder about is why UFOs have so many lights. Is it an artsy thing for these guys? Is there an interstellar law we don't know about? If they have technology that lets them fly across the galaxy, do they really need so many lights to see and be seen?

I don't think the UAPs that were tracked by the military had lots of lights. Maybe that's how you tell the real from the fictitious.

A couple of months ago I posted that I had seen an ad for a new Hyundai vehicle that someone identified as the Santa Cruz. I said I thought it was an ugly design and brought back memories of the Aztek which was in a lot of people's opinion the ugliest vehicle ever made. I saw one a couple of days ago in the parking lot where I work and it was far better than I had imagined. It was quite a nice-looking vehicle although highly impractical in my opinion. The bed of the vehicle (I don't know whether to call it a car, SUV, or pickup) is so small it doesn't look like you could haul much in it. The lines and looks though are nice. The unfortunate thing about the Aztek was that performance-wise it got good reviews so maybe the Santa Cruz will do well all the way around.

It isn't a bit of fluff that just needs to be cleaned out but more like crap between the key contacts that needs cleaning. Sticking it in the dishwasher is about the worst idea I have heard for a long time (or did I miss seeing the 1st April date).
I always use Logitech keyboards (ours have been going for several years now). And why ? Because you can pull them apart, clean them and reassemble with an expectation of them still working (our ones anyway). Have fixed them after several spills of rum and coke by dunking them in cold water to wash out as much of the sugar as possible, then unscrew the bases and carefully rinse them again and dry them. I don't know if Logitech make a Mac compatible keyboard but if I ever went the Mac way that is the first thing I would look at. I know the Mac keyboard is cute and dinky but very expensive to replace.
