Hi Durr, try this site, http://www.richcutler.co.uk/r-d1/r-d1_01.htm

and also DAG, Don Goldberg. regards,

Thank you, Vivek, I will give it a shot. Much appreciated. regards,

I have been hearing and seeing on the forum how the M8 can shoot infra red. Is

there any way that the RD 1 can do that also. and if it can, could you please

outline how that is done. Thank you

You can start with http://www.richcutler.co.uk/r-d1/r-d1_01.htm

this is a site dedicated to the R D1. I found original epson batteries on the bay. Had bad luck with cheapies, so my advice is to spend a little extra and get the ones from epson.

I also have only had the best of experiences with Luigi and his very fine work. He is not only an artist, he is also a gentleman. Gary, it adds only a handful of seconds imho to take off a case to load film and to put it back on again. It protects your M6, I have one, and it feels really nice to use. I like the feel of the grip. regards, elijah

Exquisite!!

Thanks everyone. Just wanted to make sure that I did not miss something. Maybe one day, Leica will offer a firmware upgrade that will include this option. regards, elijah

Is there any way to turn off jpeg all together on the d lux 3? When it is set to

raw, it still records jpeg also, that to me, wastes space on the card. Raw is

all that I am interested in. Thanks, elijah

Having shot only film for many years, I now have a used R D1 and most recently a

D lux 3. So, the question is, what is your favorite noise program and why. And

also, how it maintains the original look of the shot. Thanks. And if it is a

lesser known program, can you mention where to get it? regards, to all.

Jerry, would you tell us the better choices? I just purchased a d lux 3, and have found the following.

First,I found the pics a bit on the soft side. However, with a little post production in ps. I found the pics to be very good with a little sharpening. I prefer this to over sharpening in camera. The color rendition is good, and the tonal range is very good. No, this is not a real super sharp camera. However, with a little post production, I find the images to be excellent. The noise issue is no worse than any other, unless you can inform us to the contrary as to what the better choices are. Hopefully from your own experience with the d lux 3 compared to other makes. Thanks for your reply.

Oooops, looks like I read the manual wrongly. I got it right this time. Thanks Rolf for your rapid reply. Much appreciated. regards, elijah

I just purchased a d lux 3 yesterday. The manual says that there are supposed to

be five screens to navigate through to set up the menu. Mine only has four, and

the fourth only has one item in it. Is there something missing in the software

on my camera? Or is the manual not accurate? I would think that there is

something missing, but the store that I bought it from is closed today, and so

is leica to call and find out. Please actually have one of these before

venturing an answer so that I know it is accurate and not a guess. thanks.

I agree with Bob. The T3 is a winner. M6 is great if she does not mind a heavier camera. I have both, and the T3 is with me a lot of the time because of its small size, and really remarkable photos that it takes.

I just purchased a mint R D1 for 1600. I thought it was fair price considering the shape it was in and how little it was used. That seems to be the price on ebay also.

Johnnycake, gorgeous shot!

Just bought a mint R D1 used. It came with the really fine epson battery. The

seller also included two batteries from powermart. Never heard of them before.

neither of them will charge all of the way. After charging, and I place them in

the camera, the charge indicator shows they only charged around 60% or so. They

last for about 25 shots depending on whether I use raw with jpeg, and if I use

the lcd.

Anyhow, is there a really good replacement battery for the R D1 that will work

as well as the supplied epson battery, or nearly as well. I would appreciate

your feedback and experience in this matter.

I went off shooting today indoors at a museum as it was raining out. The 35 cron

asph. was my lens.

When I have some shots, I will share them on line. Thanks, as always for any help.

regards, elijah

Thanks Andrew, much appreciated!

Thanks, I knew about the 3 framelines, but did not know if they were up all at once. Does anyone know about the dioptor lens if it fits like on the M bodies? thanks,

I am on the verge of buying a mint R D1 used. I have searched the site and also

the manuals from on line and cannot find the answers to these questions. Could

one of you R D1 users be kind enough to answer them for me. Thanks in advance.

First, can you use a leica diopter adjustment lens on the viewing port of the

rangefinder to adjust for not wearing glasses while focusing.

Next, are all three framelines up at once, and if not, then when using a wide

angle lens, such as a 24mm, will it just bring up the widest frame?the 35?

Well, that's it. regards, elijah

It is possible that you are having battery problems, or the contacts need to be cleaned. If this is so, then you are temporarily loosing power and switching off and on. This could account for the recurrent iso (asa) light flashing. That would be the first thing that I would check out. best of luck.

I cannot bring myself to sell my analogue m rangefinders. I just cannot do it.

So, I am not purchasing an M 8 at this point.

Anyhow, I was wondering how well the digilux 2 is holding up now that it is a

few years old. I do not seem able to find any definitive answers on the web to

this question.

One reason that I would want one is for IR. So, next question is, from my

understanding, the dig 2 does do IR with the right filter. has anyone used it

for this? Please let me know. And if you can, post a pic or two.

Any other comments on the diglux 2 that might be helpful is also appreciated.

thanks, elijah
