I've just made a rash purchase on the spur of the moment and am completely in love with my camera. I planned to buy a Leica M8 Rangefinder, but there isn't a Leica Dealer around these parts... there's one but he's always way over book price... anyway I found something else, the Epson R-D1 Digital Rangefinder. Its awesome. Its a purely mechanical camera with a crank leg and leaf shutters, and it holds Leica M lenses and its a fully fledged Rangefinder, but it has a digital back, so to speak... it doesn;t have a detachable back I should clarify, but to all intents and purposes the digital aspect of the camera is all at the back and leaves all the rest to traditional mechanics. Super fast lens, ultra fast shutter response thanks to there being no digital shutter lag, manual on-the-lens focussing and aperture... ITS A SEXY CAMERA. Also it has firmware upgrades and the chip from the M8 in it so its 12mb not the original 6mb of the R-D1. I really can't stop taking pictures with it. I'm completely blown away by the quality. I just wet my trousers.
