Was back in the city just over a week ago, roaming some of my favorite neighborhoods with what I've called the best "medium format" camera of 2017, the a7R III. Yet here I am proclaiming it the best street photography combo I've ever used. How is that even possible? AF performance, optical performance, IBIS, dynamic range, sparkling sensor for stills and vids, that's how.

But I'm not sure it's going to hold the title all that long -- Panasonic's GX9 with the little Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 is so much smaller and less expensive, and I'm not planning to do 16' tall murals any time soon...

Stay tuned.
