Happy new R-D1s user

[Stan001]

I'm learning with my new/old toy. I bought it 2 weeks ago from Mr Noriaki from Matsuiyastore/JP. Being a heavy dslr user over last 20 years it is quite an experience to use a rangefinder ;-) I'm personally surprised how quickly I embraced the simplified usability. I bought the new VC 35/1,4 from RobertWhite/UK. I paste also some first pictures.

Congratulations on the R-D1s. It's a great camera and I know that you'll enjoy it.

I concur with Bill (i.e.Vagabond). It's a great camera. I've had mine since May 2005. It goes with me everywhere. Great bokeh on that first image!

Finally I see pictures I like from that CV 35/1.4 lens. I wonder if it's because it was taken on RD? Good job and Congrats!
Keep those pics coming!

indeed, I had mine for a little over a month, and I take it everywhere, something I couldn't make myself do with the smallest DSLR setup I had (Canon XTi with 50/1.4 or 35/2)

couldn't have taken this shot if I hadn't had my camera with me, haha.

xtian, actually I got inspired by you ;-) Also saw your wedding pic - pleasant.

stan, image 054 (backlit bar scene) - what WB setting did you use (if shot RAW, nevermind)?

the colors seem very clean, nice job.

Hello Mike, shot RAW, Auto WB. No colour alterations in PS, just contrast.
