We tried to go to the Monterey Aquarium in May, but our car caught on fire o.O http://richardman.photo/2022/05/the-not-quite-indestructible-leica-m9/ Despite some PTSD issues, we finally made it to the aquarium yesterday (July 2nd). Here are some photos that came out OK. About half were taken with the Hasselblad 907x, with the 45p and the adapted XPan 30mm lens, and the other half were taken with the iPhone 13 Pro. Not sure if one can tell the difference with web sized images, suffice to say that the iPhone 13 does quite well for this use.
