Republish permission provided by MPB.<\/strong><\/em>A couple of months ago, a rare marvel arrived at MPB\u2019s UK warehouse. If you didn\u2019t know any better, you\u2019d have thought a Sony A7S II would wipe the floor with a digital camera released way back in 2004. But this is the legendary Epson R-D1 rangefinder we\u2019re talking about. MPB resident photographer Ian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/ihoworth\">@ihoworth<\/a>\u00a0ventured out into Brighton \u2013 back in January \u2013 to put the two to the test.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over to you, Ian.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll admit, I actually knew very little about the Epson R-D1. I knew it was a rangefinder and I knew it was one of the first generation of digital cameras released that were a genuine alternative to film. That being said, after spending a few days with the Epson, I ended up learning quite a bit more about it other than what the spec sheet reads:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6.1 megapixels<\/li>\n<li>Maximum ISO: 1600<\/li>\n<li>12-bit CCD RAW sensor<\/li>\n<li>Shutter speed \u2013 bulb \u2013 1\/2000<\/li>\n<li>2.0 TFT LCD<\/li>\n<li>Leica M Mount<\/li>\n<li>Manual focus only<\/li>\n<li>1FPS shooting speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182637 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-1024x684.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-360x240.jpg 360w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC00161-1024x684.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>As we\u2019ve grown to learn from many legacy cameras, like our head-to-head of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpb.com\/blog\/article\/12411\">Nikon D700 and Canon EOS 5D Mk II<\/a>, specs aren\u2019t everything.

Well, it was a joy to look at and to hold in the hand. Admirers of well-made rangefinders, like Leica, Konica and Zeiss, will appreciate the solid construction of this beautiful camera.

Leica M3 users will be familiar with this wheel, used for winding your film. To the left of the hot shoe mount, we have the frameline selector. This allows you to manually compensate for 28mm, 35mm and 50mm fields of view within the viewfinder. Talking of viewfinders, it\u2019s very bright. Though it\u2019s maybe not as good as a Leica, it does everything you need to very well, with a nice and bright rangefinder patch allowing you to line up your edges for perfect focusing. It\u2019s worth mentioning that this camera is manual focus only. No autofocus wizardry here.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182639 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-1024x684.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-360x240.jpg 360w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00135-1024x684.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Immediately to the right of the hotshoe, you have by far my favourite dial. I mean, just look at it! Four hands give you measurements for white balance, battery life, RAW\/JPEG setting and remaining images on the outside bezel. To the right of that, you have the shutter speed and ISO dial. Fujifilm shooters will recognise this, it\u2019s all housed within the same dial. Lifting the dial gives you access to ISO, and rotating after pressing the release button gives you access to shutter speeds ranging from 1\/2000 to bulb.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re probably wondering why this digital camera has something that looks like a film advance lever. Well, it does have a function \u2013 it cocks the shutter, which has to be done every time you fire it. This does make the process very reminiscent of shooting film \u2013 a joy or a pain in the backside, depending on your standpoint. Suffice to say, this camera has no continuous shooting function. It\u2019s as fast as you are advancing the lever.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182640 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-1024x684.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-360x240.jpg 360w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00152-1024x684.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The rear LCD, as you might expect, is pretty basic. It pretty much just confirms you\u2019ve taken a photo. No bells and whistles, no fancy OLED displays. Saying that, I did find it better than many of the top flight LCDs of cameras from the bigger manufacturers of the day. I did find myself underexposing slightly to bring the highlights down a touch after reviewing my images, something I found I didn\u2019t need to do. There is quite a gulf between the image the LCD shows you and the image captured, in terms of dynamic range.<\/p>\n<p>The menu system is pretty fiddly, and it does remind us how far we\u2019ve come in terms of making complex menus easier to navigate with touchscreen and joysticks. Fortunately, this is a simpler system than what we are used to now, so once you\u2019re set up you should rarely have to spend too much time here.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182641 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-1024x684.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-360x240.jpg 360w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC00153-1024x684.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>One of the things that really surprised me about the Epson R-D1 was how much they got right, and how much has been taken from it since its design. Fujifilm comes to mind, with their X-Pro and X100 series, employing the ISO dial inside the shutter dial to make space up top. Whether or not this was copied from the Epson is up to debate, but you have to admire Epson for incorporating it more than a decade-and-a-half ago. The flippable screen is really the game changer. How many cameras have you owned that didn\u2019t have one and left you in dire need of one? Epson was churning these out from day one. I even like the fact that they included a full-frame to APS-C conversion chart if you flipped the LCD while shooting, both to remind you of the conversion but also to make the camera look aesthetically pleasing if you chose to shoot in a more analogue way. Fujifilm X-Pro3 anyone?<\/p>\n<p>This camera, being as quirky as it is, didn\u2019t really need a comparison. Aside from a Leica M8, there isn\u2019t anything really like it. Enter our trusty Sony A7SII \u2013 MPB\u2019s own beast of burden, which serves usually as our B camera when shooting video or when mounted to a gimbal. The Sony\u2019s 12 megapixel sensor belies its image quality. From a resolution point of view, it might leave you a bit cold, but make no mistake, from an image quality perspective, this is one of the finest sensors ever made.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182654 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-1024x684.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-558x373.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sony-stuff-1-1024x684.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><figcaption><em>Shot with Sony A7S II<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182649 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-1024x681.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-558x371.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-360x240.jpg 360w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-558x371.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-stuff-1-2-1024x681.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><figcaption><em>Shot with Epson R-D1<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I did edit these photos somewhat.

At 400 ISO, it\u2019s just getting warmed up. Sure, the contrast increases the higher you go with the ISO, but it still renders very pleasing images with heaps of character. At golden hour, the camera really shone. And increasing the ISO from the base 200 up to 400 introduced just a little more texture to the image, giving it extra pop.

One thing is to convince anyone to shoot manual lenses in an autofocus age, but another is to then try to sell them a cocking digital shutter that has no continuous shooting. It\u2019s a hard sell. So, towards the end of the day and heading back to the office, I noticed one of Brighton\u2019s most spectacular displays \u2013 the murmurations between the two piers. Really a sight to behold around sundown, capturing this requires a good vantage point and ideally a fast shooting speed. These starlings move fast, creating beautiful shapes very quickly that need to be captured equally as quickly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182647 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-1024x681.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-558x371.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-558x371.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-14-1-1024x681.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><figcaption><em>Shot with Epson R-D1 at 200 ISO<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was shooting the starlings at their most impressive that I noticed one of the camera\u2019s quirks. Once the battery begins to drain, it affects the camera\u2019s start up time. Well, not starting up as such, but getting waking up from idle to take a shot. Although the battery was beyond the halfway point, it wasn\u2019t anywhere near dead yet. Replacing the battery was easy enough. However, they don\u2019t last very long, so carrying plenty and replacing often is key. I had six with me that day, and I ended up using four of them in about three-and-a-half hours.<\/p>\n<p>Once the dead battery was replaced for a fresh one, having to advance the lever was not slow. I did probably miss a fraction of a moment in being too slow in my winding, but I got there in the end. Everything just takes a little longer and requires a bit more patience, so long as you\u2019re okay with that, this camera will always reward you and make you feel like you\u2019ve made a photograph together \u2013 rather than let it do all the donkey work for you.<\/p>\n<p>So what kind of photographer is the Epson R-D1 for in 2020? Well, that\u2019s a tricky one. This is a genuinely awesome little camera, it natively accepts the-best-of-the-best when it comes to lenses \u2013 Leica M. While its sensor is no longer the most cutting-edge, they have an incredible vibe straight off the camera. And, make no mistake, those .ERF RAW files allow for plenty of editing to create a look should you want to. From a design perspective, it\u2019s not tough and purposeful looking like a modern DSLR, but it\u2019s much more subtle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182646 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-1024x681.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-558x371.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-558x371.jpg 558w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/resourcemagonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/epson-13-1-1-1024x681.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><figcaption><em>Shot with Epson R-D1 at 400 ISO<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From a usability point of view, putting it simply, it\u2019s\u00a0<em>fun<\/em>. Lots of fun. Its quirky advance lever and the beautiful Seiko-designed dials scream quality in a way that those who like well-engineered things will appreciate. Think of it as a beautiful item that you can ogle, hold and appreciate that can also provide you with beautiful photographs.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always chosen cameras for what they can do. To hell with what they look like, but it\u2019s really special when you can appreciate something for its design, forward thinking engineering and its beauty, as well as its performance as a camera. Could the Epson R-D1 find itself in my camera bag? If I was shooting mainly for web use, then it would be a wholehearted yes. But as it stands, I don\u2019t have room for it. I\u2019m not sure what niche it would cover that isn\u2019t covered by my existing cameras. The other issue is the resolution. It would be possible to print up to a decent size, an 8\u00d710 print wouldn\u2019t be an issue, and many might argue that even a bit bigger wouldn\u2019t. You just roll with the vibe that it provides. That aside, its quirks, short battery life, avance lever and slow shooting speed wouldn\u2019t be enough to put me off, if anything it aids the overall shooting experience for what is a wonderfully designed camera and very much a turning point in digital photography.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article and images by Ian Howorth.
