    Here's a type of image that I rarely post, since the quality isn't the best. But I took it on the street at night through a plate glass window, and in spite of using ISO 200, there's more noise than I expected, due to the lack of good lighting. I thought it had a kind of “Home Sweet Home” look, and that made it a keeper.

    After using and shooting my M6 ttl and M8 (50mm 2.0/ 35mm 1.4/90mm/2.0) for many years and even still using film I bought an SL 2 weeks ago.
    Everybody is getting older and even with a 1.25 magnifier taking pictures was more difficult. Doing street photo's with the M (ISO 640 A 11.0 and distance 1.5m) gave me great results.

    The USS Yorktown is anchored there, with more WW2 ships and a submarine behind it. They're great for a tour.

    The alligator in the pond loves pets, all sizes included, so a tough German Shepherd or Pitbull is just another lunch.

    I like the pond with the invisible alligator! He would have a duck dinner, I guess…
    In the shot just above, is that an aircraft carrier moored up there close to shore? I'm surprised the water is deep enough!

    This is a place I visit on the Charleston County shoreline. The pond usually has a resident alligator, courtesy of Bulls Island nearby. There's a light fog in the background.

    This is JPEG only, shot through a plate-glass window, with some unavoidable reflections even though the lens barrel was squarely in contact with the window glass. So, a little cloning to remove the reflections….

    This image required significant perspective correction, and then cropping, so may look a bit ragged. Shot as JPEG only.

    Not really interested in shooting 4K with this camera, I wish they would strip this out and put the savings into a lower priced option. To me, video has to be done right, which requires a lot of support equipment which I do not carry around on a daily basis.
