Captured with the Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 HR Digaron-SW lens (@ f/7.1), Phase One IQ4-150 back (@ ISO 50, 1/125 sec), Cambo WRS 1250 camera. Stitched panorama of two images, shifted left and right +/- about 18mm.

This view reminded me of Malvina Reynolds’s famous 1962 song (though she was inspired by another San Francisco neighborhood - Daly City). If you look closely, the houses don’t quite “all look just the same”, but somehow, on the hillside there’s more uniformity than there is up close.

@mattblaze@federate.social my late wife introduced me to that song in Australia and now I cannot get it out of my head whenever I’m going to/from SFO!

This is an image that works best at the highest resolution. The Rodenstock 135mm lens has extraordinary edge-to-edge sharpness and a general lack of distortion that makes it especially well suited to wide stitched panoramas like this one.
