I used a Leica when i first started taking photos as a hobby and loved it when i saw the R-D1 i wanted one when i retire as it looks like a real camera. Never used a SLR and never wanted one since retiring i have been given a Leica D-Lux 4 although smaller it remind me of my old camera and its not only a point and shoot it can also be fully manual. I have just sent away for a viewfinder and i am enjoying this camera so much i think i will keep on using it. The result are very good and any failings can be corrected using Paintshop Pro. So for the time being i will be saving my money i have been offered 3 cameras buy the way only one was priced and he wanted £900 inc a lens and that is on

But i think i could have got one for £850 with lens so perhaps in the future but not right now. Was also surprised doing my research in the R-D1 how many problems the camera had.
I thank everyone for their help and wish you all well and yes i still yearn for a R-D1 but cant justify £850 i retired on UK pension credit so on a very small income, my camera was brought by family the viewfinder will cost me £200.
All the best and bye
