The lens is very compact yet provides an equivalent fov of 24mm to 75mm. The retractable zoom lens has a very small filter thread of ø40.5mm, similar to Minolta CLE lenses. The lens to the right of the 16-50 PZ is the 35mm f/1.8 lens . This lens provides an efov of 52.5mm - perfect for street photography. It has a filter diameter of ø49mm similar to the 50mm f/1.8 OSS and the 30mm macro - both are being discounted at the moment. The last and the largest of the new NEX lenses is the 10-18mm wide angle zoom lens . The efov is 15mm to 27mm, perfect for close quarters shooting. The lens has a constant maximum aperture of f/4 and a large front element with a ø62mm filter

Video by CameraDiner CameraDiner was a Photokina 2012 and was lucky enough to get a hands on with the Sony DSC-RX1 . The RX1 was not a functioning unit but it still gave a good impression. It felt heavier than was expected. The RX1 lens hood, thumb grip, and Zeiss optical viewfinder was also on hand for the demonstration. Thanks CameraDiner !
