When I see 'phone shots like that, I wonder why we bother with cameras.
Time for Ricoh/Pentax to get into the 'phone business with their own
embedded optics?

On Fridy my wife and I drove up to Berkeley to catch a
St. Patrick's Day gig at the Freight & Salvage (a music
venue). Getting there was a nightmare - instead of the
hour and a quarter that Google Maps was estimating when
we left home it took us twice that - there were no less
than three separate accidents that were slowing traffic.
Fortunately we'd allowed for that, and still got to the
venue on time.
We were there to see The Black Brothers - two members
of an Irish family well know in their country of origin
who moved to Berkeley quite some time ago.
I didn't have a camera with me, as the Freight's website
explicitly states that no photography will be allowed.
As you can imagine I was more than a little annoyed to
find out that this was not the case - photography is
restricted, but not outright forbidden. (I was rather
looking forward to finding out just how well my current
camera did when compared to some older shots I'd taken
in the Freight's previous venue using my PZ-1p and the
A* 300/2.8)
Fortunately I was not totally without a camera - I had
my phone (a Google Pixel 6a)in my pocket. I got this:

I'm more than a little impressed!
