finally...for now, the waiting (aka agony) is over

yes, the delivery man showed up with the R-D1s.
Did a few shots and I must say it's somewhat different from SLR - certainly more fun to use.

Let's see if I can sneak out during lunch today to do some shots.

Oh, is there any good book/websites about techniques/guides on using range finders?

[haagen_dazs]

how many shots can you take on 1 battery?

[paisatge]

if I remember correctly, about 300

Any sample iso1600 images?

TIA

Hmm, some of the images look ok while others were kinda fake looking with lotsa pixels visible.

haven't done any yet. I've posted some pics in the images thread but taken at iso200.
I'm sure you can find loads of it on the web.
