WARREN CONNECTICUT – Continuing to find my way with my little Sony camera. This image tests flare resistance. I have the remarkably good Zeiss Batis lenses for this camera, the 25mm and 85mm. They are good in every sense, including lovely rendering and good bokeh, and their technical performance is near perfect. Autofocus performance is crisp and positive. I’ve got the camera set up well for my needs and I’m getting past the teething pains adjusting to a new device.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I shot around home here with my Sony a7rii (which has been converted to infrared light) and my legacy Carl Zeiss 21mm lens to pretty good effect. The first image is the current state of play on the construction of a new bedroom wing on our house.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I shot fall foliage today with my Sony a7rII camera, a camera that I have had converted to infrared light. I shoot without an infrared filter, which results in a less extreme “white leaves” effect. Overall the tonality pretty accurately reflects the impression of autumn here.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Still working with my Sony A7rII which has been converted to infrared light. I shoot without an infrared filter, which moderates the “white leaves” effect, which I don’t care for. Still shooting with the 21mm Carl Zeiss Biogen from the 1950s (I had previously reported that this lens was from the 1930s, which seemed unlikely and isn’t accurate, based on further research on my part).
