a delightful choice...

...all part of 'the plan'.

i plan to buy the 'new' m mount cv 15 along with the new fast 75 lens sometime this year...first purchase hopefully in january.
i'm thinking the 15 (about a 21 on the rd1) should be first but i'm liking the idea of that fast 75 (about 115 on the rd1)...

i also want to get the 50/1.1 again but that one will take a bit more time...

tough decisions eh?

🙂

now that you've committed to keeping all your glass, the decisions get easier.

I LOVED what You did w/ the 1.1
Can't wait to see the 15 & 75 in your Hands
Cheers Joe & Happy , Festive Holidays !

You could get a 50/1.1 for the price of both 15&75 with money to spare. That 1.1 sparkled in your hands .... 115/1.8 seems to be too long/fast for the RD1.

Merry Christmas, Joe.

Do you shoot your RD1 pics as raw, or jpeg?

Joe, do you use an external viewfinder for your 21 and 90?

no...it only takes a little practice before getting a pretty good 'fix' on the coverage.

Good choices, Joe. I have the CV 15 on a crop body and like it. I have a hex 90 for my "crop" tele lens. The 75/1.8 would be even nicer (more speed and a little less length). Tim Barker's pics with the 75/1.8 are inspiring, if you haven't seen them.

These lenses aren't everyday glass, though. Which is why I haven't gone Ze/Le for ultra-wide and long.

I have been trying it on my film based RF's.

Yes, that would make sense. With film I am guessing but don't really get the advantage of chimping to see if I got it right.
