I'd buy an RD-1 and a micro four thirds

It's a lovely little camera BUT it's no longer made, and the manufacturer doesn't even make cameras any more.
Perspective does not change when shooting from the same point.

No some buy for image quality......... I bought one because of the files just as I have a D2 ,a DP1s the sensors are different ............... a ricoh GR1 film camera etc. Image quality is about the file produced and is not specific to detail, but other factors e.g. colour rendition, differences in dynamic range etcYou can say what you want about the image quality, but you're honestly not buying it for that, you're buying it so you don't have to buy an M8 or god forbid an M9
Yes it does of course but as an FF (5D) and APS (R-D1, Nikons) user, a 28 on APS gives me the same feelings as a 35 on FF cameras. There are compromises to accept for sure but it is a matter of habit. Now give me an M10 with a 1:1 VF and my good old Epsons will take some dust i guess....My point is only that I want my 35mm lens to not only cover the 35mm view, but also have the same signature of 35mm (aka, the same old distortion without an increase due to the wider lens being 'converted' to 35mm for the crop factor). Does this make more sense now?
Looks like we'll have to disagree here, Roger. DoF changes, feeling of compression may change as well but perspective remains the same when shooting from the same point. See http://tinyurl.com/34g6xh6
One question remains though, where to get one?
The days of three control cameras (focus, shutter speed, aperture) are long gone.
