The Grand River at Paris, Ontario

I'm beginning to like this Minolta 35-70 F4.

First photos taken with a Minolta Maxum 35-70 F4

I got this autofocusing Minolta Maxxum 7000 to get a higher percentage of in-focus keepers when shooting film. Being impatient with the slower pace of film photography, I shot this short series with the lens mounted on a Sony A7C with a Sony LA EA4 adaptor. All photos exposed at F4.

The Sony RX10 is the type of camera only Sony would produce in typical fashion: cram whatever current technology exists into a camera, price it affordably, and to hell with saving some of that technology for higher-priced variants. And when Sony does add new technology to the succeeding model, Sony doesn't discontinue the previous model. Thus, the customer isn't forced to purchase the newer model, if the previous model is still sufficient. So it came to be thatThe Sony RX10Mk1, Sony RX10Mk2, Sony RX10Mk3, and Sony RX10Mk4, could be found sharing space on camera-store shelves.

My Sony RX10Mk1 still takes beautiful images after all these years. There is no need for me to take photos with the Sony RX10Mk2; it is as new as the day it was purchased.

Mushrooms were found growing on composted wood chips used in the garden.
