I have absolutely no doubt it will. It's the way I have my a6000 set up.

I did not think much of that (EVF) but it is good to know it is better than the pricey/add on!
I love the little cross on the front. It is close enough to a Red Cross that it evokes a feeling of first aid and spiritual aid together.As I wait for the release of the Rx1r II, here is a shot from my original Rx1.
Horse Springs New Mexico.
The Rx1 went with me to every ghost town we could find in New Mexico.
Two of my favorite things, in one place.
Stunning blue skies and fluffy white clouds a bonus.
Oh, and ghosts. Always a plus.

I am really impressed by his work and blog.
He generates unique information.

Don't buy it then. It includes the EVF and grip.

So now we're doing remote price policing?

Let's avoid comments on sale pricing. It can affect a sale but sending a PM to a member to try and help them is a nice gesture.

I looked at the LensRentals lens evaluation blog, but I don't know, when you get into the details of MTF charts or other bench testing, my eyes start to glaze over. The Sony bench test seemed sooo complicated to set up, making me wonder if it is valid in the same way as a lens mounted on the camera. Best way to test the lenses is just to rent them and use them for a few days. In that regard, LensRentals is a great service. I plan to try renting on Otus lens, just to see what it is like. They even rent infrared converted cameras.

The general wisdom was, lenses are for the long term, cameras are consumables.
Well, I wonder whether that is still true, considering the fairly new practice of in camera lens corrections for ILC systems.
Of course, this doesn't matter for the Rx1r2 with its builtin lens.
BTW, what is the reparability and expected useful lifespan of this camera?

Interesting point. Hopefully, at least within one camera ecosystem there won't be too much planned lens obsolescence.
I feel that Sony is doing a credible job of preserving value in their A mount lenses.
I expect a decade or so of repairs on the RX1 cameras. It's not like Sony will fix old Walkman's or Betamax players. Old electronics are just not easily repaired. Once the parts are eventually gone no one is going to fabricate them again as the ancient technology won't even exist.
Hmm, that may apply to modern lenses as well.
Okay, time to get a CLA on my Leica IIIa.
Oh, wait, silly me, my iPhone 22 will probably crush my Stone Age 42MP A7r2 under its sleek, oh-so-sexy boots.

Yup, Bill, you may well be right.
No doubt, the iPhone 22 controlled by your brain waves.
I had a slightly different reaction and just bought another R lens. :grin:

I was going to raise the same question.
Perhaps it still needed more work or was not yielding the improvements hoped for yet?

These are the ones that ring for me in your list.
The little Ricoh GR fills these rolls a lot of the time but at times I'd like a bit more IQ and 35mm.
The third one needs no explanation, but luckily I don't have to work with any of mine.
I am even considering the RX1r as a compromise on the cost.

Had some hands on time with the new camera this week at Photo Plus - no images taken on SD card.
My main interest was in the EVF and AF speed.
EVF is very nice. The magnification puts it in-between the size of the original a7 bodies and the .78 of the a7RII and a7SII. I was worried that it was going to be small and squinty like the RX100 - not so. I'll also say that compared to the new EVFs in the Leica SL and the Q, the Sony EVFs are much more true to life in terms of color and contrast. The Leica EVFs, while high resolution and largely magnified have a weird matte look with a warm tint that I do not care for at all. Another example of specs telling a lie I guess.
AF speed was very quick - maybe not as fast as the Q or SL but certainly a significant improvement and one that is going to satisfy me. I also noticed that like the AF system in the a7RII, it is very surefooted and won't hunt easily. I was able to get the SL and Q to hunt on command, depending on the contrast level of my subject.
The camera felt the same (physically) and the way the EVF system pops up is very cool. I asked a rep at Sony if the EVF cavity represented an egress point for dust and his answer was "no less than the pop-up flash on the original".
So happily, nothing I saw swayed me from my decision to upgrade my original RX1 but I'm still looking forward to doing a comparison of the two once the new body arrives in November.
