First Epson R-D1 samples online: Digital Photography Review

http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2004/0621/dcr016.htm "This new article (published in Japanese) is a hands-on with the R-D1 and contains a set of (fairly average) samples taken with the camera in combination with a range of different prime lenses." Fade of the myth about Leica lenses with digital sensor. Leica Lenses were not optimised for digital, and R-D1 doesn't have much more in image processing. fairly average, and 1.6x, that's all.
