Hi! Folks. It may be a surprise to many of you to know that I have just traded in my N1,and the two lenses 24-85,and 70-300mm, for a trial period with an RX. Yes you may well say, for goodness sake why?
I did have an RX a few years ago, and had some wonderful results with it, until foolishly, I thought I could do better with a Canon System,forget it. The RX, and its associated prime lenses, to me are an absolute pleasure to use,providing the user with superb results.
Why then go from the N1 to the RX, the answer to me is simple,the differential in price.
Having used both cameras,and their respective lenses,I still can,t justify the differential in the quality to price ratio,and still believe that the prime lenses,have the beatings of the modern day Zooms,and to be perfectly honest I just could not afford to add to the two lenses that I had for the N1.
I have to give credit to my local Contax Dealer in Clitheroe who agreed to let me have the use of a second hand RX, as the rumour of an upgraded RX was a possibilty, but Dirk has answered that query with his recent posting, it ain,t going to happen, so for me,it is a new RX,to go along with the lenses that I hold the 28.35.50.and 85mm primes, and still have cash to buy another lense.
Yes! as I have said, I did have an RX some years ago, but it would be very nice to hear of any comments Good or Bad, that any of you may have relating to the RX, before I ask my dealer, to get me a new RX. Good Shooting.
Kind Regards. Ken Taylor.
