Irix 11/4

My new Irix 11/4 arrived today. I haven’t had a chance to do any serious photography with it, but my one word review would be “fun”. A bit more detailed would be: The build quality is impressive. I did get the higher end (metal rather than plastic) version. The focus ring is nice and smooth.

It's dry, so dry the power plants don't have enough cooling water due to low water in the rivers. Next winter another horror scenario is planned due to gas shortage. I'm lucky to have PV panels and inverter AC's installed last year. Only problem: if the 230V fails the PV panels shut down. Maybe I
