[Leica] that Epson R-D1 again

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard)]

First of all, lets all admit it, the M8 is over priced, the Epson R-D1 was 
over priced. There.

Having said that, as one of the earliest users of the R-D1, I have put in 
~15000 pics on it. This is while shooting ~100 rolls of B&W each year. I 
have just sent it in to DAG for RF adjustment as both the vertical and 
horizontal have gone out of whack.

Do I regret the decision? Nope. Without it, I may not have gotten some of 
those images. Will I be buying the M8 or its descendent? You bet, as soon 
as I can find solution to the 5000 problem$. Why? Smaller size, higher MP, 
softer shutter sound. etc.

Why? Because I have 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 75/1.4, and 90/2 and a couple other 
sundry lenses, that for some reasons, will not mount on Nikon, Canon, 
Olympus etc.
