I put together a ZI kit recently with the Zeiss discounts available now. I have the 50/1.5, the 35/1.4, and the 28/2.8. My compact digital is an RX1R2 (I shoot weddings and have Nikon digital equipment that only gets used for work projects), which has been a phenomenal performer in every regard. But it occurs to me that by selling it I'm most of the way to a used M. Does anyone think that my ZM 35/1.4 is an adequate replacement for the 35/2 Sonnar? Or does anyone think that the worse ISO performance and lack of AF are worth putting up with for the joy of using my three ZM lenses on the best available DRF that will take them?
Is the EVF on the M comparable to the EVF on the RX1R2? (I could then use it with slightly more confidence for work, or to close focus using filters).
Frankly I've been astounded with the little RX1R2 and I'd be sad to see it go. OTOH, this lovely ZM 35/1.4 is fantastic on film, do I need 2 35s in a compact camera? Probably not... But I've been prone to GAS induced mistakes before... Any advice would be welcome. :thumbup:
