In this video I give you a mini-review on the Epson R-D1S, the world's first digital rangefinder camera. Released in 2004, the Epson R-D1 was built and operated like a film camera down to the manual shutter winder!!! It packed a whopping 6.1 Mpx CCD sensor and an M-Mount for mounting most Leica M lenses!

Picked up a great copy in original packing. Great condition. Love this camera and the shooting experience.
Excellent, it's really a fun analog-like shooting experience and the files look great!
Great review, Adam. I have enjoyed seeing your images from the Epson on your IG and appreciate hearing your thoughts after using one a while.
Thanks Scott! That little camera is just a lot of fun and more people should know about it!
I'm so glad to see you Man
Thanks man!
Gorgeous camera
6.1 mp ccd sensors can create magic.
Hey dude!!
Great to see you here!!!Always good to see you!! You going to start up"320" again?!!
Thanks dude! We've been tossing the idea about doing more ISO320 episodes. CHeers!
@@AdamLernerPhoto I miss the crap out of those episodes!!!
Don't toss.... just do.... I'll be here!!
Just baught an Rd1 X for 1400 so consuming all the content that is available hahaha. Surprisingly great video! You definitely deserve more views.
Thank you and enjoy the RD1X!
Where'd you find a 1x for only $1400?
@@WasatchBDC Ricardo in Switzerland. It’s like Craigslist and you can bid.
@@WasatchBDC I think it was on one of the used gear forums. Was a lucky find at the time for sure considering it was nearly mint with the box and bits.
surprised heavier than M8, feels much lighter due to better grip
I've shot both. The M8 sensor is slightly larger and has the feel of the Leica. The R-1DS rangefinder is 1:1 so it's a much more enjoyable frame.
The apsc m10D
Ah wow. I've wanted this since 2007-ish.
Question though, so how do the framelines work?
So you put a 35 and it's basically a 50(ish). So you set your frame lines to 50? or to 35?
you set the focal length with the switch and the framelines adjust accordingly. a 35mm will get you a 53mm equivalent. the viewfinder is 1:1 so it's huge and bright. these are fun cameras, but are super quirky
A very nice and pretty camera I always want to get my hands on, but it is quite expensive even today, btw does it have parallax correction, not all RF has it and is rarely mentioned in the review.
The Viewfinder on this camera works exactly like any Leica M body with the special advantage of it being 1:1 magnification. Expensive is a relative term but they have held their value quite well for such a niche camera.
just picked one of these up, video was very helpful. Only question is when looking through the viewfinder I dont see the ghost image to line up focus. Any suggestions to fix this?
It sounds to me like you're inadvertently covering up the rangefinder window. Look on the front of the camera body toward the top, there is a tiny rectangular window. That's is where the light comes into the rangefinder and if you cover it with your hand, you will not see anything. Also, for the meter to work, you will need to advance the shutter lever.
@AdamLernerPhoto so the box is there but when turning the lens nothing happens. Any suggestions. The meter does work
6MP is enough to print photos sized 60x90cm.
100%
I want one, but I might have to convert it with my fd lenses. I’m not dropping thousands for a leica lens.
Voigtlander make some excellent affordable M lenses. Or even cheaper there’s TTArtisans
Question:
Can Adobe's DNGconverter work with Epson's rawFiles?
I had no issues using the RAW Epson files in Lightroom and Photoshop.
@@AdamLernerPhoto Thank you, AdamL
1500 to 1800 dollars for 2004 camera
With 6.1 megapixels…
If you guys held one and took a few shots it would make way more sense.
Love the design but I can't justify the price. Same sensor as the Nikon D100 I think which goes for $100 bucks.
It's an incredibly unique camera that uses M mount lenses which and has a 1:1 viewfinder making the shooting experience incredible. Sure you can get a D100 but will probably hate it.
@@AdamLernerPhoto I agree, the shooting experience on a Rd1s must be amazing. But budget wise it is hard to justify the close to $2k asking price unfortunately. Perhaps I will get lucky and find one selling for cheap at a thrift store someday ;) ps: I have 2 D200 shih I really like. But yeap... DSLR style shooting, not rangefinder!
I have one epson rd, it is alot more fun than leica m.
it’s very cool but not £1-2k cool •_•
you can find them under $1k
Unless you got play money! Also less expensive still and cooler than an M10 D
@@AdamLernerPhoto where can you find them for under 1k? :0
@@EtzelXX You have to look around and be ready to buy. facebook groups, ebay etc
