I bet if you google it you could probably find it. He apparently liked it. I was thinking of giving it a try too.

So you have the conversion factor (1.5 in the R-D1) Your 28mm wideangle becomes a 42mm !!!!

Said it was not bad, but the lens mag factor was annoying if you like the wide angles. The images he shot at 1600 were nice though.

I wish Konica Minolta would make a digital Hexar just like the original black fixed lens but the lens would have to be 35mm equivalent. Maybe they could make a 28 and 50 as well. I'd get the lot. That would be perfect. 6 to 8 megapixels. Hmm, that would be so sweet. Are you listening Konica? Mon, 06 Jun 2005 06:34:09 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/the-epson-r-d1#3960
