New R-D1s

[M4streetshooter]

My R-D1s arrived today (Sunday). I got it from Ebay, auction price with a 35 f2 Biogon for $3100.00. Matsuiya Store came through with great shipping. It left Japan on Friday and arrived today...sooo

took her out and made a few images...nice camera...kinda like my Leica's but different enuff to make me work alittle to get comfortable....
the viewfinder is great...like my old M3 in a way..... the finder lines are bright, rangefinder is small enuff to be unobtrusive....it'll be fun for the next week to give it a work out....

only glitch so far is getting the images out to the Mac...for some reason the card reader ain't workin'...so I ordered a new one....shame there's no USB on the camera....

I sold all my Canon stuff (5D ect) and settled on this baby...Ive been readin here for along time and maybe now I'll start posting too....

later....don

Congratulations on the new camera. I got an R-D1 about a month ago and its been great.

Have a MAC myself and use a card reader, no problems, so it must be your card reader. I don't find the absence of a built-in USB on the camera a major or even a minor problem. Maybe it would be more convenient to have one, but its just one of those things with the R-D1 and otherwise the camera has been fine.

Have a great time with the new camera!

Congrats

Don,

congratulations! I hope yours will work out as do so many others.

Got mine one week ago and it is amazing.
I also use a OSX and have no issues with it. Pretty much use Sean Reid's workflow, including the JFI B&W color syncs that works great!

Have a lot of fun with it,
Andreas
