I freeze time; I photograph. RETIRED Software Engineer (C#, .Net), 50++ years experience; still active for personal projects. Witnessed two final space flights: Apollo/Soyuz, Space Shuttle STS-135 Atlantis w/ Final Four. I started in photography with the Canon A-1 in 1980; I added the Canon MA Motor Drive and a Sunpak 522 flash. July 2013, I bought one of my bucket list cameras, the Canon F-1N with the AE Finder FN and the AE Motor Drive FN. I told my wife that KEH had that gear for $500. She asked "Is that their flagship?" I answered "Yes, for the 80's." She said "Buy it." I received the Canon EOS 5D III in December 2013.
