W-Nikkor C 3.5cm f/1.8 Photos!

Hmmmm I'm not so sure about that! It's a regular commuter train that's probably been in service for at least 30 years, and the controls used by the driver are rather primative really. One of those big dials in front of the driver is an analogue speedometer!

You may be right. I'm probably under-estimating the Metro-North trains ... but given the state of many of the cars, this is how I picture them :

EDIT: And I found cab photos of Metro-North. I wasn't so far off (though in the second it does seem like the speedometer is digital at least):

Thanks Jin!

Here's a few more pics. I continue to "collect" izakayas, though I'm not sure what I'll do with them all just yet. These were taken at f2. I generally set the lens to f2 at night, unless I need all the speed I can get. Then I open the lens that extra 1/3 of a stop to f1.8.

Here's a few from an S mount version shot on a Sony A7. I've only had this lens a couple weeks and have yet to shoot any film with it. Photos were taken while visiting my family in the U.S.

I'm very impressed with the performance of this little gem. It's mounted on my SP right now, and when the temps cool down I'll take it out and shoot some film.

Looking real nice! The summer corn looks good too.

Nice tones with the JCH film. (Not gonna say anything about the Nikkor as my heart is still raw and bleeding from my attempt to acquire one.) 😉

Thanks Kevin. You'll find yourself a Nikkor eventually 😉

Here's a couple more shot on Neopan 400

Nice shots, Jon...is Neopan 400 still available in Japan?

Thanks Jin! I'm still working through my stash of Neopan 400 acquired just before it was discontinued about two years ago. Should last me a while yet.

Here is a few shots from the first rolls with the SP 2005 kit I enjoy every bit of:

Soon I will be rid of all that old color film I had hoarded and will switch back to my favorite BW film ;-)

Here is from my very own second to last roll of Neopan 400 - very sad about that, it was such a fantastic film!

Nice shots, Dirk. Really like the one with the young lady holding the 琵琶. I miss Neopan 400 too. My stash was used up long ago.

Yes indeed! We stayed in Hakodate for a week this summer - the seafood there was amazing and it was such a great place to relax for a while too.

The bullet train made its debut in Hokkaido on 26th March 2016. So far there are just two stations in southern Hokkaido, but eventually the track will reach all the way to Sapporo. This is at Shin-Hakodate Hokuto Station, which is the end of the line for now. The Series H5 (H for Hokkaido) bullet trains look amazing in the flesh.
