Now that the RF is finally here and I’ve had a couple of days to digest material about it… I get what they’re going for and see the appeal, but my personal feelings are still kinda mixed. Mostly due to the choice of the fixed 28mm f/4 lens. I like and shoot 28mm, but spend far more time in the 35mm-50mm range.
Have minor concerns about the lack of IBIS. That said, I mostly shoot 120 film and 95% of those shots are without a tripod. I don’t have any concerns about holding those steady at the appropriate shutter speeds, so I’m guessing that I’ll just have to try the RF in person to see how much it matters for me and the way I shoot.
Hoping to see more feedback in the world soon from folks who weren’t floated out loaner units or didn’t get one for free.
