Speaking of f2.0, what sort of portraits do you shoot at this aperture? Head-shot? Shoulder? Half body or full body? I\'m always afraid of missing focus at f2.0 and the background blur may be too much to reveal the \"environment\" too. Maybe I just need to see some good f2.0 shots to convince me to keep the RX1R!
speaking just for myself i think 35mm at f/2 is just about perfect for environmental protraiture – usually waist up or more + considerable amount of the surroundings. a few examples if you\'re willing to endure more pics of my daughter:
it\'s works nicely for head shots too, though i\'m not terribly fond of that type of portrait to begin with and you do have to watch the perspective and angle, otherwise it can look a bit unflattering:
the rx1 lens is great for manual focus because it gives so much pop when it\'s in focus, imho the AF is too slow for use on people in portraits unless they are posing.
