The obvious choice is the Voigtlander 28mm f3.5, which is a great lens, especially with the cropped sensor of the Epson. Small, well-made and nice optics.

I own only the one 28mm, and its the CV 28/1.9 Ultron. Nice lens.

Industar 69 works with LTM adapter but needs a modification to focus correctly. Mine cost 20$. Note that it is not coupled to the rangefinder.

There is the FSU ORION 28mm f:6.0, which I bought for $75. It's a derivation of the Zeiss Tessar, a 4-element design. If you can live with the speed, it's very satisfactory.

It should be okay for me for the speed of Orion, but it costs over US150.

Sorry, I don't know, mine was already modified by the Ebay seller for the R-D1 and M8.

Go with the CV 28/3.5 -- it's great on the R-D1, and it's a lens that you'll want to keep using even if your budget increases in the future.

CV 28/3.5 should be a good choice but it is really out of my budget quite a lot.

From what I understand, the Industar 69 is a half frame lens and have a different back distance to the film plane. In order to make it focus correctly for a R-D1 you have to file off about 1mm of the mount. Also because it's half frame, it'll vignet.
Some details:

Does the Orion 28mm/f6 coupling R-D1?
