p.7 #1Pre-order the new Sony RX1R II today!
Hello from Hong Kong.
Just picked up mine from the local Sony shop. This piece alone here is worth the upgrade imo:

On a more serious note, when I picked this up in my hands it felt like greeting an old friend who underwent heart surgery for 3 years:

Getting rid of my A7R platform was a wise decision. Never bothered with anything other than 35mm really.
Focus is reassuredly faster in any lighting condition compared to the rx1 and a7r. In low light, instead of hunting across a wide focal distance until it locks focus, this machine just pauses with very little hunting needed to lock.

Is that charger included now with the camera? I was just about to order that one extra on the side. Also can you confirm whether it still uses the premium metal lens cap or if they switched over to the plastic one?

Yes the charger is included.
Yes it does come with the same metal cap as the RX1.

I've had that charger a while. It is such a great accessory I don't understand why all manufacturers don't have something similar. It's perfect as a case for a spare battery as well as providing the charging function

Glad to hear that the same charger is included, so I guess I don't have to order the set then and just a few spares.

At a 3:2 aspect ratio the RX1R2 lens is said to have an effect focal length of 35mm, but this would not the be same for other aspect ratios.
I wonder if anyone knows how to calculate the effective f.l. for the 4:3 and 1:1 aspect ratios.
For 1:1, it's a normal angle of view similar to 80mm's on 6x6 medium format film. Probably just slightly wider for 4:3.
Btw, the actual,uncorrected focal length is around 32mm's.
