Hi Luggers,
Given that the RD 1 has 28, 35 and 50 framelines one of the interesting 
combinations will be the Digital camera with a Tri Elmar. Of course you 
will have to manually switch the framelines as you change focal lengths on 
the lens but it will still be, I think, a great street combination. And the 
ability to dial in ISO 1600 when required will help compensate for the 
slowness of the Tri Elmar in dark situations. If the ISO 1600 setting is as 
noise free as it is in the Nikon D100's and D70's (same sensors, I believe) 
it will be quite usable in my opinion. Time to start saving my pennies!
Cheers
Howard.
