Weird indeed. I have read the RX1 lens is actually a bit wider than 35, more like a 30, which could explain part of it. Also stupid as it may seem, maybe simply shoot a grid of some sort to examine distortion? Not sure if focus distance plays a role here though (whether then Zeiss is optimized for closer rather than infinity shooting)
It's definitely wider than 35, but I don't believe it's as wide as 30. Comparing it to various 35mm equivalents and 28mm equivalents, it's as close or closer to the 35's than the 28s. I've read one pretty detailed analysis suggesting it's more like 32, which sounds more right to me than 30, just because it's closer to 35 than to 28. To me, 28mm frames have a certain look to them that 35mm don't, being that much closer to "neutral". The RX1 is definitely covering more area than any other 35 I've used, but it LOOKS more or less like a 35, and not like a 28 to me...
