I've recently started using Kleinanzeigen, and I was pleased to discover that there are plenty of enticing stuff at prices that are often lower than those on eBay. Long story short, I've down-upgraded my photography setup: I splurged on a backup Nikon D810 and a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens.

I undid it. Leaving Linux to go back to Mac OS after several months was something that I did not foresee. However, this thing is more nuanced, and it's not the end of the line.
