Not to be missed is the annual camera trade show... so much to see. I think I will go back on Saturday to have some hands on with a particular 58mm lens ; ) There was a lot of 'accessories' on display and it seemed a little subdued from previous years... ...
I can tell you had a great time!

I can understand why you need to go back again. That 58mm F1.4 looks very interesting and would be great for portraits I suppose. Good luck! cheers fernando
I played with the lens but didn't have my Nikon body...

the lens construction is very nice and I am sure the rendering is wonderful... but have to try it ; ) I love my Nikon 50mm f/1.2 but I want to test the Nokton 58 at the edges as a comparison.
these events are オタク magnets...

OMG. Did anyone notice the girl is reading a book titled "How to Fill Your Bucket"? No comment!

Taiko Master arcade game by Namco was introduced in 2001. The object is accuracy, cadence, speed and vigour to music. It's like an early version of 'Guitar Hero'. Not bad as it is actually physical and requires coordination so players can raise heart rate...

in part it's the lighting... I don't know why more locations are not photo friendly...
well done

i understand almost nothing, but some strategies are clear and close to watch brands. They could produce (and earn) more, but the quality might worsen. Always interesting.

I must resist, I must resist... actually the process is just to check it out with no expectation and see where the story leads me ; ) I love the Nikon 50 1.2 but it's weak (or the scanning process is weak) at the edges. For me the interest is in the compa...

I appreciate your kind words. The model was very professional, showing attention to each individual photographer, she got a big thank you from me and I suspect others as well ; )
I revisited the venue yesterday...

as I wanted to test the Nokton 58 f/1.4 head to head with the Nikon 50 f/1.2 ... I will update the results after the film is developed. I was testing with the Nikon F3HP as the F3P is at the repair shop for a couple of weeks. As a rule I try not to eat fa...
