I wish nikon would do such a thing. They could easily do it much cheaper since they could base it on the electronics of a D40 or D60, which have long ago paid for themselves. The RD-1 is so pricey because Epson had to amortize the cost of the electronics over relatively few units. -Adam On Wed,

It might have helped if they made a few more of them and/or advertized them a little more broadly. They made less than 15,000 units and sold them, occasionally, through a couple of knowledgeable dealers only. No economies of scale and no marketing means high prices... G On Nov 19, 2008,

NO, they are NOT easily usable. All the so-called adapter solutions do not support auto aperture so you end up with a very very very un-user friedly open to focus, close to shoot manual aperture, which SUCKS the big. Nothing at all like these lenses were intended to be used. JC O'Connell [EMAIL

No, the supply of old M42 lenses is huge. The market for them is small. If the market was so huge someone would have made a M42 DSLR by now. And given the rise of the Yen, shrinking DSLR sale profits general global economic difficulties, we're not going to see one anytime soon if at all. DS

Yep, and one based almost entirely on a camera they'd been building for decades. It was nothing more than the bog-standard Cosina SLR with yet another mount slapped on. Same basic body's been made in K, F, OM, FD, C/Y and possibly MD mounts. Essentially no development cost for a small profit.
