First picture taken with a RangeFinder...ever

[peepete77]

First pictures I have taken, with a 35mm Hexanon lens, and it is very intriguing, but very difficult to focus, I think I will need a LOT of focus-training, and that BOKEH seems far, far away for me at the moment... I will need practise.
For what it's worth, here is my very first pictures taken with the Epson RD1-s (I don't have the manual, so I will have to try and fail), with the tiny 35/2 Konica UC Hexanon....

I am ready for slaugther..hehe, but really, helpful hints and tips are much appreciated too....

Thanks guys! BTW: No processing, just straight out of camera.
First one is called "Autumn leaves" and the other is just a flower pot

Rome was not built in a day.
Range was not found in a shot.

Helen is right. My friend bought a Mamiya 7II after his SL66 was stolen. He had never used a RF. It was almost a W.C. Fields skit when I would go out with him. Don't worry you will get it.

You've definitely got a really nice lens to start off with -- arguably one of the best two or three 35mm lenses ever made!

Wow, Thanks everybody! I really appreciate it and am very inspired! I have fallen in love with my Epson and my Hexanon! Hope I can get the best out of them in time... Thanks again!

What are the other one or two?
