Thanks Gabor! Not L-san, just a random girl on the beach 🙂

Great shots at the festival Jon!

Here are a few shots from the 35/1.8 re issue on the SP and S3 - Tri-X @ ISO 800 in D-76
I have to do rescans though as these are rough, quick scans without regard of scan exposure:

i'm guessing you bought a good few rolls before they discontinued Neopan?
I always liked it processed in tmax dev.

I did! I'm glad I did too because film prices in Japan have gone crazy since then and the current locally available alternatives are about twice the price I paid for the Neopan.

I came to Neopan400 accidentally - I always used TX400 and when at some point TX400 hiked up in price in China mainland I tried a roll of Neopan 400 not expecting much - it was about half the price of TX400 back then.

I couldn't believe what I saw and since then always had a brick in the freezer until at some point I didn't shoot film for a few months and was completely taken by surprise when it was announced to be discontinued.
Prices since then exploded but luckily TX400 came back a little.

Neopan 400 is such a fantastic film - I always liked it. I have only one single roll left and am back using TX400 :-(

Here's a splash of colour for an otherwise predominantly B&W thread. Shot on Fuji Superia 400 XTRA with a Leica IIIf and LTM W-Nikkor 3.5cm F1.8 "classic".

Great pics, Jon! Thanks for sharing.

Nice Jon! I love these shop front shots and do them too whenever I can.
It will be interesting to look at these in a few decades as time progresses.

Peter, Dirk, thanks!

That's enough colour for a while. Now back to the regular program of B&W 😉

Nihonbashi bridge, the 0km point for measuring distances from Tokyo. Its always puzzled me why the dragon statues are there...

Here's some photos from the 2017 Kanamara Festival (aka Penis Festival) held today in Kawasaki City. Its an actual Shinto religious festival, but I don't think there's anything else quite like it in Japan. All photos taken with a Leica IIIf and LTM W-Nikkor 35/1.8.

Those are some great color shots Jon - quite interesting and funny to see this festival from a gaijin's perspective ;-) I bet you had a great time shooting these!
