There's a review/test/comparison of various wideangle lenses used on 
an R-D1, by Sean Reid on the Luminous Landscape page. He's very 
enthusiastic about the R-D1 in general, and quite fair in his 
assessment, but his proclivities and shooting practices are important 
background to his overall assessment. Those are detailed in his first 
report.

Essentially, he practices a slower, more methodical style of shooting 
where the miniscule buffer of the R-D1 and other foibles don't hamper 
him as much as it might others. Shooting RAW is an essential part of 
using many wideangle lenses.
