Not sure if where this post fits so...
Just thinking aloud here.
If you're looking for basically a small camera kit to use for traveling, carrying around along with a large format set up, fairly small, lightish, discreet, am not bothered about autofocus, and prefer to focus through the a viewfinder as opposed to a rear lcd...and all for a budget that rules out a used M8, M9 etc.
Current thinking would say a GF1 along with the 20mm and one other 40-50mm prime to give the 2 lens setup with focal lengths of approx 35/40 and 90.
...
but for only just a bit higher price how would the epson RD1 along with a couple of tiny voigtlander lenses fit the bill?
I shot with a bessa and 35mm and a bunch of tri-x during my honeymoon in Paris earlier this year. Loved the experience with the camera feeling right, go back spent about 3 days in the darkroom processing and printing, got about half the shots printed...and have not had a chance o get back in their since (1 hour drive, etc, etc)...hence looking for a digital small camera.
so...gf1 or r-d1...or is that an utterly ridiculous suggestion!
