First R-D1 Photos

I am having a lot of fun with the R-D1. So far, I have only used the 35mm Summicron ASPH on it, as a normal lens.



It's lowlight performance has been excellent - rangefinder handholdability and ease of focusing plus good performance at high iso. This shot was taken at iso 800, f/2 and 1/30. I like the results. Film-like, for lack of a better word. It does not scream digital.


Plus I get to play around and get images that I never would have gotten with film (duh, since I shoot black and white film 99% of the time).
