Not entirely the same but I will mention it. I have had a SD10 for many years and had some M42 lenses. I had a Zeiss 85 mm made in Germany lens and the result was just stunning! All manual, of-course but what fun it was. I also had a nice very old russian thing of 50 mm with a polish adapter. Was nice but not great.

I now have the SD1. Great camera. A bit on the slow side. And it sounds maybe a bit strange but I do not specifically like the SD 1 more than I did the SD10:-)

why not get a nice SD15 (They are going at a far price lately) with a nice prime (30 mm art or 50 mm) and stay with the Ricoh with M lensadapter?

It is nice to have two totally different cameras. I know that as soon as I have some dough, I’ll be buying a Leica Q and keep the SD 1 with just the 70 mm and maybe a nice big zoom or so. Fabulous cameras both and so very different!
