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!

I lucked into two good deals on S mount versions a year ago. One was completely disassembled. After putting it back together I sold it for more than twice what I paid. The other needed some cleaning but was otherwise in nearly new condition. Of course, I had been looking for months for an affordable copy before these two deals came around. Just proves that patience sometimes pays off. I love using it on my SP. Have a roll in there now I need to finish off and develop.

You guys are killing it with the 35/1.8. What a special lens with interesting signature and character. Funny thing is that for an old single coated lens is how modern looking the rendering can be at the same time.

I now have two 35/1.8 Nikkors in LTM. I ended picking up a second one at a good price. There is oil on the blades and the front element has a coating scratch, but my main lens is perfect. I had to buy the second one because not only is it a rare lens, the price was crazy low, even despite the imperfections.

I will likely get the second 35/1.8 recoated by John at Focal Point.

This is a great thread. Thanks.

Cal
