Hey hey hey - hold on - wait a minute - when I went travelling a few weeks
ago all the LUG knowitalls swore blind and double dutch that the Epson RD-1
was pure vapourware and would never see the light of day - or at the very
most had been announced much too early in it's very earliest R&D and might
even be as slow coming to market as the "real" digital M - on top of which
Epson and Cosina probably didn't really have the nous to actually produce
such a camera...

And you are telling me you can actually buy the thing now?
