Re: [Digital BW] b&w infrared images from Epson R-D1 digital rangefinder

2006-03-27 by Sam McCandless

Thanks, David, for posting about your rangefinder photography. Pretty 
good hand-holding, I'd say.

If it's convenient, I'd like to see more about your and others' 
rangefinder experiences. Mine stopped long ago when an old girlfriend 
lost my Olympus 35RC. Which I mourned until she recently found it in 
the bottom of her sock drawer. I just had CameraQuest service it and 
hope to find a lens cap for it.

But my current interest is in wide-angle rangefinder work 
specifically. Recently I've been using Canon gear and am happy enough 
with it at the long end. But I am thinking about trying to improve on 
their wide-angle lenses by using the new Zeiss 21mm. Probably on a 
Bessa as an economy, not because I'm allergic to digital cameras in 
general or the Epson in particular.
