High Quality Pictures from Japan & Tokyo
Photographic tips and examples to shoot better Pictures.
Second part of my adventure with my Samyang lens. I bought a lens station and updated the firmware to the latest version (v2) but still no major improvements: between 1/2 and 1/3 of my shots remain out of focus: slightly at best, quite substantially in the worst cases. I even went to my favourite camera […]
Back after a long hiatus, and with a new camera : a shiny Canon R6. Given the price of the RF prime lenses for now, I wanted to give the Samyang RF 85mm f/1.4 a try. It’s cheap, reasonably well built and the image quality quite good: love the colors and bokeh. HOWEVER, I have […]
The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II is now my favorite lens and seldom leaves my X-H1: well built, sharp where the focus is done, soft creamy bokeh in other areas, perfect color cast. It reminds me of the 50mm/f1.2L that I had on my 5Dmk3: only smaller, sharper and easier to use (with […]

Love the light on this JR platform in Tokyo!
