I'm not saying she isn't- but I'm all for ordered yet cluttered picture, and that fish market is great.

Thanks guys...
I was on my hands and knees in a huge puddle of fishwater to take that photo. We'd been kicked out of the fresh tuna auction at Tsukiji three times by then and the 'gomen-nassai we bakka gaijin' schtick was rapidly losing its effectiveness...
The opening was about a foot wide and I smelled like fish for about a week afterwards

I'm going to nick that blokes bike while he is asleep, ride round to the girl on the desk at the desk and ask her on a date in Hong Kong (I hope it's HK) for some tuna sashimi.

I hadn't heard that Fulton Fish Market had closed or moved. Shocking.

I really like a lot of the shots in this thread. Keep it up!
I wish I could justify a noctilux, especially the new one. However, the thought of spending 5k on a lens... I think I'd end up with the Lux ASPH and a CV 35/1.2 instead and pocket the extra $2k.
Its a real shame I didn't get into M's about 5 years ago when the prices were a little bit more manageable.

@ urban_alchemist: No 1 and 3 !! So do you still like Maguro ... ? Tsukiji is a place to go !
@Fred: If it were my friends throwing Soja sauce at me I would be fine... It is the camera operator (me), who is dropping it at all the time why having the camera around the neck ...
But at least I can confirm, that (I have an Leica UV filter in front of my lens) a) the Noct tends to flare a lot more and b) vignetting gets worse by at least one stop (no kiddin here) with that Leica filter. So far I use a micro fiber cloth for cleaning my lenses and have removed the UV filter from my 35mm Summilux. The quality of the images increased visibly.

I scanned a few frames before going to bed. Just another strip (6 frames) left in the 2nd B/W roll....

I learned something from this shot. B/W needs different logic. In the real world there was some beautiful lighting spot around the lower right corner; yet in this shot they are just not recognized at all....
[Hello Wall-E!]
I haven't got the time to see this movie, but I WILL! It reminds me of the "Thunder Five".... I used to dream about having one.

This is one shot I'm going to use in my blog:
The heart can be broad. Yet it can take only a tiny spot to lock it up.

That first one (kid in the hole) is fantastic deepwhite- that OOF foreground can be hard to pull off but this one is lovely. A little burn to the OOF element lower left is all I'd consider here. I'd have that on my wall.

Lovely shot! If it wasn't in Japan I'd think he was about to mug them
It was funny, first he was watching them, then he turned around, spotted me in the dark holding a camera and left, slightly amazed ...deepwhite

@sepiareverb - thanks. As for the lower left corner, I wish the car hadn't been there....
@maddoc - as usual, great blurry night shot!
＠others - I wish I knew what you're talking about with the market.... :-(

The last frames of my 2nd B/W roll with the Noctilux. They look much less "Nocti-like" than the previous ones. Which is a good news to myself. I never wanted that every shot with the Noctilux looks like a Nocti-shot. I believe some of you know what I'm talking about.

I swear I don't know when it came to my balcony....

This week I'm taking "1 lens + 2 cams" out: Noctilux + Hexar RF (Velvia 100) & R-D1s. Since the progress of the Velvia roll has been quite slow, I think what's coming should be the R-D1s shots.
So far the Noctilux works better with film than with the R-D1s. Tommy Oshima and Moaan on flickr both have great shots from their R-D1 + Noctilux, but I'm trying to find a new way to get good images, that are not just dreamy, from this combination.

@DeepWhite: Love "As my consciense blurs" - was that on purpose?
Anyway... I just got back from a quick break in St. Tropez ...
I ended up shooting mostly with my TX-2 (XPanII for those not in Asia) - if you're interested, you can see them in my Flickr at the bottom of the post... but I still made sure to pack my trusty MP and Noctilux for after nightfall...
Was very impressed with Fuji Pro400H pushed - rated it a 800, and absolutely overjoyed with the results:
My local shop in Israel was out of Neopan 1600 so I resorted to Ilford Delta 3200... not going to be doing that again in a hurry...
There's grain, and there's golf-balls...
And my personal favourite (the things you see in St. Tropez never cease to amaze):
And a few more from my favourite restaurant in Tel-Aviv ("Basta" - literally "Market Stall") for good measure:
