Yes, Mr Cottrell has gotten to me, and sooner than eventually. I've only had the RD-1 for a short time, but I love it so much, I fell asleep with it last night. It came up quite "cheaply" at KEH so I couldn't resist. The 1:1 finder is a revelation. Shooting with both eyes open is a totally different experience to looking through a SLR finder. And the quiet little "snick" of the shutter is so classy. Only have two lenses at the moment. The Voigt 35/1.2 which is superb, but bulky, although I guess no more bulky than your average SLR prime, and a Type 2 Leitz 90/2 which isn't all that suitable for the RD-1. No 90mm framelines, and the RF baseline doesn't seem to let me focus reliably, or that might just be me. Might need to get the Voigt 40/1.4 as a walk around lens. I like the R2M as well. But hassle of scanning, and the occasional shutter jam (which I know how to fix and avoid now) means I'll probably use it a lot less. No worthy RD-1 pics to post yet.
