Night Flower
Large aperture at night with IBIS: thank you Fuji!
Subway Speed
Trying the X-H1 with the 10-24mm to see if IBIS helps… I still cannot go above 1/4s i.e. the same duration as with the X-T2. Just curious if I could, no complaints about the value itself.
Platform Light
Love the light on this JR platform in Tokyo!
Sushi Night

Japanese Roofs

Two shots at different aperture with the Zhong Yi Optics 35mm/f.095: wide open and closed at f/5.6.
Zhong Yi Optics
First day with a Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II on my Fuji X-T2. Remarkable results: reminds me of my beloved 50mm/f1.2L, only sharper (that Canon lens produced great results but was a pain to focus). I think I’ll get rid of the Zeiss Biogon 35mmf/2. This is much better: look at that bokeh!…
Christmas Mood
Festive lighting at Omotesando Hills for Christmas. For reference, the same scene but in focus – sometimes, it is useful to play with the focus ring!
