Epson R-D1 field test

The Luminous Landscape website has a good field test of the new Epson R-D1 digital rangefinder camera. It’s an interesting piece of kit as it is the closest anyone seems to have come to a digital Leica M6 type camera, and it accepts Leica M-Series lenses. The review is generally very positive but you’ll need to lay down $3000 to get one…
UPDATE 15/12/04: Dan Chung has some observations on his real-world use of the R-D1 on his blog, including some front-focussing problems when using Leica M-series lenses.
