And a heaven in a wild flower 

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand 

And eternity in an hour”

There are moments in life when you’re about to turn a corner, but you stop to look behind you.

Because you know it’s your last look.

The Camera Store reviews the Epson R-D1.

Inspiration, Q&A

Prosophos - Epson R-D1

Yes indeed.  As part of the The Camera Store‘s ongoing Unsung Cameras of Yesteryear series Chris Niccolls reviews the Epson R-D1 —the camera that actually preceded the Leica M8.  The review came out almost a month ago but I hadn’t seen it until now.

As always, it’s an entertaining and informative video (I find TCS does the best video reviews out there).

For those of you who appreciate CCD sensors, check out what Chris says about the image quality coming out of this more-than-a-decade year old 6 MP digital rangefinder (9:30 mark of the video).
