Gridstone, Cemetary road and Eastpoint light are my favourites. I too, have been contempating about this camera. What stops me is the 1,5x factor, meaing that a 21mm lens will become a 30mm lens, the 35mm will become a 50mm, etc etc. I have been using Nikon DSLR:s for a couple of years, and the wide angle is always a problem. My widest lens is the 17-55/2.8 zoom, that works like a 25-82mm zoom. For me, the Leica and RD-1 type of cameras are best for 21-28-35-50mm lens, and a 15mm lens would equal 22mm. But what is the finder like? Does it work like a DSLR, so that you don't need extra finders on top of the camera? Here are some more quick questions: -Can the SA21/3.4 be used on the R-D1? -Can the 15mm heliar be used with the adapter to Leica mount? Maybe there is a site with answers to these questions, I would be very grateful for a URL. Anyway, the R-D1 looks very interesting!
