while 40mm is the focal length of my choice it is equivalent to a 60mm on the R-D1. After i tried to shoot with a 15mm (equ. to 21-22mm) it's just so damn fun to shoot so i*m stuck with 15mm for now XD

the 2 lenses Ive used the most were the 12/5.6 Heliar and the 35/1.4 SC Nokton, having an equivalent of a 18/50 set. quite versatile and both lenses are tiny, which is great for travelling. it made me appreciate a 21/50 set for full frame. sometimes I used the 21/2.8 Biogon also to get a 32mm field of view. I sold my R-D1 last year but few weeks ago traded my X100 for a friend's R-D1s. took it for some shots with a v3 35mm Summicron and the 21/1.8 Ultron. the Ultron shots are fantastic, loved the results. and the lens balance the camera weight quite well, just like the 35/1.2 (even better, in fact).
Some with the Ultron:

With the Ultron I can get the same background melting as with the X100. no clean iso 3200/6400 here, but I can get away with 800/1600 just fine.

This thread made me miss my old R-D1. What a fun camera that was.
When I had mine I used the same lens kit that I would use for film RFs.

Leica 35mm Summicron ASPH (Why did I ever sell this lens? WHY?)
Konica 50mm f/2
There was just something about that R-D1. I miss it.

I still use the R-D1. Use the 35 summicron and 28 elmarit most followed by the 15 mm voigtlander. These times i use the same lenses also on a sony nex 5r but cannot quit with the epson.

I had been using the 28 Ultron for several years but lately I'm finding I like the 21 Color Skopar better.
