I have limited use for it, but it's small enough and there as a last resort light wise

I use eyepiece correction lenses for Nikon FA, FM2 and FE2 bodies. Can be found at B&H ref. # NIDP1FM2....My first question, therefore, has to do with finding a source for a corrective eyepiece that WILL fit the Epson. Any suggestions?...
I don't know the Canon but i've had back focus issues with my Rokkor 40/2. I prefer the Summicron-C 40/2 for this very reason but both are very close IQ wise and other users have no problem with their Rokkor....The next was a 40/2 Minolta Rokkor and finally I was able to find another Canon LTM — a 28/2.8...I think it’s a good little package to get on with but want to know what you might suggest that I keep my eyes open for?...
I don't know this Canon either but it will be difficult to focus at full aperture due to the short base length of the rangefinder....Sean's case for a high res/low contrast combination on the RD1 makes sense to me. Both the 35/1.7 Ultron and the 28/1.9 Ultron fit this prescription as might the Canon 50/1.2....
Don't know if i may call this 'workflow' but i own a G5 as well and for B&W and color i use exclusively the Epson raw converter with Photoshop Elements 2 and a couple plug-ins like iCorrect for white balance and Fred Miranda's Nikon CS Pro for sharpening....What I have is a G5 Mac desktop running OS 10.4. Photoshop CS2 and Lightroom. My intention is to work primarily in black and white with the RD1, and I’d like a consistently B & W workflow, but I do respond to color and won't rule that out entirely....
This lens is very sharp and very contrasty at all apertures....Does anyone have experience with the new Elmarit 28 ASPH on the R-D1 and have any comments about vignetting? For the record I have these lenses already: 21/4P, 28 Ultron, 50 Nokton, 75 Heliar.
I only use the Epson raw converter and plug-in so i don't know sorry....I always shoot RAW, but don't like the Epson program, so I use CO4 instead, usually correcting vignetting in PS3. I guess there would be some advantages in correcting vignetting before the RAW conversion?
Yes it increases the power consumption of the camera but in turn you'll gain a RAW buffer increased from 2 to 3 frames, a new RAW+JPEG option, a hot pixel correction, a better auto white balance, some noise improvement at 1600 iso and the ability to use SD cards up to 2 GB. Worth the move IMHO....are there any downsides to upgrading my RD1 to the RD1s firmware...
Thanks,You wrote, "1. Shoot RAW + JPEG pics and choose keepers by reviewing jpegs in the first place."
Are you doing this in the camera before downloading to the desktop? I had read that it was best not to delete files in camera because it has sometimes led to losing other files that you'd wanted to keep, but perhaps you've not found this to be a problem with the RD1?)
No no never. I always download all the files to an hard disk in the first place and format the card in the camera afterwards.Thanks, LCT. Question: Are you doing this in the camera before downloading to the desktop?..
