The RX1 images continue to amaze my, almost without exception the images here look very pleasing. I like them a lot.
I wonder if it is the camera/lens combination that is simply that good and has a bit of a "special look", or is it that only skillful serious photographers buy and use this speciality camera and in same hand with different camera/lens combo would give equally pleasing image.

For fellow RX1iii owner: I tried all setting options on the camera and couldnt enable focus wide open and shoot stop down. Whenever I changed aperture on lens, iris stop down/up right away.
This is annoy for a few reasons, 1, you can't do hyer-focus to max depth of field in manual mode. Usually, I select Manu mode, back button focus and recompose for anything non human to maximize DOF or subject I want to be in the best focus (I don't want camera to decide in focus zone or transition) 2. For stop down AF tracking, less light enter to AF system, the focus will be slow and inaccurate. Early Z7/Z6 have this annoying limitation (focus aperture the same as shooting aperture before f5.6) but I believe they fixed in later mode with feature you can select.
I have used and bought RX1R3 almost 1 year and usually find this kind of stuff within week but due to limited time, I no longer shooting much and didnt digger deeper on this until I plan to take it as my only camera for upcoming business trip.
Any help, confirmation will welcome. I hope I missed something here though I have done some extensive research on this. Looks like either Sony didnt sell much this camera or most people doesn't care this feature.
