Yesterday, I went to pick up some film from the lab. I was looking fro an alternative 15mm viewfinder, to exchange my Voigtlander fisheye 😉 viewfinder.
I prepared, even, to buy a Frankenfinder for the M6, when I syumbled over EPSON RD1 serial no. 001321.
She pulled my nose on the glass window, made me hold her out of curiosity and forced me to by her on the spot 😱.
I guess, I am now officially looking for all tips and trick, to run this little cam successfully. The three included non EPSON batteries seem to be a main issue (very quickly depleted). I am running circle charging for now and hope, battery life gets me to 200 − 300 shots with 3 batteries until I found new ones her in Shanghai.
I was wondering too, what takes the camera so long, to format a 2GB Sandisk SD (non SDHC) card - I stopped the 1st attempt after one freshly loaded battery has been fully depleted and the "Format Card" was still flashing 😕.
Anyway - the camera is running, everything seems to work fine (strange is, that different JPGs show something like white pixels on the same location, where the corresponding RAW files are clean in this area).
Please wish me luck with this camera - I plan to keep it until a M9 comes up (might take some time).
