Just wanted to share with other R-D1'ers the great results of which this camera is capable.
This is the cat next door. A friendly type but doesn't sit still for long. Shot this using my 135mm Leitz bright lines viewer from about 5 feet. Set the 90/2.8 at f8 and approximately 5feet on the hyperfocal scale. Speed was 1/125 and in fact 2 stop faster than required by the light. Used Lightroom and CS2 to increase exposure and sharpen a tad.
In days gone by I would have attempted a shot like this with my D80 and 18-200vr lens but then I sold that to finance my R-D1/Leica lens habit. I believe I made the right choice.

great focus Louis; much better than was able to achieve with my 90 elmarit.

Difficoult focus very well resolved.
Louis, could you please tell me how you make the photo appear on the thread, or some thread on this forum where I can find out? Thanks.

I can't remember where I learned the procedure from.... I assume it must have been a help page in this forum or the Leica forum which is similar.
Basically, if you look at the icons at the top of a message window you will see what looks like a paperclip (next to the smiley). When you click on that it opens a form which allows you to select and upload pictures from your PC. Once you have uploaded your pictures, you will see next to the paperclip a small 'pull down' arrow, this will drop a list of your uploaded pictures. Click on the one you want to insert into your message. Hope that helps - perhaps someone else can link to the relevant help thread.
