Sony RX1 Sample Photos

Maybe it's time to sell the Leica an just go full digital.

You mean with an RX1? Does it look that good to you? How many Leica lenses do you have? Could you live with just the RX1's 35mm focal length?

John just two lenses 50mm Summicron and a 40mm Voightlander. Most of my others have slowly been traded or sold off. I would like a small carry all. I think the RX1 is just to high in cost the NEX 6 would be the better choice. Just thinking out loud as they say.
Since I got the a850 I just have lost all interest in film.
I hate to see a good Leica go unused.

The NEX-6 is nice but it's nothing like the RX1. I need to get an article done about the NEX-6, too. Just have other things that needed to get taken care of first. But don't think that the NEX-6 would be a worthy replacement for your Leica. I don't know anything about Sony's plans, but I have to assume that if the RX1 is successful, they will make some kind of follow-up. Maybe they'll make something with a full-frame sensor that will take your Leica lenses? If I were you I'd hang on to it for a while just to see what happens. Plus, once again, if the RX1 is successful - and it looks like it will be - Sony will probably come out with a second generation version that costs less.

Thanks for the advise. I guess for now I will just hang on to it. To be honest I can't lose money on it as the prices of Leica cameras seem to go up with time and not down. You have seat time with the RX1 and I trust you.
