Latest addition to my Fuji XF lens collection: 23mm f2 (35mm equiv.). This thing is light, sharp and focuses very fast. Love it. I have always preferred a 35mm as a walk around lens and this one nicely replaces the Sigma ART I had on my 5Dmk3. Now, if only Fuji could start producing VERY fast primes with WR, that would be great.
When the sun hits the glass of the lens directly, colors are subdued, contrasts drops and flares appear. The resulting atmosphere just looks nice for some subjects, like this temple I think.
La Ruée vers l’Or in Tokyo is an excellent French restaurant: reasonable price, delicious food and perfect selection of matching wine. Highly recommended! Their website: http://www.la-ruee-vers-lor.com/english/
On our way back from Furano, we stopped by to buy some melons and witnessed the sun playing hide and seek with the clouds and casting beautiful shadows on the nearby hills.
Young Miko performing her duties at a shrine in Tokyo. By the way, this was shot at 25,600 ISO and cleaned up with DeNoise AI from Topaz Labs. Amazing results, no?
Very far away from Tokyo, I give you: a little family restaurant in Shikoku. I wonder how the Japanese country-side will look like 20 years from now…
Another visit at my favourite soba restaurant: Kyourakutei Soba (蕎楽亭) in Kagurazaka. This time, I decided not to take pictures of the food, but of the surroundings.
