Easy solution. No need for both the 16-35mm and the 17-40mm. Sell of of the dust collectors and boom...GR II ready to be in your pocket daily. Mine has taken a few thousand shots in the 1.5 months I've had it. Makes the cell phone camera a non issue. Then just use the wifi to put the pics on your phone.

Those are great photos

This was the main southeastern Sears Roebuck hub here in Atlanta. So you were right!

My office is on the 4th and 5th floors. I think we've won some interior design award or something as well. It is a great space, I just don't care for the mall vibe on the lower levels.

Forgot to add, the bike room is one of our company one's even though the building does offer their own to guests coming in off the belt line.

I have spent many an hour in that old building in my younger days shopping with my Grandmother...about twice a month on a Saturday we would take the bus from Austell to Sears, Rich's or Davidson's in downtown Atlanta...
A trip to the Ponce De Leon Sears always involved a lunch at Mary Mac's Tea Room...and hot cashews at Sears...

That building had an ambiance all it's own...

Thank you for posting memories

MG, thanks for your earlier suggestion in this thread. I'm finally going to start to take the plunge by listing my 16-35mm on fleabay. I really don't even remember getting to use it before the health tanked so it's mint. I'm going to start slow and purge everything. I've come to the reality that I'll not be using anymore from my dslr stuff and it's a shame to let it gather dust when it's such great gear, and somebody else can get some good use from them. I'm more than happy to settle for "snapshots" for my remainder years. They're good enough in my situation. And looking at some of the great photo results here in this thread, I think smartphone photography will even become more popular in time if not for just convenience and portability alone. Additionally any future improvements in smartphone camera tech and quality will put them over-the-top for me in my situation, that is "if" I can keep up.

I did try to email you but your email in profile was returned not found. I was going to ask for a bit of advice but I'm good now that I finally decided it's time to let go. Thanks for the necessary push!
