Returning member here

Hey all!

Returning member here. Been gone for about 3 years(!), but haven't forgotten the hobby. Decided to poke my head back in, as I do miss this place, and was curious how things have evolved. Not sure if any of the vets remember me (see pics of some of my vintage solid-copper builds below), but it is good to see a few old names and avatars still around.

So what have I missed here in 3 years, technically and community-wise? (And what the heck happened to the rep system?) :)

I also did a pretty detailed study of different lenses, with automated measurements:
