At Shinjyuku Tokyo

[koji]

I bought "SIGMA 85mm F1.4 EX DX HSM (F mount)" lens two days before leaving for Toronto, so only four shots here.
But will upload more later, but not expect great shots.

Shinjyuku is the town itself within large Tokyo, it used to be a village outside of city EDO (1600 ~1668) and the first staying
place to go to the central Japan or Kyoto. "shin"=new, "jyuku"=hotel/ryokan in english
Art school building @f4 + D700


Shinjyuku main street for people for shopping & dinning


Ditto for cars, big train guard (girder)


From my hotel to those high rises is 3.8 Km away, the one with parabola antenae is
Tokyo city's government building and the taller one is Crown Plaza Hotel, in where
the movie "lost in translation" was shot almost entirely inside of that hotel rooms. @f5.6 or 8


This lens is fairly sharp even at its wide open, which is good but not much of atmosphere. It may be too harsh for
portraiture for women I guess. It is heavy and also bulky comparing with Zeiss Planar 85/1.4 ZF, but AF speed is
pretty good and accurate (luckily ).

The end for now.

Thank you for another nice visit Koji.
Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower is a fascinating building. Did you take a look inside as well?

No, I did not get into that building. At the next time, Andy.
