Just bought an Epson R-D1...

[humanized_form]

BTW, I had to send back the R-D1 that I bought... it was a smoker unit, and the rubber REEKED of stale cigarette smoke. I wouldn't have minded a little, but everything from the strap, and rubber smell made me dizzy and almost threw up... I was nauseous for 2 days even after I returned it just by thinking about the smell.

>_<

so... i'm in the market for another one... *sigh*

i just got my refund from the return of an online auction purchase of a smoke smelling R-D1. the seller was GREAT to deal with and totally understood the return. no problems.

anyway fyi/heads up: if anyone happens to see an international online auction seller with a new listing for a "mint" R-D1, maybe go back and peruse the sellers recent auctions to see if the same serial number camera has been sold a few times in the recent past. that could be old smokey.

k.

Enjoy the R-D1... I love mine so much I "sexified" it with red leatherette 😉 my choice lenses are the CV 28 1.9, 40 1.4, 1957 russian industar 55 2.8, J8 50mm, j12 35mm, and a leica elmar-m 90mm F4. Hopefully though, I plan on getting a 35 1.2 and a cv 12mm...

sorry this turned into a show and tell 😀 I really love the look of the images, so lush and people always ask me what kind of "old" camera is that.. lol

Really nice. How did you do this?
