You’ll no doubt recognize the Fujifilm stickers on the floor- this is indeed Shinjuku’s Yodobashi camera.  (yeah I was in this part of town again today)

Since the first shot was blurry he set the camera on a table telling me that he had used this lens for 30 years.  The black chrome has been rubbed away through so much us and it looks like the aperture ring was also replaced at some point.  He said that this lens used to be on an M4-2 which is now all worn out.  I can only imagine.

Today I ran into my pal Noyan with his Lumix with a very old lens affixed with a homemade adapter.  He takes a lot of pictures.

The Domke F3 isn’t just the greatest camera bag ever created, its awesomeness extends to hold 40 rolls of Fuji Super Presto. That’s right, these rolls roll two deep.  It also held 10 more rolls in a plastic case, my Leica, my GRD, an electronic dictionary, a book for the subway ride, and a notebook.  The Domke F3 is all kinds of capable.  Backpacks are for high school, not cameras. 
I’ve been shooting this 1600ASA film exclusively over the past month or so. Even overexposed about 2 stops it is still fairly easy to print and the look and depth of the prints are amazing in person.  My photo paper of choice is Fuji Rembrandt G2 and believe me, hot Fuji on Fuji action is well worth the price of admission.

You can see he has a copy of Nobuyoshi Araki’s Sentimental Journey reprint in his hand.  Good man.  That is a great book to learn from.
