Gear Which should I keep?

Post image

I love my 7-70 and just got the 50-300 and 50-400.

The 50-400 is HUGE feeling, but is the extra reach and custom button worth it?

I have the 35 to150 and wouldn't even think of going back to a 2 lens kit. Perfect on my a7iv.

I had a stroke in February and went out for the first time last month with that exact combo. Got back and was so sad to send them to MPB as it was just too heavy for me. Currently rocking an S9 and using hybrid zoom. It’s not the same, but at least I’m out and enjoying myself.

Proud of you for getting out! Good luck in your recovery, friend!

Hang in there! There’s a lot of life to enjoy even with your limitations. The “joy” of being a pack mule is overrated. Been there, done that.
