Who sells the Epson RD-1s ??

From what I read Epson doesn't plan to import it. I also read that the "s" is nothing but a firmware upgrade that can be applied to an RD1, though I don't know if that's true. If it is, I would expect to see some RD1 activity on the 'bay over the next few months. A lot of people who bought them are in line for an M8.

Needless perhaps but not pointless. The RD1 was based on the Cosina platform also used for the R2A/R3A, which did not have a motorized film wind/shutter armer. Fitting one would have required a more extensive redesign of the workings and perhaps a more capacitious battery, and would no doubt whatever additional sound it made would've been a bone of contention to some users. Mr. Kobayashi is an innovator in certain respects but a traditionalist in others.
