I never really loved the X100 or other 35mm outfits that much, but I absolutely love the RX1. And part of what I figure must be the reason is it's dirty little secret - or maybe it's clean little secret: it's not really a 35mm lens. It's actually somewhere closer to 32mm. I saw someone else who'd written that figure - I don't know the precise focal length, but I absolutely KNOW it's wider than the other 35mm gear I've shot with. Since I've had an RX1 I've shot with the X100s, the GR (with it's 35mm crop), the Fuji 23mm lens on an XT1, the Zeiss 24mm lens on a Nex 6, and a Nikon 35mm full frame lens. And the RX1 is notably and obviously wider than any of them. And I've gotta figure that's one of the reasons I've connected with it in a way I haven't with other 35mm alternatives. It kind of splits the difference between 28, which I love, and 35, which I don't. And it works, at least for me...And, yeah, the files are really something to work with. So are the D610 files from the same sensor, but I don't have any lenses for Nikon bodies that match the Zeiss on the RX1...-Ray</blockquote>
