Mick, my wife Kay and I hope all goes well for you. She went through this whole process earlier this year. It can be a bit of a trek, but the results are well worth the effort.

EDIT: Whoops! Looks like I'm a little late to the party as well.

Eyesight is the one thing that I dread loosing - I think I could cope with pretty much anything else - but eyesight is pretty essential for so much that you do and take for granted!

Glad all went well on the first one, and hope the second one goes ok too!

Quote from: StephenBatey on September 08, 2024, 09:26:55 AMBest wishes for the operation. How are you finding the results of the first one?

Thanks Stephen.

My left eye was bad before the operation, I couldn't see anything but light and colour.  It was a great success and so relieved to get clear vision back.  Now my right eye is as bad as the left one was. So with that in mind I'm really glad the first one went ok.

For anyone dreading having it done I would rather have that operation than visit the dentist, it was completely painless and over in about twelve minutes. The worst part is hanging around in the clinic prior to the op while the eyedrops kicked in.

Hi guys, nice to see a little discussion on here, it's been a while.  :tup:

I've still not made a decision, and been putting it off until I get my second cataract operation out of the way. Had left eye done but my right eye is really blurry. If all goes well I'll start researching cameras again.

With what I photograph, I couldn't afford film! I took over 7000 shots when I went to Morocco last year - and over 8000 when we went to Canada this year. Now, I could have taken less - but when you have a dozen Bald Eagles flying around, or are on a boat photographing Killer whales, one picture wouldn't have been enough - a lot of the scenery shots could have been more considered - but they tell the story (to me anyway)

But I would never say what someone else does is wrong - it is a personal choice and that has to be respected.

Well, the Sony a7r series are both smaller and considerably lighter than the Olympus E3 (also a camera cast off by Sue) despite have a sensor twice the size.

As for film - I prefer B&W to colour, like to have camera movements which means LF, and can't produce a print from digital to my tastes - it's a matter of the "look". Even though I scan and print digitally. I use digital for convenience and colour, but never take it seriously. And as a personal weakness, I find I compose better when using either a waist level finder or a ground glass on a view camera.
