Especially love the red. It's more to orange rather than eye-piercing purple I often saw. Must be the place I usually hang out with…

yes, the first and the last one. It was my first trip with the R-D1 and what could i say? Finnaly again a rangefinder! Missed it so much since the M8. Even cooler and easier for me with the 1:1 finder, but difficult on the 28mm mode, as i wear glasses.

yes thats actually quite an interesting statement about the 1:1 making it 'easier' than the m8. i have an rd1 and am considering an m8, so could you expand on that notion?
thanks

Ah ok. As i can open both eyes when focusing, it's easier to see the enviroment. I think, an important point for streetphotography.

thank you! i was thinking that the larger view also makes it easier and more accurate to focus--do you find that as well? accurate manual focusing is always my biggest problem.
further i imagined having only one set of framelines vs 2 on the m8 proves much less distracting...

The 1:1 viewfinder is easy to use both eyes open for pretty much everyone, other magnifications depend on the person. It is however quite limiting in terms of angle of view that you can use comfortably (not just seeing through the viewfinder but using on the camera). Again, for most people.
If there ever were a new Epson/digital Bessa introduced, I hope they would offer several magnifications like in the current Bessa line.

For what it's worth, the friend who sold me the R-D1 had also tried an M8. He told me that he preferred the R-D1 over the M8 (he replaced the M8 with the R-D1). He pulled the trigger on an M9 so he sold me the R-D1.

One of the two local Japanese festival in town.
Like this one better because it's held in the izakaya district (though gossips said that the district is an "island")

I tried some long exposures with my RD-1. Some with a cheap filter and some after it got dark... I developed them in LR and cleaned up some extraneous blotches and stuff with perfect enhance. Interesting photos but pretty terrible noise-wise...

For comparison purposes here is a shot with the DP2 Merrill processed in LR5. In all fairness, I shot this with more light earlier in the evening.
