Eliza was my second wife, getting together when I was around 44. At 65, I'm not
sure I can be broken in again. Hard to imagine at this time.

Probably this option is worth considering. I do have the Sony alpha 6000 for
small size. How is the eye relief on the E-M5's. With the Sony I have to push
aside my glasses and really push it into my eye. The diopter adjustment on the
alpha is a bit crude.

Looking forward to reviewing past list technical stuff. I have lost track of
Adobe and all the twiddling possible.

This sounds like an approach you have talked about in the past, and working
distance is of prime concern. Most critters don't like lenses pointing up their
noises. My recent shot of a rattle snake, in strike pose, ... what can I say,
yes to working distance.
