I updated my web gallery with a few more samples from the R-D1.
A few late samples are here:
"boy and mother"
"driver"
"ghost rider"
I use this camera now as my sole photographic tool.
When I got it used from a store in Shanghai, it looked like new. The edges were cosmetically painted with black paint, which has worn down by now.
I run in with a good set of batteries now, that hold for 150 frames a charge for 6 EUR each ;-)
I have found my dream lens during my first weeks with a digital rangefinder and feel the first time after finding a photographic tool a satisfying happiness, not followed by the desire of wanting more stuff to add to my bag, but rather selling more unused things ;-)
I have acuired green loctite and brushed up my camera repair skills to finally adjust the R-D1 rangefinder to spot on focus with my 50 Lux and the 35 ASPH. Somehow, I got lucky and the more or less unused 90 Elmarit fits too.
This all is a strange and interesting development, I could not foresee, when I wanted "to try rangefinder" and bought my first Leica M some months back.
I want to thank Steve from the DPR Leica forum especially, who told his story about switching from a D700 to Leica rangefinders, which was inspiring, when I asked him for this more than a year ago. He got me hovering over this Leica forum ever since.
But no, my Nikons hold still a valid place and some specific cameras will not go as of todays planning ;-)
If you like, have a look at my website. I show in my blog "the waiting dog series" and update it now also more regularly.
