A deliberate double exposure of rusty metal then a bit of PP fun.

Originally I was shooting a turtle. It is in there, but I thought the reflection was interesting. I tried to get closer, but the turtle disappeared.

I had a Sigma Mini Wide for OM mount back in the day and it is a great lens. I bought a Super Wide II (24mm) hoping I would like it the same, but never have been a fan of that lens.

It's obvious what this is, but the decoration is non-representational so it should qualify as an abstract. In any case, with the brilliant colors it is pretty.

Very beautiful capture. That Sony does a great job. Is the lens a Sony also?

Thanks so much for sharing.

The lens is made by Zeiss, with FOV equivalent to 24~200mm on FF. The lens and the one-inch sensor on the little Sony do very well for a camera that's pocket-size. Two minor complaints about the camera: 1) it doesn't focus quite as close as I'd like; 2) the flash is directly above the lens, and when taking a flash picture as close as the camera will focus, the lens will cast a shadow. I also have a smaller Panasonic LF 1 with a much smaller sensor, The flash is at the far edge along the top, and in macro mode, it will focus to about one inch and illuminate with the flash with no lens shadow. However, the tiny sensor of the LF 1 limits IQ significantly more than the larger sensor of the Sony. Always there are compromises.

I'd say that they pretty much only have a Zeiss label on them, Wpresto.

The Sony Zeiss lenses are made by Cosina.
