Ok! new here. What is the highest SD size that is recomended for the RD-1 and one more question what do you mean by QA problems
Ok! I lied one more right now I have enough to get the RD-1 and one lens my budget is the RD-1 and about $500 for a lens I know that there are hundreds of lenses to choose from ..... the two that I have been looking at are the 28/1.9 ASPH ULTRON and the 35/2.5 Pancake II M MOUNT
I would love to hear your comments

I didn't get the 28mm because, with my glasses I can't see the 28mm framelines. I do think the 35 2.5 is a wonderful lens though. I started with that and the Nokton 50mm, and for me that made a great combination. However, I used to use 40mm on my 35mm film camera quite a bit, and I kind of miss that angle of view.
One other thing about the 35/2.5; the camera has a good feel when it's on. The Nokton is great, but a bit large. I have never handled the 28/1.9, so I don't know how it compares.

Thanks sevres I'll probably go for the 35 2.5 and pic up something later
but no one has answered the SD question and the one about QA problems

I've gone up to 2gb with no problems. Previous and latest firmware. QC problems exist, I'd try to get a warrantied camera, but seems like they are out of stock here from USA authorized dealers.

Thanks then what does QC problems mean, OK! I got it Quality Control ... sorry I sometime can't see the ocean through the fog.

Lynn, please look through the posts in this forum and you'll get an idea of the range of problems our beloved camera suffers from. Cheers, Charlie

Lynn,
You might also want to consider the 40mm f/1.4 Nokton - an excellent fast lens and pretty good for general purpose use. Its also very compact, particularly without the optional hood, Makes sense as a starter lens because you could then go on and by one of the super-wides (either the 12 or 15 Super-heliar) and then something in the mid-20s - either the 21 or 25...)
As far as QC/QA goes the summary of faults experienced is:
1. Rangefinder alignment
2. Focus calibration
3 Blocked shutter (i.e. either doesn't release or doesn't cock)
Features and quirks are;
Some streaking/blooming in under-exposed scenes with intense highlights
Analog dials not functioning/sticking
I am sure there are others I've forgotten. I think the moral is buy new and from a reputable/local dealer...
