South Exit
Still trying the combo of 10-24mm on X-H1 and still unable to go above 1/4s. However, it seems that the hit rate at this limit is higher than without IBIS.
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.

First Sakuras blooming in Tokyo and this year, no business trip flying me away during the Hanami season – happy, happy!
Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II at the front, Fuji X-H1 at back: a red bicycle at night in Kagurazaka. APS-C + IBIS and fast (manual) lenses, a dream combo coming true for me :)
Where a working day usually starts in Tokyo.
Gastro… as in gastroenteritis ?!
Snowboard is certainly a way for young women in Japan to display their color coordination and makeup skills – not so much their snowboard skills :)
I know I am only repeating myself but in 10~20 years Tokyo (and Japan) will look very different with all these shops disappearing.
Trying the 35mm/f0.95 at night: lovely cream bokeh. Which reminds me: I can’t wait for an X-T3 with an IBIS (in-body image stabilization).
Few shots on my way to work with the 35mm f/0.95. Love that lens!
Hot fire in my house in Normandy with French Royal Lilies and the Lions of William the Conqueror in the background.
Picking up Omikuji at the Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Jinja (北口本宮冨士浅間神社) or Sengen Jinja for short. Beautiful light for the early afternoon.
Nice expo in the basement of Omotesando Hills in Tokyo: Kimono Roboto.
