Epson Rangefinder R-D1 Owners Club

[DanielT]

😉 Today I have received from Epson Europe B.V. my Epson R-D1 membership card number 0037 , together with a Certificate of authenticity of my camera
Did any others R-D1 owners receive this card and the Certificate ?

I think the Owners' Club is a Europe-only deal; I suspect each region's distributor put together its own package of owner incentives.

In the US, sending in your registration got you a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements and a Tamrac camera bag. (There were some complaints at first about the suitability of this bag to the R-D 1, but I just took a trip with mine and it worked great for holding the R-D 1 body, a Bessa R3a body, about five lenses, a P2000, various chargers and cables, and a few rolls of film for the Bessa. Perfect fit.)

I think everyone gets the certificate of authenticity, regardless of where you bought it. This, of course, helps protect us from buying counterfeit R-D 1s (made from Fed bodies, perhaps?) : )

I've received mine in december.
Looks like we are not many European owners (37?) at first glance...
Best,

Is this true for people who registered via the internet in the USA. I saw the bag and elements offer but I did it over the internet. Don't really care about Elements but can always use another bag.

I did my warranty registration over the Internet, but I also sent in the card for the owner incentives. I think they're two separate processes.

Thanks, I will send in the paperwork on Monday just in case.

Yes, thanks. I did the Internet registration only too, but will now send in the card .
