VC Nokton 40mm, I think I am in love with this lens (and with the subject too I am afraid 😛).
Instead, I admittedly have to say that, despite it's fame (on a "lens family basis" at least), I am not convinced about the 25mm Zeiss biogon I have... and I think I am going to sell it! (too "clinical" and "cold", imho).

I agree with your sentiment about the Zeiss lens. All the modern Zeiss lenses I've tried all seem to be striving for max. sharpness, leaving 'character' behind.

Saturday valley hike with 3.5cm Elmar mounted on the R-D1, a little bit of old meets new.
Wow, the texture there is amazing .....

Bucharest, July 2011. With the Zeiss Biogon 2.8/28.
There is just something special about the pairing of the RD1 and the Biogon 28/2.8 ... the tonality of color in particular, and the overall lighting.

Bought, loved and sold two and regretted each time so when I got my third camera, I vowed not to sell ever. That said, it's showing its age and amount of use. The screen won't reliably flip so I leave it out, that's about the only actual problem but I got to thinking and decided to get an x, as they are a bit newer. Now I have two and won't sell either of them ever.

Looking at Wikipedia, they mention that the RD 1 uses the same sensor at the Pentax *ist D and Nikon 100. I once owned a Nikon D 100 (tried digital, didn't like it, went back to film) and while nice, the B&W conversions looked nothing like the RD 1 shots. Even allowing for different lenses and processing, I wonder why the RD 1 does so much better w/ B&W? Firmware? Rangefinder lenses are usually a little sharper than those on an SLR, but it's not that. The photos just look more like traditional film, whereas the Nikon didn't.

I pretty much always shoot this camera @1600, and paired with vintage glass gives me that film look.

Thanks analoged. Two years ago, I bought the version III of the 4.5/15 Heliar which produces better quality pics on a digital body.
