Hi Everyone,
I just got my R-D1 (and have christened it Paarth
)from RFFer Kevin and took it to the streets of NY. I did shoot a couple of frames but I quickly visited Photovillage and Photohabitat to treat it with a Red TA soft release (LHSA model), a Domke F5XB and a Newswear small pouch. My entire kit consisting of the Leica M2 (Maya ), Paarth, 40 Summicron, 90 Elmar, Industar 61, 5 Epson batteries and SD cards was ensconced in the Domke with space to spare of 2 more lenses (15 Heliar and 28 Ultron hopefully). The TA softrelease and the Domke totally altered the shooting experience. It was almost second nature to whip the camera out, take a stealthy shot and then re-holster it. I am a relative novice to the RF world. I have been street shooting with a Canon 30D before this. The RF and R-D1 experience is beyond parallel. The TA softrelease allowed me to take shots actually at 1/15th of a sec!!
You can see some snaps from the shoot at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kprashant/sets/72157609759277416/
Here are some photos from that shoot that I love the most. I have edited them as Jpegs..I am yet to understand the the ERF file synthesis and the Epson PhotoRAW workflow.
Please do opine..
Regards,
Prashant Kumar.

Well-known
Nice shots! I just ordered the TA softrelease from popflash. I can't wait to get it.

I like pictures
The background of your 2nd to the last shot reminds me of Markus Hartel's most recent photos. You should check it out to see how he did his... would be a good/interesting comparison.
How I would love to shoot NYC. good stuff
