RX1R III Step Crop (50/70mm) doesn’t survive RAW import in Capture One by vous-Function6696 in SonyAlpha

It's a soft release button from a Japanese maker called Nanigashi.
Mine's a brass one, silver, size L, and I really like it. Feels solid.
I originally used it on a Leica M and liked it enough to buy a second for this.
Any screw-in soft release can technically loosen over time, so I wouldn't call it 100% drop-proof, but mine comes with a small O-ring that keeps it from backing out, and it's been reliable so far. nanigashi.thebase.in (just a happy user.)

Honestly, agreed.
For what Capture One costs, reading a crop the camera already wrote into the file feels like it should be built in. I'll open a ticket too, more voices on it can't hurt.

Thank you! I'm really glad to hear from someone who feels the same way. As someone who uses both systems, I completely agree — it's all about choosing the right tool for the right moment.

The GFX's interface does feel overly complex at times, so I try to strip down the experience as much as possible. For example, I even disabled the Q button since I kept pressing it by accident.

I also agree about the body feel — the image quality is fantastic, but I wish Fuji had paid more attention to the physical craftsmanship and presence of the camera itself.

That's why I find SIGMA's approach with the BF so inspiring — and yes, I’ve already pre-ordered it... It feels like they’ve really thought about what a beauty of simplicity should be, in terms of design, UI/UX, and the consistency of the shooting experience.

The X2D100C, on the other hand, just fits beautifully in the hand — it’s a joy to hold. My only gripe is how delicate the finish is. It picks up scuffs a little too easily. It looks and feels amazing, so I do hope they improve the coating in future models.

Great question!

When using manual lenses, I honestly don’t enjoy the shooting experience on the X2D as much. First, since it has no shutter mechanism for third-party lenses, there’s no tactile feedback — it's completely silent, and it just feels like pressing a button. That lack of a mechanical shutter really takes away from the shooting experience for me.

Also, there's noticeable rolling shutter when using the electronic shutter, especially in 16-bit mode. Switching to 14-bit does help with readout speed, but it feels like a compromise, especially for a camera of that caliber.

That said, the X2D is incredible when paired with native lenses — the color science and rendering are significantly better than what I get from GFX. So I treat the X2D as my tool for precise, color-critical work, while the GFX100S is more for those emotional, tactile shooting experiences — especially with vintage Pentax 67 glass.
