Testing the X-H1 with the 10-24mm to see if IBIS makes a difference, but it turns out I still can’t push beyond 1/4s—about the same as I could manage with the X-T2. Not that I’m complaining, as 1/4s is already pretty solid for handheld shots. Just wanted to see if the IBIS would let me stretch it further. Still, the added stability does make framing and composing a smoother experience overall!
Little walk for lunch in the neighborhood with my macro lens. Lovely tiny little flowers everywhere. Springtime has come in Tokyo!
At the end of autumn in Tokyo, ginkgo leaves steal the show, blanketing the forest floor in vibrant shades of yellow. Their fan-shaped elegance creates a striking contrast against the earthy tones of the season, turning paths and open spaces into golden carpets. The soft crunch underfoot and the way they catch the light make…
The 56mm f/1.2 APD has become a permanent fixture on my X-T2—it’s just that good! Incredible sharpness, dreamy bokeh, and perfect for portraits or anything with a shallow depth of field. On another note, The Station Agent was the first movie I saw with Peter Dinklage, long before his Game of Thrones fame. Such a…
Viron Shibuya: A little slice of Paris in Tokyo. Yes, it’s on the pricey side, but their Oignon Soup? Absolutely worth it—rich, hearty, and downright phenomenal. Bon appétit!
After a french dinner with my old friends, got a chance to try some long exposure shots with my GX7Mk2 / GX85. Not bad at all. If only Adobe could process the Panasonic RAW in a decent way. The colors of the JPEG produced by the camera are always so much more accurate. What are…
Testing the 56mm APD on a rainy night was a treat for the bokeh and atmosphere, but I couldn’t help wishing it was WR (Weather Resistant). Handling a non-WR lens in wet conditions is always a bit nerve-wracking, but the results made it worth it. Here’s hoping Fuji gives us an updated, weather-sealed version someday!
