Weird: my first thought on the rx1r ii is that it is crazy expensive and not justifiable, but the more I think of it the more tempting it is. Here are a couple of random thoughts that sort of coalesce into rx1r ii as an answer for me:
1. ever since the rx100 iv was announced I have been very intrigued with the notion of a pocketable high quality P&S. The tiny size gives it more potential to be available and usable at all times.
2. For a long time I\'ve been undecided, but wanting/needing a high quality 35ish mm lens. Earlier this year I tried and loved the FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA, but after posting images here on FM fellow forum members noted that the optics were defective, so I returned it (as defective) and haven\'t had the heart to give it another try. Then the new Canon model was announced. Optics look excellemt. And, of course, Zeiss recently announced a new Otus 28mm f/1.4 (but it will be more expensive than the rx1r ii).
Put those two different perspectives together and the rx1r ii is starting to look more justifiable and downright exciting/intriguing.
