Fun with the RX-1

The magic of the Rx1. It just has a certain 'look' to my eyes and I keep finding, for lowlight concert photography, If I take the A7R MII, A7, or A7S, the RX1 keeps giving me better output.

You will read about it not focusing in lowlight, and being very slow in operation, ect. All I know is it is very easy to use and it bangs out shot after shot after shot. It remains my goto camera for lowlight concert shots, over the A7S and A7R, though those work really well also, but the RX1 just has a magical look in my eyes.

B&W in-camera or in-post?

Thanks,

Lucille - I must say those two concert shots... they are pretty nice! And good tonality. And JPEG! yes! :) I used to shoot JPEG a lot in old 4/3rds.

Question: for the 2nd to last shot- did you crop? If so by about how much? I am curious to know how close are you getting to the performers.

I rarely crop and when I do it is very minimal simply cleaning up a edge.

I do use the digital zoom which is a in camera crop. I have it mapped to a rear button, hit it once and it zooms to 1.4 which I think is 50mm, hit it again and it zooms to 2.0 which I believe is 75mm. It may hurt quality if you pixel peep at 100% I suppose but I don't care as it still gives me a killer RX1 image with that look.

The fact that the Rx1 can do this makes it more versatile, often at these venues 'professional' cameras are not allowed, but they never take issue with my tiny point and shoot Rx1. So since I can't switch lenses I will use the digital zoom and frame a image properly as opposed to make a big crop from the original 35mm file.


Now, I shoot locally for many Artists and I have stage access and am often found onstage getting a image that most wont, notice me onstage to the right of the frame:
