a surprise for me...

...is that i'm not missing the rd1 as much as i thought i would.

i thought i would be suffering from seller's remorse and down in the photo gear dump!

but i have really fallen hard for the x-e1 and that 35mm lens...funny as 50 was never a favourite on any camera before...i even like the 18 which as a 28 i never really warmed to.

i guess an old dog can learn a few new tricks.

i still like the x-pro1 as well ...just not as much as the smaller x-e1...

That's good to here. I'm not surprised though because the X-E1 looks like a very good camera. I'm lusting for a digital Leica right now, but the Fuji lineup is tempting. Much cheaper and full featured.

Welcome to the world of digital.

rd1 was digital...?

No reason to miss old panties when new ones aren't uncomfortable. Cameras are like underpants - one don't feel them when they fit right and don't miss worn ones. Problem is when they are too small or too large, or cause bad etch....otherwise - they come and go, so cameras do.

now, that's a unique was of looking at things...

Good news and sometimes we get pleasantly surprised when we try new things. Congrats....

Now you've entered the realm of, "Oh greatest new thing, must have!" instead. Heheh.

Sold away my M4... but I don't miss it.
The only M I miss is my M2...

 

[lam]

I miss my first M2 as well, if I could remember who I sold it to i'd track it down..

 

[Vincent.G]

The buyer I sold to refused to sell it back...

Well Joe, my RD1 has gone the same way as yours. Sold to a member here yesterday. He should have it this morning and hopefully he'll enjoy it as much as I did. I never lusted for a Leica while owning it.

Funny, I'm going the opposite way, older the better, at the moment. I expect that will change, it has before. I do envy users of new/newer cameras though, no worry about light leaks in bellows or shutters, frame spacing issues, range finder alignment etc. Most of those are worries rather than reality though. I do like the idea though of that warrantied, new camera, but not enough to actually do it, and move away from the beautiful classics.
