This year, as usual, I am having two Easters, one on the Gregorian calendar and one here, in Greece, on the ancient Julian version. Sometimes Easters coincide but this year there is a five-week gap between execution and final resurrection. Good thing is that summer is here and the Greek celebrations this coming weekend will be warm and cheerful instead of cold and miserable. Midnight on Saturday will be a good time to try out the low-light capabilities of Sony’s stunning 35mm RX1 full-frame point-and-shoot. Will it be a match for Leica’s new M Typ240?
