Epson RD-1 / RD-1s / RD-1x / RD-1gx

[raytoei]

i am quite excited.(keeping fingers crossed, i get it before Monday)..neber been excited over a digital camera before...

i just realised 2 things:

a. The seller is usa based, the battery charger won't
work in Singapore 240 condition. I could buy a
110->240 converter but a bit hard to lug around while travelling.

b. the battery fits into many cameras.

So where can i buy a battery charger in Singapore for the Epson R-D1 ?

Bro, Sim Lim Tower basement shop has a shop selling rechargable batteries, you can get oem ones from there. Can't miss it just after the stairs.

I will be in Tokyo early April, this will be the 1 camera that I will b looking out for!

Logically, all the RD1 came from Japan, so as long its a full set with accessories i guess it doesn't matter its a USA seller... there should be a cord with the power adaptor and another cord for the charging wall socket if i recall correctly!

Anyway, looking forward to your RD1 pics bro!

Brudders,

thanks. my rd-1 arrived today.

i have one quick question: when i take a couple of pix, then put the Transcend 2GB SD card into the notebook computer, it comes up with an error that it can't read and asks if i want to format it (of coss i say no).

Clues:

* the 2gb card came with the camera, i could view the pix in the 2gb card.
* in the pc, can't read, although my other M body sd card reads with no problem on my PC.

thanks

Stock up more 2 GB cards!! Unfortunately it's not easy to get a good write speed with the 2GB cards.

 

[newghost]

Or get the rd1X !!! :thumbsup:

Try erasing the sd card with outing formatting... It happen to me few time also

I would say its the different signature the sensor would produce.. each has it advantages. I usually shoot a lot low light shot, day thru night... which m8 is quite tough to manage iso 640 and lower. this made me re-vists my old rd1 pic and the lovely iso1600 shorts it can produce ...

I usually toggle about a few bodies and felt that m8 deserve a better owner than me.
lastly i love analogue stuff.. love the seiko made indicator the way it power up and the needle movement ...

Hey ladies and gents,

I'm currently living in Osaka, Japan, and feel I've become a bit of an expert on sourcing these cameras here.

This is a quick update to all those searching for the delightful little Epsons.

Currently, average prices are as such:

R-d1 - 85,000 to 95,000 yen.

R-d1s - 100,000 to 120,000 yen.

R-d1x - 120,000 to 130,000 yen.


I'm becoming a full-time student next month, so I don't have too much time to go searching for camera bodies. But if those looking for Epsons are happy to pay a 10-15% hassle fee, maybe I could help you out in purchasing one of these babies.


I hope this update is helpful. Thanks guys.

Hi all R-D1 owners, I owned a R-D1x for a while and I have been using the M-Hex50 on the R-D1. Only yesterday I noticed that the focus patch "moves" from top-left to centre as I focus from near to infinity. I have a similar situation as this thread in the RFF Can someone have a look at his RD-1 framelines/focuspoint. (pic attached) - Rangefinderforum.com

except that mine when set at infinity mark the patches are aligned well and at the centre of the framelines. so, when u start to focus from near the patch is at the top left; as u focus further it moves towards the centre. is this normal?

It is the same when I used the M-Hex35.

any comments?

Just to share. Yesterday tried out R-D1xg and M8 at Shinjuku and totally fall in love with it. Reserved R-d1xg and gonna get it by today after I trade off the E-M5. I have both 5DMkII and OD E-M5. Compare to DSLR, the feeling of rangefinder is just difference. Now I understand why E-M5 and Xpro1 not exactly the replacement for RF.
P.s : Btw I stay in Tokyo, if anyone wanna get new battery EPALB1, I may be able to help. Cheerz
