I find the OVF really useful. In fact, I nearly always use it. Since there is no horizontal parallax, I don't find my AF rate to be any worse than with the X100/X100s. I delinked the AE from the shutter, and the camera's metering is very good. I trust it more than my M9's metering in manual mode.
Of course, I can always use the LCD if I have a situation that looks like it will be particularly tough in terms of AF or metering, but that is relatively rare. Once you learn to visualize where the center AF point would be in the OVF (I use a Voigtlander,) and then visualize it dropping slightly as the subject gets close, it's pretty easy. You can "feel" the AF lock in your hands, so an AF confirmation light isn't really even necessary. The RX1's isn't a speed demon, but it nearly always locks on.
I was surprised by all of this. I didn't expect to feel confident in the OVF, so I ordered an EVF, too, but I've since gotten rid of the EVF, because I never used it. I've certainly changed tunes with the whole thing, and I appreciate the modularity of the RX1's viewfinders....Show more →
Intriguing. It doesn't seem like AF is a problem them with OVF. I'm sure there is probably even a 35mm finder that has a cross in the middle somewhere to visualise focus point? Either way, I'm not sure how you cope with metering. To me, if you had control over minimum shutter speed with auto-ISO it would make things easier. I just feel like not knowing what the shutter speed was would annoy me / hold me back too much. I can only speculate though.
