Really enjoy the camera, good B&W output after simple PS.

Eric, I agree with Bill. I enjoyed these a lot...A varied yet cohesive set. Cheers.

Thanks all for enjoy the picture. Really sad that Epson couldn't make a full frame to compete with M9. For r-d1, 28mm is good for street shooting. For candid shooting, 40mm or 35mm is suitable.

yeah, i really enjoy using the R-D1 out of all my camera's so i feel the same way too. Even if they don't make a FF rangefinder i would still be satisfied if they provide a newer model with a higher pixel count.

For a RD-1, when you put the selector switch to 28, does it offer you the 28mm framelines or does it offer the cropped focal length framelines?

It's the correct frameline for a 28mm lens on R-D1. The view corresponds quite well to a ~40mm lens on a similar film camera i.e. a Bessa R3a.

the whole viewfinder is a 35mm so if you shoot with an 21/24 you can use the whole viewfinder. it's still the best viewfinder i have ever used with its 1:1 mag.

I'm wearing glasses. I think r-d1's 28 frame line is corresponding to the 24/25 mm lens. The 21mm lens is wider than the frame line.

Appreciate your enjoying the photo. Actually, the digital photo directly output from the camera is not so fantastic, but with a simple adjustment of contrast, it's becoming fantastic.
