Happy birthday @woof woof

Using the ovf was how I shot with the X100og and the X100S. Somewhere between the T and the F I switched to EVF and by the time I got the V I think I’d forgotten about the OVF. I think if I’d been more sensible I’d have stuck with the F. When I upgraded to the V I got a good refurb from Amazon...

Just remembered this quick comparison I made when I bought my first Sony. Not a huge size difference! An A7RII & Samyang 35 f2.8 would give you the MP, flip screen, fast enough focus and cost way closer to the F than the VI

In the crossover month that I owned the X100F and the X100V I tested the two side by side. The new V was definitely sharper, very noticeable when using at minimum focus distance and slightly better at distance.

If anyone is thinking of selling an A7R II, III or IV I’ve got a wanted ad in the sales section. I’m tempted by the A7CR but thought I’d maybe try a larger body again.

Infra Red Park Portrait by barrysprout, on Flickr

Just been to the post office with my A7C and so I took my only remaining camera for a stroll in the park. A7 full spectrum, Minolta Rokkor 45mm f2 with 850nm filter. This lady was taking a rest from her walk and photo was taken after checking with her, didn't want to startle her but more so...

My small go bag usually has the 24mm f2.8 the 40mm f2.5 and sometimes the 55mm f1.8.

Couple of shots from the full spectrum A7 the other day. 20240416-DSC00118-Edit by barrysprout, on Flickr 20240416-DSC00108-Edit by barrysprout, on Flickr

My copy just arrived this morning. 7 days from order to delivery so much faster than I expected and first impressions are that it seems more than £115 worth of lens.

Sorry I tried to resist but couldn’t
