Sony makes a semi hard protector. I've been using those since i've owned a NEX 7. I used to think they would not be necessary since I owned DSLRS before from the big two but Sony's LCDS are really easy to scratch. My NEX 7 got a minor but sometimes noticeable scratch (visible when you had a...

Agfa, Well done in getting an RX1. I see you are looking for accessories for it. I have quite a few and I can make a small write up for it: - Hood 1 (rectangular shape) there is one I highly recommend and thats the UNX 8118. It's a Japan import and it isnt necessarily cheap (I paid the...

These days you can find an RX1 for maybe around $1500 or so on ebay. I got my second RX1 as an open box item from amazon in january for $2,000. I was lucky, but I was keeping an eye out for the opportunity. Keep an eye out. There is always someone that starts their auction at 0.99

Haven't been here for a while. During my absence I ended up getting another RX1 as back up. Killer camera/lens. Cannot find a single more convincing combination anywhere with the lens, sensor and size combination. No, not an A7/r with a CV 35mm 1.2...the edges and corners are nowhere as good and...

Ming Thein has not seen the obvious, hence why I don't think his thoughts are rational enough. The new A7/r cameras are not a threat to the RX1/r because, quite simply, there is no interchangeable lens (other than maybe the Sigma 35mm 1.4) that matches the Sonnar in the RX1. Also, no camera...

I imagine the 95mb/s cards are Sandisks. I use those. The 8gb type. That being said, there was an extensive research done on the usual Lexar vs Sandisk speeds. I can't find the link right now but the summary is: "different card brands and types perform differently depending on the camera" I...

This is true. Sony doesn't update software much. Then again, Fuji (which is seen as the example of firmware updates) updates often include things already found in Sony cameras (reliable AF, easier fly-by-wire MF, focus peaking) among other bug fixing updates. When I had a NEX 7, the biggest...

I haven't seen that many RX1's for $2k or less. Quite honestly, next time I am in the US I will hunt on ebay like a madman. Where did you find those $2k RX1s? I want a back up to mine.

I am not the DYI type of guy to do stuff like this. But, if anyone feels entrepreneurial, they should make a thumbs up with contacts to attach EVF on top. It should not be very complicated thing is one knows his way around these things. If you mass produce it, it will sell TONS especially...

I would say: Like and SLR without any focusing aid (split screen or microprism) I understand your frustration with magnification only with focus peaking. I am really hoping Sony releases a firmware update to correct this and leave it as it is applied to all NEX cameras and even the RX100 (!)

As it stands...no solution I can think of unless you were to place an object where you would be, then press the release, push the object away and take its place. Otherwise...you may want to buy a long cable release http://www.adorama.com/images/large/CZCR40.JPG They are inexpensive and...

I believe you need to eliminate the things that could have gone wrong to find out: 1) If you use the camera, as usual, are your shots out of focus too? 2) When you are using the timer, by the time you have fully pressed the shutter (thus activating the timer) the camera would be pre-focused...

I have just tried my EVF and LCD on my RX1 for you. The black out on the LCD and EVF is the same. I just noticed this because I was curious as you asked. It is about half a second. However, you can continue to shoot as fast as your finger allows you to until the buffer gets full.

I haven't tried to leave the EVF on at all times. What I have tried is to have the LCD off at all times. The EVF comes on as soon as you approach it or press the EVF/LCD button on the EVF. The LCD also has the option of only displaying shooting info without live view. So you see a black screen...

Leica's EVF is an Olympus EVF. It may be a couple of generations behind current EVFs (someone please correct me on this if I am wrong) Can you try a NEX 7 or 5n with the EVF attachment? If so, then you are getting closer to the Sony EVF technology. The RX1 EVF has the same resolution as the...

Hi, I find the exposure of the RX1 to be either spot on or sometimes 1/3 over. I had a Sekonic 558 before and I compared that to my then NEX 7, 5n, 5D2 and now the RX1. They were all within 1/3 or spot on when measuring incident light on the Sekonic and matrix metering for all three. The...

Very interesting. I do agree that the more unified feel of the Fuji's is a notch above the body+evf experience of the RX1. I do miss my NEX 7 on that behalf. Yes, I also appreciated the great OVF experince but after using a Contax G2 in the past, I swear, nothing comes anything close to its...

No worries. I do understand the difference between 28 and 35. It is big enough to be there, indeed. I, on the one hand don't really fancy 28. If I have to have two lenses, however, and the choice was 35 and below, I would go for 24 and 35. Yes, I also noticed the angle of the Zeiss 24 being...

Thought I would post the more mature kit. Exchanged the Gariz half case (seen on another thread here) for the RRS grip. I find the grip really adds more comfort when using the camera. I have fat-ish hands and holding the RX1 like a compact camera wasn't really helping. Granted, the Gariz half...

Here is a simple example on how to achieve HFD with the 35mm lens in the RX1 (using the M9 as reference FF format) In the example above, we set the camera to focus at 11m (yes, I know the far limit in the screen is 3 and then infinity...but you can choose something at roughly 11m and manual...

Ricoh Snap Focus is using a very simple thing that many in photography should know to begin with: Hyperfocal distance focusing. Hyperfocal distance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You can achieve HFD by using a simple depth of field calculator: Online Depth of Field Calculator Choose...

But Lightroom 4.4 already supports RX1 ARW files. Are you comparing 4.4 to 5? or a previous version?

Unless you use Irident Raw Developer Processing X100S RAW with IRIDIENT DEVELOPER – Part 2 - The Visual Experience :: The Visual Experience Which unfortunately is MAC only and not for Windows. I wonder, then, whether the RX1 files could benefit a bit more from a developer like this...

When I had a 5n and NEX 7, I could fit in a Hadley small: * both bodies * 50mm 1.8 attached to 5n (5n with EVF screwed on) * 24mm 1.8 attached to NEX 7 * Voigtlander 35mm 1.2 II * Voigtlander 15mm * Pelicase with 16 SD cards * Small pouch with 6 batteries * Cleaning cloth and wet wipes *...

I think it depends on taste. I use manual everything. My settings are: AEL Button: Toggle between AF/MF (AF is actually DMF) Back Wheel Left Button: ISO Back Wheel Centre Button: One press change flexible spot position if on Flexible Spot AF Back Wheel Right Button: White Balance Back Wheel...

Welcome to SC Congratulations on joining the RX1 team. I, for one, consider this the best 35mm FF sensor combo under the sun. I came through a similar way as you did. Contax first (645, NX, N1, RTS III, RTS II, G2) then Nikon D2x, Canon 5D2...etc. I tried the X100s and the X Pro 1 and...

I am using UNX 8118. I love the styling. It screws onto the filter screw, not the bayonet, so if you have a filter (like I do) then it will sit on top of that. https://www.photographerslounge.org/attachments/f111/6202d1370425309-show-us-your-rx1-rx1.jpg Amazon.co.jp￾F UN 49MM ŠpŒ^...

Hi Ray, Thanks for that. Wow, a 10th of the effort and same gratifying experience. That one is real genius. Well, I'm going to try that one as well and see how it works! Thanks for the tip!

Just made a new thread showing what I did to make the fit tighter.

Hi everyone, dtchan dropped his newly acquired OVF. I believe many here have expressed concerns about the rather loose fit of the accessories on the hotshoe on the RX1 so the rubber band technique was deviced. I decided to see whether I could somehow tape or temporarily 'fusion' the EVF to...

Hi, The first, very important, difference between these lenses is the aperture. Wider aperture lenses will almost invariably be larger than their slower siblings (speaking of same focal length here The second, as important as above, difference is the purpose of design. As seen in the NEX 7 and...

Did the EVF survive? I am loving my RX1 and I "designed" a way to make the EVF attach more securely to the hotshoe without the need of a rubber band. If anyone's interested I can post a few photos of the way I made that a tighter fit.

Hi, All CIZ is doing is cropping the shot. There is no advantage in doing it in camera vs cropping later. You are reducing the mp as you crop (I think its 14mp on 50mm) so either way you are going to get the same result. Doing in camera gives you a JPEG while doing it separately gives you the...

Earlier this year, the rumors of Sony preparing a new phone with a new sensor for its camera gave light to a new jpeg engine developed at Sony to improve the jpeg drawing of their cameras. Sony, aware that many amateurs and professionals complained that their jpeg drawing is the worst in the...

I agree on the LED light for writing to the SD card. I don't mind the lack of level+histogram screen. I do agree on the external charger (serious money pinching there) However, I disagree on two things: 1) The AF speed In the great perspective of things, the only other true option for a...

Well, ended up going with the standard Gariz case. Thanks Errz for the help, though. Also, found cheap soft shutter release buttons on ebay so got three of those for 6 quid! Now, it's all black...

All camera brands use one way or another to compress their RAW files. When I had my 5D2s, files were very variable in size. Some would be 20mb, some 32mb, and so on. When I got my NEX 7, I saw that every file was 24mb give or take some kb. Of course, I got curious how could a 24mp camera yield...

When I bought my NEX 7 and Zeiss 24, I still had my 5Ds and lenses. I wanted to make sure that I wanted the trade of I was getting. I realised that I gave up: 1) 1.5 stops of high ISO performance 2) Fast AF 3) Sturdy body 4) Appearance of professionalism But I gained: 1) Smaller, lighter...

I forgot to mention the children situation. To photograph with any contrast AF camera is to become more adept at predicting reality. You need to focus on what you want to photograph, then think of of focusing the lens and catch the moment when it happens. You cannot do the "OMG, its happening...

Hi, I'm gonna try to be as helpful as I can in perspective of what you are getting into. I had a 5D2 and the same lens, along with a 24 1.4 (version I) and a 50 1.4. The 5D2 has the same focusing module as your 5D classic (Interesting name, I know, but that's the name it goes by in a few...

Got some very nice twilight light today...

Isn't AEL meant for exposure lock? I believe that may be the default function. If history serves for logic, then AEL could also be AF lock and Exposure lock. You just need to dive in the menus and find out whether such option can be assigned to it.

New Sony RX1R will be the same camera minus the AA filter. That's all. Price may be a bit higher than current RX1. Same analogy as Nikon D800/E. I highly advise staying away from the camera. However, take the the first opportunity of someone coming from the US or another country where the RX1...

Hello Errz, Welcome to SC. How do you like the Gariz handmade case? I am thinking of getting one of those but besides the left hand side (the side where the focus selection wheel is at) more cover, I wonder if the fit is any better than the more common case. Does the grip really add...

Wow. Glad you got that sorted! I didn't want to freak anyone out. I just thought, by looking at the video, that the sealing wouldn't be very good. I experienced my first dust on sensor issue with a Canon G10 because of it's telescopic zoom lens. It really annoyed me, but what was more annoying...

Dynamic Range is really good. Slightly better than NEX 7/5n. Another quick shot.

Just got my RX1 a few days ago and loving it. Need to proper go out. Wasn't finding much motivation today but did try to make the best of the weather.
