    Sony Hoocap + RX1 = <3

    Bought one. Very pleased. Not beautiful, but very functional.

    Sony What I Don't Like About the RX1

    Thanks for your response. I do think this is true, but hard to remember at times. I was walking in London once with the local vicar and said to him how some people were lucky because they didn't have problems. He was so shocked that he stopped and said "Oh no, there are problems behind every...

    Sony Manual focusing

    Taken using auto-focus on stonework, then re-composing this morning in sunny Cornwall. Using an optical viewfinder and auto-focus like this is a little like using an M9 because you don't know what the OOF is going to look like until you view the file on a computer.

    I like your quote very much: "Be kind... everyone you encounter in life is fighting battles you have no awareness of." Chris

    Sony Manual focusing

    I moved from an M9 to the RX1, and without the split-image rangefinder I have come to believe that it is best to use the autofocus, but in a particular way - ie focus on something at the distance you want to be in focus, hold that focus with a half-depression of the shutter, then compose and...

    Sony In praise of the Voigtlander 35mm external viewfinfer

    I use autofocus because I love out-of-focus effects and generally want to be able to use the lens at a big aperture and focus on either the foreground or background. I resent that the shortest RX1 exposure time is not brief enough to let me use f/2.0 in bright light. You pay for all that glass...

    Sony In praise of the Voigtlander 35mm external viewfinfer

    The 35mm Voigtlander seems perfect to me. I never had a rangefinder film camera, so the framelines plus guessed focussing - mainly using the hyperfocal setting method - were how I did it. I'm back to that, but with auto-focussing. Seems fine.

    Sony In praise of the Voigtlander 35mm external viewfinfer

    I trust the auto-focus! I set my focal point by centering it in the viewfinder, half-depressing the shutter and finally compose.

    Sony In praise of the Voigtlander 35mm external viewfinfer

    Really interesting and instructive reply. Thanks. The extra stop I'd thought about, but your points about covering all the sensor and auto-focus I hadn't thought of at all.

    Sony In praise of the Voigtlander 35mm external viewfinfer

    I just could not face paying the price for a Sony external viewfinder, so I bought a Voigtlander from Amazon.co.uk for £128. I am thrilled with it. It is small, bright, and has lovely bright-line framing. It has no distortion for all practical purposes, and seems to accurately show the area...
