As some on here may be aware, Jim Kilroy of Barn Owl Cameras is ill and things at his business have got a bit untethered. Some have had cameras and lenses with him for months and communication has steadily gotten more spotty and infrequent. I have a camera with Jim. Today I did manage to get ahold of someone who is close to him and have some info to share.
In the coming week or so, a plan will be made to communicate with those who have gear with Barn Owl. If requested, those who have gear with Barn Owl will likely be able to get their gear back within a reasonable time that gives consideration to Jim’s current priorities. Jim won’t be the only one working on this. Things are on pause right now with the business so I think it best to wait to send in anything to be looked at.
It was good to talk with this person on the phone, a lot of info was shared with care and empathy. I hope Jim and family can get health reined in.
