    • Not too bad... RX1 OG: 700 euros used RX1R: 900 euros RX1R II: 2000+ euros The Mark II price is only going to stay high and may even go up as it has features the Mark III removes such as the articulated screen, oops. The old pop-up EVF is more premium and funky too. I think the hiatus was about protecting E-mount, as for some people a fast 35mm is all you need, and the return is about trying to out-Leica Leica on profit margins. Sony are a very numbers driven company. I have always liked the RX1 series as it was one of the very few options if you wanted a full frame sensor and beautiful fast 35mm Zeiss lens matched to the sensor, in an overall package that is smaller than even Micro Four Thirds. Hands down one of the best compact cameras ever made... the Contax T3 of our times. The successor was never going to be cheap, but the price escalation in the camera industry really makes me an unhappy customer. I haven't bought a camera "new" for years.
    • Too late. there's a f2 35mm takumar on its way, i may also get a warming filter for  the double whammy or more likely just for comparisons  Lens should be here by the end of the month.  It kinda rounds out my takumer set, i have most of the focal lengths i think although none are matching, there's taks, super taks, and smc's. i don't think i have a 28mm and definitely no eight element either. Next item will be a speed booster i think, to claw back some of that crop and i presume it gives me  an additional focal length for each lens. Well thats how i'm looking at it anyway.
    • Same sensor as the Nikon D4. I had a play with the Sigma BF recently, and the controls are quite frankly batshit. I came away a bit underwhelmed and it's definitely not an intuitive camera when you first pick one up. Some very strange decisions by Sigma going on with it. It does look pretty though.
    • Actually, I screwed up the last image, so here's a replacement: and here's the revised node graph:  
    • I've also started looking at things in post. First was to look at the grain section of the Film Look Creator, which softens the image as well as adds grain (because that's how film works!).  I tried it on a few images and was actually surprised at how subtle the effects were, especially compared to how strong the look of some of the lenses is. It's more visible on motion rather than on frame grabs, but still. I also had a go at emulating some of that edge softness.  There's a whole world of ways you can do this in Resolve, but this is one way. Here's the node graph.  If anyone is curious for an explanation of why I'm doing it this way, just ask.
