Nice shot.  Well, the Sony shot is definitely less grainy, but at ISO 500 vs 
3200 you would surely expect that.  The SL shot appears to be much sharper. 
Then, you have that window glass to contend with, so probably no real 
comparisons can be made other than to say both are nice shots.

Well, that exercise set me to thinking

Here’s one from a rainy day this week

Sony aRii, ISO 500, 1/125, handheld
Tele-Elmar wide open (f/4) through the single-pane glass of a storm door
100% crop 1674px X 1607px
insert shows the full frame this is taken from
