Blog title covers it but in short, this is what I describe as a “sledgehammer to drive in a thumbtack” scenario. For these shots, I could have used the simplest of camera solutions. Any number of point-and-shoot or lower-tier cameras would have done the job. Using a top-end solution for such is ludicrous…

I like ludicrous.

Paired the Sony A7RV with the FE 50mm f/1.2 GM while going about my day and meeting a friend for lunch and this is the result.
