Sony RX1R II 42mp fixed lens full frame with leaf shutter
introduction
-
-
-
to make the most of the 42mp sensor, you need to shoot at fast shutter speeds, with flash or on a tripod, but it would make an awesome adjunct to a fashion/wedding/product photographer kit, especially with the moire reduction option and fast flash sync capabilities
its compact size makes it great for family/social events and for street photography

reviews
lens tests
-
1EV vignetting wide open corrected in camera
0.7% barrel distortion reduced to 0.1% in camera
wide open, corners are a little soft with some lateral CA but very good for a full frame lens
