[Leica] Epson RD-1 and love

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard)]

Gerry, I have a love-hate relationship with my R-D1s. Yes, plural. I only 
paid for one but I am on the 3rd body AND, in fact, I will be sending it 
back as soon as my brain becomes unscrambled from the Indian timezone. This 
time, the vertical alignment is totally f*cked. It was fine when I first 
got it, but it just went out of whack :-( So:

- first one has great RF, should have kept that one, but the battery gauge 
died
- 2nd one has bad RF DOA
- 3rd one got a bad vertical RF

4th one? :-(
