• Biogon Focus

    The focus ring of the Zeiss Biogon 35mm is such a joy to use—smooth, precise, and with just the right amount of resistance. I find myself often playing with it, even when I’m not shooting, just because it feels so satisfying. It’s a reminder of how much fun manual focus can be with the right…

  • Biogon Bokeh

    I’m loving how the little Zeiss Biogon (35mm) beautifully blurs the background at a large aperture. The soft, creamy bokeh adds so much character to the shots, making subjects stand out while giving the images a dreamy, artistic feel. This lens has a way of turning everyday scenes into something special!

  • Rainy Walk

    It’s been raining non-stop for days here in Tokyo. The city takes on a completely different vibe—streets glisten, umbrellas fill the sidewalks, and the gray skies add a moody touch to the usual bustle. A bit dreary, but there’s always something atmospheric about Tokyo in the rain.

    Station Agent

    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…

    Biogon at Night

    Tried the little 35mm Zeiss Biogon on the Fuji X-T2 for some night shots around Kagurazaka, just a few steps from home. No post-processing aside from a red filter, and I’m loving the result. The lens captures such rich tones and character, with a natural, almost film-like feel. A great match for night photography!

    Shibuya Rain

    Testing the weather resistance (WR) of the X-T2 on a rainy day in Shibuya—it handled the wet conditions like a champ! Raindrops didn’t faze it, and I was able to capture the vibrant energy of Shibuya in the rain without worrying about the gear. A solid performer for unpredictable weather!

  • Rainy Ebisu

    A rainy Friday night in Ebisu—wet streets reflecting the glow of city lights, umbrellas bobbing through the crowd, and a calm, almost cinematic atmosphere. The sound of raindrops and the gentle buzz of conversations from nearby izakayas make it a perfect mix of cozy and moody vibes. Tokyo at its best in the rain. 🌧️✨

    Zeiss Biogon 35 ZM

    Ever since I got my X-T2, I’ve been tempted to try some Leica M-mount lenses. While I appreciate the performance of my XF lenses—they’re sharp, distortion-free, and reliable—they sometimes feel too clinical and lack a bit of personality. Plus, I’m not a fan of their handling: the metal coating feels slippery, focus-by-wire can be frustrating,…
