I played around with a RD1s in yodobashi (jp) and I were very impressed with its built and the way RF focused. I would like to buy one. After a bit of research, it seems Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 is a good starting lens, am I right?
I saw a switch (28-35-50mm) on the top plate of the RD1s, may I ask what'll happen if I attach the 40mm lens to it. I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions.

Welcome to RFF
I think that would be a great combination a few people on the forum use the 1.4 Nokton on thier RD1s.I have a slower 40mm Summicron and can confirm the 35mm framlines,in my opinion, fit the 40mm focal lenth better than my 35mm lens.

I got the 40 SC as my first lens. Lovely general purpose lens 
Just switch the frame lines to 35mm to use it, best approximation. Remember that rangefinder framelines are just an indication - about 85% coverage officially according to Epson. Unlike a decent DSLR what you see is not exactly what you get, and that's true of any rangefinder...
