Got the chance to drive a brand-new Audi TT-RS, courtesy of Audi Ikebukuro. This little beast is seriously fast—Audi R8 V10 Plus kind of fast—with a 0-100km/h time under 4 seconds.

Another chance to test the high ISO capabilities of my little X-T2—this time inside Space Mountain in Tokyo. The low light was really a challenge, but the camera handled it impressively well. Crisp details and minimal noise, even in such tricky conditions. Definitely a fun and successful experiment!
