R-d1s

I'm new to RF. Got a used but in great condition RD1S last week together with Summicron 35mm (4th version). I'm loving it.:)
 
Picked up an older R-D1 off eBay last week for $1,600 - arrived from Singapore today. The battery was even charged. Happy happy happy, even if the rangefinder patch is a bit migratory (will fix that tomorrow). Here's a couple of boring test shots:

Hexanon 50mm/f2, ISO200, 1/1000th @ f2

_EPS4340-vi.jpg

40mm/f2 Summicron-C, ISO200, 1/17th @ f5.6

I am going to have SO MUCH FUN!

I bought a new RD-1s in Tokyo last April and have loved it ever since. No problems at all. I was going to sell it when the M8 came out, but changed my mind, as it is a nice change-up to the M8. There are lenses that I prefer on the RD-1s to the M8, such as the 50mm 'cron, 40mm 'cron and 35mm 'cron v4. On the M8 I like the 24mm/2.8 ASPH, 28mm/2.8 ASPH and 28mm/2.8 Zeiss, and especially the 90mm Elmarit. I'm still waiting for my 50mm/1,4 ASPH.

Mine is in route and will have it on Monday. Just ordered an Ultron from the great folks at Photovillage to accompany my 40mm Nokton. Really looking forward to it and hopefully will post a few images from it next Tuesday.
 
After 11 days of witning in front of the post office IT is alt last at home. It is just as my Bessa R2 in matter of looks. I do hope that imagewise is more than I can see on the LCD. Now I only got the 35 Color Skopar PII MC but waiting for some goddies from cameraquest.com. Keep you posted on the gallery.
 
Mine arrived yesterday, YAY! Can't wait to start, batteries are charged, SD card is in, strap is on, 35 2.5 is in place and the date is set. I am ready, look out world here I come!

These all look like old posts, including mine. Gotta' wonder how this thread keeps coming back up to the top.

Got mine a couple of weeks ago along with a 15mm.
What I'm enjoying more than anything else is the sense of connection to the subject matter - more than with any other digital camera - and engaging my brain once again.
Not to mention dusting off the Leica lenses and using them once more.
This forum is a great place of sharing - many thanks for all the input.

Honestly, that's one of the best reasons to shoot RF.

that 15 is a real gem man! it has become my fave and is more often than not on the front of my r-d1s or m8. it really forces you to be right in the thick of the action for street stuff!
i love the rythym of shooting with the r-d1... i flip that screen around and jsut spend the day shooting, composing, meeting people.
 
yes, exactly. I have my R-D1 a couple of days, and, having tested the M8 too, I like both. But with R-D1 I love having no monitor annoyingly scratching at my jacket zip or knob, and I love the oldfashioned lever taking slowly pictures as with M6, not that gun-like multiphotoshooting, no look at the monitor a whole photo session ...

Cheers,
