Shibuya Rain
Testing the WR (Weather Resistant) capabilities of the little X-T2 on a rainy day in Shibuya.
Living in Tokyo for roughly two decades, you’d think the novelty would wear off—but this city never stops surprising me. From the quiet hum of early-morning trains to the neon chaos of Shinjuku at night, Tokyo’s rhythm is a constant source of inspiration. Daily life here is a blend of tradition and modernity: vending machines on every corner, temples nestled between skyscrapers, and festivals that bring streets to life. Even mundane errands feel unique, whether it’s navigating crowded markets, exploring new ramen shops, or watching the seasons change in meticulously tended parks. Tokyo’s energy, contrasts, and subtle details make every day a story waiting to be told. It’s a photographer’s dream and a constant reminder that familiarity doesn’t dull magic—it sharpens it.

Ever since I got my X-T2 I have been tempted to try some Leica M-mount lenses. While I love the performance of my XF lenses, I feel they lack personality: it’s always sharp, no vignetting, low distorsion. Besides, I am not a fan of how they handle: the metal coating is too slippery, the focus-by-wire…

Wandering in Shinjuku before going back to work…
The first fall of apparently many but with two kids, we had to stop there. Already quite an adventure to reach, especially if you don’t like big bugs… Shot handheld at 1/4s with the 10-24mm.
