The Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di lens...

I bought one for my Sony A65 DSLR because I wanted a fast lens. I was fine but I thought the focus was a bit soft. However, since I've moved to mirrorless, it's just taking up space in my camera closet. Perhaps I should try selling it on Ebay.

Another couple of images:

One of the most polluted rivers that I've ever seen in all my travels, the Tiete River, Sao Paulo, Brazil - July 2015 - Sony NEX-3N, 16-50mm


Not far behind was the Moskva River, in Moscow, Russia - April 1994 - Minolta XG-M, 50mm

We do the same, except I use the Amazon Prime card for Amazon purchases and the Costco card for everything else. Last year we got over $1400 back and we also pay the balance each month (haven't paid a dime in credit card interest in maybe 20 or 25 years).

So while I have no experience B&H, we recently remodeled our kitchen and we purchased some premium appliances from Best Buy and were able to get an 18-month, same as cash deal. Now as long as I make a monthly payment larger than the minimum, there will be no interest accrued, as long as the full balance is paid before the end of the 18-month period. Now until then, each month the Best Buy statement shows an interest charge, just that it's not added to your balance and if you do pay-off the full balance within 18 months, it will be cancelled. I suspect that they're required, by law, to show the customer exactly what interest they will be responsible for IF they don't pay the full balance on time. This may be what your B&H statement is showing. Check to see if the interest charge has been added to your balance owed or not. If it has not, then it's just there so that you know what you could be liable for if you don't meet the terms of the agreement.

Note that my original Sony a6000 had a lens mount which did have some plastic parts and I was concerned, so I replaced the lens mount with an all metal (Brass) kit from Fotodiox:

Note that when I got my Sony a6500 I checked and the lens mount appeared to have been upgraded so that there were no longer any plastic parts, it was now all metal. I assume that this is also the case with an a6700.

Note that I also mount a 'ring-light' on the macro lens, again with no problems.

I have some high-density memory sticks which our son in Texas keeps in his gun safe, that I've put critical files on as well as a back-up of my photo archive. These I update once or twice a year. It was easier when I was still working as I kept back-up copies in my office, locked in my file cabinet.

I have an annual Adobe subscription (from Adobe), that covers several of their products, which I pay monthly.

I prefer Sony, but mostly because way back in my film days, I started my serious work with a Minolta SLR, and to make a long story short(er), the heritage and technology of Minolta now resides in today's Sony's.

I have a Sony a6500, which in terms of size and construction, is virtually the same as the a6700 (well close enough) and I have both a long lens (400mm) with a tripod mount, and a heavy macro lens (f2.8, 60mm), and have had no problems.

I consider my current Sony a6500 mirrorless APS-C camera, which does 24.2Mp, as being more than adequate for serious amateur/semi-pro type of work, which I do. Just my opinion, but it's based on over 60-years of photographic experience.

My current camera, a Sony a6500 w/18-135mm lens, I bought on Ebay and have had no problems or complaints.

As for the type of camera I would buy today, if I was starting from scratch, being that my history started with an Agfa rangefinder back in high school (early 60's), to a series of Minolta SLR's starting in college, first an SR-1 I acquired in 1968 to an X-700 in 2002 (with an SRT-101 and XG-M in between), to my first digital camera in 2000, going through several point-and-shoot models from various vendors, to a couple of Sony DSLR's (an A100 and A65) to three mirrorless cameras, starting with a Sony NEX-3N in 2013, an a6000 in 2016 and finally to my current a6500 in 2020, I would stick to a mirroless APS-C format, if for no other reason than cost and ease of carrying around. As for going mirrorless, it's a no-brainer (my opinion), and as for APS-C, my a6500 is 24.2Mp, which is more than adequate for serious amateur/semi-pro type of shooting which I do.

Anyway, those are my opinions, based on my better than 60-years of photographic experience, for whatever that's worth

I have two external hard drives hooked to my MacBook M1 Pro. A 3TB WD (Western Digital) Elements portable drive, which goes with me when I travel, and a 4TB G-Drive, which is where I archive my files and which goes in my gun safe when I'm on the road.

The 3TB WD drive is directly connected to the MacBook M1 Pro via one of the USB-C (Thunderbolt 4) ports, while the 4TB G-Drive connects via a docking station (which is also connected to the MacBook M1 Pro via one of those other USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports) where all of my other peripherals are connected, such as the external keyboard/mouse, monitor, CD/DVD player/recorder, flatbed scanner, film scanner, webcam, speaker, internet, etc. I've had the current set-up for a bit over a year now and every things been working great.

Prior to that I had a MacBook Pro. The current 3TB WD Elements portable drive was put into service in January 2020, as was the 4TB G-Drive, and was originally connected to the older MacBook Pro. Prior to the current external drives, I had a 1TB WD Elements portable drive and a 2TB G-Drive. The 1TB WD drive in now one of my photo archive back-ups and is kept in a fireproof document box stored in my gun safe (it gets updated every couple of months).

All in all, I'm very satisfied with my set-up.

Yes, Coyotes have adopted very well to urban environments. There was a program on PBS a while ago about how Coyotes have adopted to several large North American cities. I think they highlighted New York, and somewhere else as well as Toronto. Note that the Coyotes that they've been seeing in Canadian cities, many of them are larger and more aggressive, having, they believe, bred with Wolves.
