The ability to shoot as a local without attracting attention to oneself is of major importance.Thanks Bob...I'm really trying to move away form all large heavy cameras....Nikon, phase one, etc. but want to make sure I'm getting equivalent or near so quality with sonys. Yes I love my a7r2 with the incredible zeiss 35 lens at f 1.4... I will mostly use the rx1r2 when I do shooting in public...markets, street, and also when hiking as it will fit in my rain jacket pocket. I took my rx1r with no EVF and no baseplate and handle to Russia last year, and I looked like a tourist, even a local.....and not shooting for artistic reasons, etc. I blended n With the crowds!

After some 20 years doing medical relief missions in South America Central America and West Africa I have been sensitized to the priorities of the local
community ... I rarely take a candid of anyone without their acceptance not their acquiscence and so I tend to avoid "people" shots. Lots of trees, buildings and
flora and fauna.
Still it is a wonder to have a small camera that is as complex and comprehensive as the RX1R II
