[Leica] Old Photos

[Paul Roark]

Topaz AI Gigapixel is just below Photoshop in importance in my working up
photos.

I did, however, run into some limits with smaller sensors that might be
related to the wavelength of light.  So, after a year, I gave up on an
outfit with a smaller-than "35mm film size" sensor.

So, my current camera is a Sony RX1r, with its Zeiss 35mm lens.  I now
carry (and hike with) one lb. (about) on my belt v. 25 lbs. with the Rollei
SL 66 and extra lenses hanging on me.  Progress!

I might add that even though my products are black and white prints (sold
mostly through Gallery Los Olivos, CA), I prefer the good "35mm" size, full
color sensor to a B&W sensor or B&W film.  I tried some smaller sensor
cameras for a year, but I just could not get the same quality out of them
that I get with the Sony RX1r.  And I definitely prefer filtering in PS v.
doing it with old-style (even if near perfect optically) color filters.
