RX1R versus A7/Zeiss 35 2.8 FE Comparisons

[Oly5050]

So the questions I have for myself is that which camera I would most likely take out on a daily basis? 80% of the time it is more likely to be my RX1 rather than my A7R. I'm a "one camera-one lens" kinda guy so RX1 suits me more. However I'm also a sucker for lens that shows character (rather than being a pixel peeper) and that's why my Rokkor 58/1.2 or my FD85/1.2L is on my A7R most of the time.

So while this might not answer the OP's question, I felt it's a simple decision that (1) if the budget is no concern, get both. (2) if 35mm FOV or f2.0 is good enough for you, get the RX1/R as it is of better value & convenience (3) if you need lens other than 35mm, or that you would like to have the ability to play with several different lenses, then there is only one answer for me. Test charts means nothing to me...the hardware ability is already aplenty, it is the user that needs upgrading. Now the ability to take pictures that moves me is far more important than counting pixels.

Just sharing my thoughts on a slow night! ;p

Thought this comparison of lenses will answer some question that TS asked:

I am not really asking a question. But rather to see for myself if what people say about RX1R is sharper than A7 is true. From what I can see in dpreview and from my own tests, the equipment as it stands, when used by normal people like me, using 35 mm lens, does not appear to support it.

Also, I first bought the A7. After a while, I realized that the RX1R was quite compelling. It is just the price that turns me off. I eventually overcame than and ended up getting it and I now use the RX1R most of the time like Silgt. The silent shutter, compact form is quite compelling. The only time I use the A7 is if I need a tilt screen, or a hotshoe BOUNCE flash. My RX1R has a thumbs up grip in the hot shoe and the onboard flash cannot really bounce. I get way better pictures with the bounce flash at night with the A7. Still have no opportunity to do the same with the RX1R. But will test that out at the next opportune time.
