A (very short) glimpse of Tokyo

[koji]

All done by M8 + G-Biogon 21/2.8

please click the photo to enlarge

A subway station

Taxi driver (and railway men wear WHITE gloves somehow, this is a wonder in japan :8 )

The most famous intersection in Japan (at Shibuya, you might have seen it on your TV)

Tokyo has a dark side too

Honda still makes small vehicles (I do not know how to to call it.)


from here, GF1 + 20/1.7 is used At Shnjyuku station south gate, lookig East and West

West view (three tall buildings are ParkHyatt Hotel, in which hollywood movie "lost in translation" was shot)


There are three more sets to come... in Kyoto Gosho, Kurama-yama, and beautiful inner see islands, each is one day trip.

Thank you Koji
The GF1 with the 1.7/20 is so impressive

I'm really surprised. I have read that it is good.
The two threads you have it i so far next to the Biogon and M8 are very surprising.
It's clinical but still so lifelike.

Thanks for sharing Koji! You seem to like your GF1?

Hey Everyone.

PANA's GF1 is pretty an amazing machine, small but versatile. I did not buy
an external EVF, but no problem so far. Now I leaned how to do MF on GF1,
shooting becomes a little slow and focusing must be very accurate, otherwise
the result is blurry. This camera sports 48 MP as FF camera, so focus is
very severe. Pixel density is four times more than D700's.

Yes Klaus, this camera is very capable and light which is good for old foggy like me.

Andy, Pana's 20/1.7 is quite a good lens not only sharp even close focus but has AF!
I will put up much bigger images by 20/1.7 on oversize gallery within days.
There are some examples in 1200x1800 by this G 20/1.7 lens >

Hi Koji,

when I saw your picture of the Shinjuku South Exit, I had an attack of acute home-sickness.
Thanks for the pictures

That was my intention in my deep mind too, Thomas.
