–Went to UPS for (a) Echelon slider (fine, but needs stronger magnets), (b) Kipon adapter (one more and I can mount the Prakticar on the SL2-S), (c) Scrat knitted coaster (cute!).
–Barbecued for dinner: turkey burgers, corn (good!) and red potatoes with rosemary butter. Not really fond of the new rosemary plant (Tuscan Blue); flavor just isn’t up to previous rosemary varieties, whatever they were.
–Revived the Sony AR7-V (mistakenly did the IV recently; V is much better) and compared it to SL2-S. After a LOT of fussing, I got the Sony pretty darn close to the Leica on a standard night shot, but the Leica still wins. Sort of like the Canon, Sony photos seem to have a hazy/washed-out look. It could be the much higher resolution, or a result of much more drastic noise reduction, I don’t know. That SL2-S is a monster: low noise, great viewfinder, simple controls.
