? You have the camera, for sale? Drop me a line.Looking for US-based beta testers who have a RX1R-II. PM me.
Can trade in a nice MM.
This surprises me. Looking at the photos in the image thread here and on FM and having used an RX1 for 4 days myself, there is no question in my mind as to how good this lens is.

Nothing negative about the lens at all. It is just that when I asked Zeiss what an "advanced aspheric" is, they had no idea!
(It is a Zeiss badged Sony lens and by all accounts a superb one!)

The manual is now online:

A few folks on DPR picked one up this morning. The first reviews are quite positive. One guy said the AF is every bit as good as his A7rII, and the EVF looks great and is very responsive.

I've been waiting for a pop up EVF since June 2006... here's a mock up I did back then :grin:
I love the pop up EVF on my RX100 m4, and expect the one on the RX1R2 to be irresistible :facesmack:
Cheers

Dammit! Seems that someone hijacked my Fedex truck today! Dealer called to say that it won't be here until Friday. Oh no, the wait ... (Ok, not really )
All I can say about the 35/2 in the original is that I've never wanted for better quality, just maybe a 1.4 equivalent to the Summilux (the only Leica lens that I miss)

UK shipping
I ordered and paid for mine upfront from Park Cameras (I get nearly everything from them) on the morning orders opened and expected to hear yesterday that their first shipment had arrived. Sony generally delivers to them on Wednesday. But they didn't receive any, which is a bummer. I'm off to Florida at the weekend and was going to try a week's shooting with nothing but the rx1rmk2, the rx100 mk4 and an ipad pro.
I'll live. Life is too short to get hung up on new camera arrivals and, for some reason it seems always the case that some exciting order arrives the day after I leave for a trip so I'm used to it by now - but oddly, I heard that Wex already had their first batch. Any one else in the UK heard anything?

The US $ is stronger and they shipped all their produce there.
When it debuted, the atrociously priced RX1 was offered here first. Then the Euro was quite strong.

I have mentioned this here before- with the LPF set to low, there is amazing amount of moire.
Given this, why are people saying that the lens is going to be the limitation with this camera?

My lack of Korean notwithstanding- that is a comprehensive review! :thumbup:

Because they know nothing and it's a Sony what do you expect. Sony is the garbage of the industry. Having said that I'll take 2. LolI have mentioned this here before- with the LPF set to low, there is amazing amount of moire.

Regarding Moire; can't this just be taken out post-processing in Photoshop?
By the way, SonyAlphaRumors is indicating that Amazon now has a special on the camera, with a $200 dollar merchandise rebate. Too bad I already ordered mine from B&H. That is OK, because they gave me a fair price on all of my trade-in gear, including my A7r, much more than two other major camera stores were offering.

There are three settings - off, standard and high. The DPR images linked here have the LPF set to "off".I have mentioned this here before- with the LPF set to low, there is amazing amount of moire.

From looking at DPR's flat field studio shots, having the LPF set to "high" eliminates all moire with a small hit to sharpness (emphasis on "small hit", and only noticeable at 1:1). Setting it to "standard", virtually all moire disappears and there is no hit to sharpness. This will be my initial setting.
