Hello...
I been using my Nikon D70 extensively and I am very happy with the results, fortunately I got a freelance job and pay itself very quickly. I love the picture quality but I miss the feel of the mechanical cameras like my beloved F3 I had to sold in order to get the D70...
I been tempted by a Leica M6 but being realistic how many more years film will be available on a regular basis? 5 years maybe? the camera for sure will outlast the availability of film that is why I think in the Epson RD-1 instead. I want a camera for the years to come, forget about tendencies and forget about the mythical Leica digital M that even if someday exists, I won't be able to pay 5-7K for it.
I wonder if you guys can give me your thoughts about the Epson camera... Right now I can find one new for 2000 dlls... is it worthy? I also saw a new Leica Digilux 2 for 1850 dlls... can the Leica compete in image quality with the Epson? what do you think? Does the Leica feels "analog enough"?
Thank you very much!
