I have some firsts and I am a little worried about lasts: first post, first rangefinder, and maybe the last RD1 from B&H.
I considered the RD1 for a long time, made the decision to buy and then found B&H showed it "out of stock" then last month just checking I found it "in stock" and made the plunge.
I really like the "manualness" of it including cocking the shutter, it just feels good!
I have been out with it and taking a lot of photos, I'm finding it takes some getting used to get the focus real sharp. I've done the newspaper test for focus that was posted here and I can get it into sharp focus.
I have noticed the double shutter problem, and read all the posts about the firmware upgrade and comments of how easy it was and how good the improvements are, so I want to do the firmware update.
I have the download on my desktop ready to go. i have read the PDF instructions and find it troubling to read all the dire warnings about needing to send it to Epson if it screws up.
Is there anything special I should know about doing it from those of you who were successful upgrading?
Regards,
