when the rd1 can no longer be serviced...

what will i do...

first...be very sad.

second, i will move fully into dslr land!

i will no longer shoot film, i am far too old and cranky to go back into the darkroom.
i refuse to put m mount lenses on anything but a digital rangefinder.
i likely wont be able to afford a digital leica and it's not looking too good for another drf to rise up from nowhere.

i might go for a fuji pro type camera with native lenses but really, a camera like the nikon d90 with all it's plastic and plastic lenses isn't all that much bigger or heavier than my rd1 compliment.

a bit of an alarmist aren't you?

with JapanCameraHunter handling repairs back to the factory
it probably be years until repairs are not available
