I had the RD1s for a short period. I really thought rangefinder photography was going to be where I wanted to go with my personal work. I invested in an R2a, RD1s, 50/1.1, 35/2.5 and 28/1.9 (I sold the 28 and pretty much permanently attached the 35 to the RD1s and the 50 to the R2a).
Turns out, I just couldn't get the hang of it. I had a hard time focusing and shooting. I guess using SLR's my whole life (I'm only 27, but still...) spoiled me a little or something.
BUT in the short time that I did have the RD1s, I really fell in love with the images. They're much different than any other camera I've shot with. I loved them and wanted to love the camera and the process, but in the end, I turned back to my SLRs for comfort. I do still use RF point and shoot cameras (Fuji Klasse is my favorite camera ever). Does that count?
Enough rambling. Here are a couple of images I shot while the RD1s was in my possession. Looking back at these, I think I should have given it another shot (no pun intended).

V nice Matthew. Nice B+W tonality, was that using PhotoRAW by Epson?
Here are a few of mine from the other day. STill amazed at the detail this camera picks up, especially in skin.

Thank you! These were all processed in Lightroom 3 actually. I never go used to PhotoRAW by Epson because I have my workflow and habits tied up in Lightroom, I guess.
Great images from you as well! I especially love the first image of the woman with the wine glass. Tons of detail and the lighting is superb! Well done. 🙂

Bye, bye. I'm going to miss contributing to this beautiful thread. The R-D1 will be finding a new home very soon, on the west coast of the USA no less. Good luck to they who will be taking custody of this lovely camera.

Nope, nowhere near, sad to say 🙁 I've just the one proper RF now, a fixed lens Royal 35-M. I'm going through a TLR phase at the moment, I'll roll with it for as longs as its fun. But if someone were to donate an M9 to me, I'd promise to use it 😀
