MANHATTAN – Excitement arrived in a brown box today: a new camera, a Sony A7Riv. This is the next generation of the camera that has been my primary tool for the past three years. For the next week you’ll a lot of interiors and near-to-home spots as I run it through its paces in varying situations with various lenses. Its 61 meg sensor is going to force a re-evaluation of all of lenses. The big sensor also means that it’s very usable cropped square, a long-time dream of mine.
Today’s lens is a 50mm Leica R Summicron, now about 40 years old. We expect Leica R lenses to be better adapted to this camera than Leica M lenses, for technical reasons having to do with the thickness of the sensor cover glass on this camera. The camera dramatically over samples the lens (the camera’s resolution is much higher than the lens’s). The expected result is images that look “analogue” rather than digital. It doesn’t disappoint in this regard. Here you go.
Day 3631 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 2535 of one photo every day): San Francisco
