matejphoto, that's a nice offer. Insurance covers all this, so cost isn't really an issue, besides which I don't have an address. I think the 80D (with grip) with some plastic lenses might be a good fit. I had a SL1, it was too small. I prefer primes and manual focus, except for birds. I had a 100-400, always used it at 400, I almost always used the 16-35 around 24mm. I'm going to miss my Arsat T/S, it worked great on the Canon. Had a complete Mamiya AFD kit, and an extensive RZ kit. Two older digital backs. A Horseman shift camera body and 3 lenses. A 4x5, 3 LF lenses. Two antique 8x10's. Two Ries tripods, CF tripod, monopod, tripod heads, an extensive Canon kit, lighting, more I can't even remember. All negs gone, all back-up gone. We saved two business computers, not the photo computers, two cats, my Mother-in-law (disabled and far into dementia), the 4runner. Say goodbye to the convertible Mercedes and the Buick. The tractor might have made it, not sure. When the helicopter is over the house, dropping water nearby on the slope above us, and the flames are coming up the canyon below us, it's time to run, lest we get pinched between. The 4runner is a little singed. A friend died, her car caught fire, exploded. Many died, but we fear the total will be in the hundreds. In hindsight, off-site back-up is a good idea for digital negatives.
