Epson R-D1
The Epson R-D1 is a digital rangefinder camera that uses the Leica M lens mount, introduced in 2004. It was the first digital rangefinder brought to market and was positioned as a specialist tool for photographers wanting to use M-mount lenses with a digital sensor.
Sales data for the R-D1 is thin, but a UK auction hammer result from 2023 saw one sell for £420, giving a useful reference point for what a working example is worth at saleroom level today. Because only a single record is available, this figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price, and condition, shutter count and inclusion of the original charger and battery materially affect value.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Epson R-D1 worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction data available, a working R-D1 sells for around £420 at hammer, though this is drawn from a single 2023 sale and the true market price will vary with condition and accessories.
How much does an Epson R-D1 sell for at auction?
The one recorded UK auction sale in our data hammered at £420, which gives a rough guide to current value but should not be treated as a firm range.
Why does the Epson R-D1 hold value?
It was the first digital rangefinder to reach the market and accepts Leica M-mount lenses, which keeps demand from collectors and M-system users steady despite its age.
