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

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.

Time flies, some have changed, and some haven't.

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!

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...

I am glad that you are planning to spend five weeks in China because it is a huge and beautiful country and, even in that time, you will barely scratch its surface.

One word of advice: do read-up on its long history (and know its most important Dynasties) before you go because you will go there with greater understanding and absorb much more as a result.

We spent six weeks in China: travelling by ourselves (not with a "Group") from east to west and from north to south; stayed, as often as possible, in small locally-owned hotels; ate wonderful meals all over China; and saw and photographed many precious treasures. We left there with the strongest desire to return.

Have a wonderful trip!
