    A few shots from Trout and Copper Lakes, from a hike this last weekend. High, but not too high, in the Cascade range of WA state.

    Sony Grab bag for my RX1R

    I recently picked up a Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack - its pretty much perfect for a RX1/r. I went with the Jumbo vs the regular size, because all it really does is add a water bottle holder, which works really well for a speedlight or something like that. The bag fits the RX1 + any accessories I...

    Sony I miss a viewfinder

    Exactly this. I loooove the articulating viewfinder. It is just so incognito, most of the time people have no idea you're taking a photo - I find this super useful with friends, as they're always on the lookout for me to take a picture... and even after all these years of reinforcing the...

    Sony RX1 Water protection?

    Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has found a suitable water bag or housing for the RX1, that isn't the $2500 Rec Sea housing? I can find all sorts of bags for the RX100, and two solid housing systems for the RX100, but absolutely NOTHING for the RX1. It isn't so much that I want to dive...

    Sony RX1 as a purchase today compared to new a6000

    The thing that both the A7/r and a6000 lack is a leaf shutter. By itself, the leaf shutter sync speed sets the RX1 as being completely unique, and for me, irreplaceable at the moment. That said, I also have a nice dslr system for the times that I need other focal lengths.

    Sony Count me in.

    I got a B&W 3-stop ND for bright sunlight shooting with a speedlight @f2. Works great, though 4-stops would probably help in some places. I've have a B&W ND400 for longer daytime exposures. A 10 stop ND would be nice for this....I still have yet to get a circular polarizer for it though, that is...

    what is causing this my 'banding' problem?

    Wow, I have not seen that issue before - I've gotta say I too would be frustrated as all hell!!! One of my favorite things about this camera is the way the sensor draws transitions between tones and shades.... I'm sorry to see you've got this problem! I too would be interested in taking a look...

    Was out celebrating a birthday for a close friend of my girlfriends, and my girlfriend wanted to give me some crazy eyes. I'm regularly impressed by this camera, it is such a fantastic little machine. ISO 12,800, f2, 1/125

    Sony Rear Sync

    Well, that's incredibly stupid. Got on Sony online customer support, and apparently for Sony, rear-sync is TTL dependent. They consider it an 'automatic' feature. So, for anyone that is ever interested in using this, just know that there is absolutely no way to do so without Sony speedlights. Ugh.

    Sony Rear Sync

    I know I asked this a month or two ago when I first got my RX1, but has anyone been able to get this to work? I'll set it in the flash drive mode I can only get it to work with the built-in flash. As far as I'm aware, rear-sync doesn't require any TTL communication, and is literally the camera...

    I've been using PocketWizard Plus 3's reliably at 1/1250" with Canon 600EX-RTs! I've still yet to try using any Sony flashes with the built-in wireless triggering to see if you can go any faster, but I'd sure love to.

    Sony Showcase RX1 Images

    Yeah, I'd probably agree. Any wider than 21 and I feel like it would be in rental territory. When I had my Tokina 11-16, I tended to use it near 14/15/16mm more often than the 11 side of things, so I feel this would really hit the sweet spot for me! But we'll have to see where the journey takes...

    Sony Showcase RX1 Images

    I do notice the difference between 28/35, exactly as you described it Ray. I agree, its a good FL for for normal shooting without getting the extra wide angle effect, however, I find that the RX1 fits this bill extremely well. The reason behind my interest in the 21mm is that I'm not only...

    Hey everyone, been a bit busy recently! I took a great weekend camping trip with my girlfriend this last weekend, here are a couple of my favorite shots off the RX1! Most of my other shots were done with a 5D3 and 28/50/100ZE lenses... The RX1 files just feel a bit more special than those :)...

    Sony Using the pop up flash as a commander works great.

    Out of curiosity, are you able to do Rear-Sync with this? Or, does the flash only fire at the beginning of the frame?

    Sony Showcase RX1 Images

    Yeah, I saw that post. I've tried multiple times, many ways and I still couldn't get it to trigger that way. I didnt have the option to test too much though. I'll play with it more later. I do agree, they need a Multi-interface trigger cable that has another MI hotshoe on top of it (like a...

    It is a Canon 600EX, handheld, triggered through a Canon OC-E3 cable. No wireless right now, and I can't get it to work in any fun ways other than straight sync up to 1/4000" at f5.6... not to say that isn't super cool!

    Got REALLY CLOSE.... :) haha! Actually, I just used a single speedlight (camera right and up) through a rogue flashbender w/diffusion panel. Then just made a couple of really slight adjustments in LR5! Nothing crazy!

    Sony External flashes

    It's just the basic 3ft coiled canon TTL flash cable. It only transfers the trigger, I havent been able to get it to do any more than basic flash triggering, but I'm trying to figure out more.

    Sony Using non-Sony external flashes with the RX1?

    I'm using a Canon 600EX in the hotshoe and with an off-camera cable. It only transfers trigger data, I haven't been able to get it to trigger rear-sync or wireless yet though. I think some others have had better luck in that department, but I'm experimenting. I'm definitely working to narrow...

    Sony What bag do you use for 2 cam set up?

    I use a Wotancraft City Explorer 'Ranger' with my RX1, 5D3, Zeiss 28/50/100 f/2s, a speedlight and a few accessories. The insert is 99.99% waterproof and the bag is incredible. A little heavy, but protects the gear incredibly well and looks super nice :D.

    Sony What are the "you should set the RX1 like this right out of the box" settings?

    I've got other functions mapped to the various controls, but the whole AEL for AF/MF toggle is KILLER... in both AF and MF modes - when in MF it engages AF and locks onto the selected target, or allows focus peaking MF when set to AF mode. Suhweet. Also, having the switch back and forth between...

    Sony Focus tracking; sounds too good to be true....how does it perform?

    I didn't even know about this. Gonna put it through the paces at a hip hop concert tonight. Hopefully it will work well!

    Sony using the RX1 pop up flash to trigger external flashes

    The built-in flash doesn't swivel up like the RX100, unfortunately. I haven't tried triggering external flashes at all (i only have canon ones), I'll experiment with that today. I do know that the HVL-F20M will work to trigger sony flashes in up to 3 groups though.

    Sony New guy here....RX1 bliss tomorrow!

    Agreed. There are batteries and chargers recommended on Steve Huff's page - bought the charger and 3 batteries for the price of one sony battery. They all work perfectly.

    Sony External flashes

    Yeah, I'm currently using the canon off-camera cable (short coiled one) with the hotshoe. I havent spent much time trying to get things to trigger via onboard flash. I cannot get the ST-E3-RT to trigger the 600ex's (expected to not work). It works, all the way up to 1/4000" at f4 and above, but...

    Sony RX1 - the camera I don't need.

    It also has 60fps at 1080p, and video AF. Pretty slick :) Really excited for the NEX FF. I may actually get rid of my 5D setup if the NEXFF ends up being good, the tiny RX1 has blown my mind haha

    Sony RX1 - the camera I don't need.

    It does have 24fps video. But not the 50mm :/. I'd really like an 85 or 100mm version, OR a id be willing to spend the extra money on a vario version.. like, 28/50/100 or something like that, as long as it was as good of quality as the lens is on there right now.

    Sony External flashes

    For that shot? 1/2000 I think. I've shot a few at 1/4000 as well. I loooooooooooooove the leaf shutter. Makes a speedlight feel so much more powerful than it is!
  36. K

    Sony External flashes

    Nothing huh? Other than the small footprint and overall image quality, the leaf-shutter sync speeds were the #1 selling point here for me... Figured someone else would be experimenting with flashes!

    Sony External flashes

    So, I've been using one of my Canon 600EX-RT flashes as a manual flash (all I've got). I've been looking at pairing the RX1 up with the little HVL-F20M for relatively close off-camera flash and TTL. Big flashguns feel ridiculous with this camera, and makes bag space requirements much higher. Has...

    Sony Finally sunk the cash into the RX1 yesterday...

    Beautiful. There is something to be said about the magic of painting with continuous lights. Flash is a wonderful thing though, btw, and if you want any help with it, I'd be more than happy to give you a few tips (from my relatively limited knowledge!)

    Sony Finally sunk the cash into the RX1 yesterday...

    Those shots are really great L! Out of curiosity are you painting in the white light there via flashlight or flash? Or is it just a really well placed street light?

    I still have my 5D3 and 28/50/100 ZE, but I really wanted something I could take anywhere and everywhere that could still match the output of that, and I think this may fit the bill. Also really nice to have a secondary camera for actual gigs. I'm considering getting away from the 28mm for my...

    ...and I'm absolutely ecstatic about it. How free I feel walking around with only this camera, the images it produces, and how unobtrusive it is.... is mind blowing. People aren't intimidated by the camera either... if they're in front of it, or taking a snap from the driver's seat. My wallet...
