FINBARRES 2025
Towards the end of 2024 I ordered and fully paid for a Sony A1 II which I hoped to use for my city visits in 2025. By March 2025 I was beginning to realise that I would not have the camera in time for my April visit to Cork so I delayed the visit to September - and guess what the camera had still not arrived. My dealer then offered me a Sony A7RV on loan so when I visited Cork I had a new Leica Q3 which proved to be unreliable and the Sony which was a joy to use but the weather was terrible. While I was in Cork the A1 II arrived at my apartment in Dublin. I mention the Sony because it attracted a lot of attention during my week in Cork and in many ways that can be a problem.
