Is it byThom MAX Yet?

No.

However, you'll begin seeing changes across all the bythom sites starting today:

  • The sansmirror.com site is now officially mothballed. You can read about the why and what of that on sansmirror. 
  • The dslrbodies.com site has had a cleanup. I don't expect much happening in the DSLR space, but I've done work to keep it ready for what happens in 2026. It’s also possible that as I have time, I’ll pull some older material back up and update it (e.g. older camera and lens reviews). 
  • The filmbodies.com site is being revised and will soon sport a new bythom look and design. Coverage on that site will be limited to Nikon film SLRs and film or accessories that they use. Every page has been rewritten. New things will appear! I don't expect filmbodies.com to be a site with very many new posts in the future, but I've been using it as a testing bed for things I'm considered on the other remaining sites.
  • Advertising has been removed from all my sites. I'm still working on finding many embeds, particularly for random Amazon affiliate links that I've used at times, but the goal is to make all my sites tracking free in any way that I can. What you do while on the sites will remain private.

Next up will be more re-work on the books, including a site dedicated to books with much more information as well as better presentation. As you may be aware, I just completed a massive set of updates to existing Z System Books. But I still have two books that need updating (Zf and Z9), and there are several additional books coming in the near future.

I'll have more to say about changes and the eventual byThom MAX as things progress. However, this has turned out to be a massive process in order to up the quality and look of virtually everything I produce, so it's taking time to get it right (or at least nearly right enough to reveal). 

For the time being, things will continue on bythom.com, dslrbodies.com, and zsystemuser.com as before.

Come gather 'round, people, wherever you shoot

And admit that your images could use a reboot

Accept that soon you'll be reading new tome

If your time to you is worth saving

You better comprehend or you'll sink like a stone

For byThom it is a-changin'
