AF here trumps any racketty old manual focus, zone or whatever. You just need good hand to eye coordination to press the shutter button at the right time in the continuous focus mode. Give it a while to get the old Leic techniques out of your system and learn to use the state of the art AF. No need to stop down as well.I have an R2 to use for a while
I don't enjoy using it yet, but there is no doubt it will produce fine images
In fact, at 35mm FL, I have never seen anything better.
And first real Sony Raws I have ever seen, too.
Simply putting a distance scale on the lens, focus tab, natural throw, and the ability to start up and shut down without changing the focus....well RX1r2 would be in more bags I think with those simple tweaks. A camera you can zone, then just pick up and shoot, these are basics Mr Sony, and no AF can match them consistently. The rest is frosting
LOL I used AF for years before about 2009. Of course maybe it's alot better now, but not simpler.

I'm going to check out those great tips, thank youSure, Charlie, without a doubt the sensor is outstanding.
I just want to point out that the 2 finger operated eye AF is a manifestation of CDAF. It takes its own time.
Try to use the on sensor PDAF as much as possible.
The Metro grip improves the handling enormously. It is a must have.
