Dennis:The exhibit is on view at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts where I was selected artist of the year.  The exhibit is part of a larger body of work entitled “Age Specific” and can be viewed on my website www.dennismarsico.com. The exhibit includes 24 large format prints (36×44 inches) and a 30 minute black and white video projected at 9×16 feet.  The video interacts with still photos within the gallery. Of interest to your forum is it was all shoot with the Sony RX-1.  Even with its quirks I find this camera to be outstanding in the way it renders people in space.  For other projects I use the Ar7 and now the A7Rii, but with all their MP and lens choices they lack the spontaneity of the RX-1.

Major firmware update on Metabones adapter: A7sII support and faster PDAF on the A7rII.
