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.
