Some memories from October 2018. Zeiss 25/2 at work on Df. The other lens on the trip was the old Noct.

Paco, Birna, John and Daniel, thank you for kind comments.

Seeing members in the real world makes this entire forum feel real.

The Apple store in Ginza is still thriving while the Nikon House where you bought the Reflex Nikkor is closed and replaced by Fujiya, the sweets company.

Paco, Birna, John and Daniel, thank you for kind comments.

Thank you from me for your comments too, and thanks also to Airy, Thomas and Fons - much appreciated.

Hello again to Birna - we've been participants in at least three meetups in Scotland (with Dave Patterson) and England.

Free beer - excuse the noise....
The other services of the establishment are not exactly free I guess?

Hey Mike! Great to hear from you! We had so much fun together in Scotland!
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

I don't know about that - the bar is in a respectable area, but you never know for sure!

Great to hear from you, too, Frank. Scotland was a lot of fun, and you were a major contributor to this, with your generous and lavish cook ups for us all, and your candid portraits of us. Pity there won't be any more of the Scotland meet ups.
Hope you enjoyed California...
