Hi to you all!!
I am considering the purchase of the RD-1(even after all the horror stories of misalignements, frameline accuracy, hot pixels, epson crappy post-sale service, etc...). Truth is, it looks like a fantastic machine and the level of satisfaction of the owners seems to be quite high.
I allready own some leica glass, 50 Cron(latest), 35 Cron ASPH and 90 Elmarit. I never need to go any wider than 35, so i dont consider the purchase of the 28 Cron a great thing as I would be using it only for the RD-1, giving me a field of view(around 40 if I´m not wrong) that im not very fond of. I am thinking about buying the Tri-Elmar. great light travel kit , one camera and one lense (or maybe throw in the 90 elmarit too) for when you dont really need fast lenses, plus would allow me to use the 28 frame lines in the camera from time to time (and maybe get used to a strange-to-me-focal-length). It seems as the perfect travel lense for this camera. Does anybody have any experience with this camera-lense combination. Any known issues?
Thanks in advance for your kind responses.
Good light 2 u all...
