What does $2000 more get me with the RX1 that I don't get with the EPL5?

Hi,

I am not buying one b/c of the absence of an EVF but

. . . the lens alone may be worth it.  A Zeiss 35mm lens in M mount is worth at least 1200-1500 by itself (even the Asian versions)  The Zeiss 35mm F2 is competitive with the Leica 35mm summicron (+/- ASPH) and new ones go for $3k; even used non-ASPH go for upwards of $2K

. . . the sensor and processing.

Output likely rivals or surpasses the M9 + 35mm for 1/3 price with AF/video/pocketability.

YUou may not want it but to those who understand/need it, it may not seem unreasonable.  Personally I own an M9 + lenses but I am largely replacing its functionality with the Fuji XE/P 1 + 35 1.4 (and soon 23 1.4),  IQ is close to M9 +AF, similar handling feel.

When the price drops to $2K I may be interested, even more so with an RX2 with built in EVF

hope this helps,

Ed
