Hello Fujinon XF 16mm f1.4 R lens

 I sold my Fujinon XF 16mm f2.8 lens and Fujinon XF 18mm f2 lens and bought a big beautiful Fujinon XF 16mm f1.4 R lens. So, let's see what we shall see with it on the streets of Yokohama.

The man in red.

It's a really wide angle of a taxi.

The winter sunshine can be quite harsh.

All the buildings in the foreground are built on landfill.

Passing through Motomachi.

I'm not the only person out taking pictures today.

China town.

Hey, dude, pull your mask up.

It's always the older guys that don't follow the rules.

The lady in red.

He's got his chin guard on.

Which way do we go? We go to Hinodecho!

And now, just for the fun of it, some pictures I took at Miura Beach with a Sony A7II camera and the Lensbaby Velvet 56 lens.


Daikon radish hanging in the sun to dry.



A boat.

Driftwood. 



Footsteps in the sand.

Shooting into the sun.

Self-explanatory. 

Another boat.

More daikon.

The license plate number caught my eye.


Beach junk.


One less windsurfer? 

There's a shrine behind Tsukuihama station.

The southbound train.

And, here comes my train.

It's a long one.

Thanks for stopping by!

More Fun with the Fujinon XF 90mm f2 R WR lens

 Another outing with this fantastic lens.
Fujifilm X-H1 camera, Fujinon XF 90mm f2 R WR lens

The first shot of the day to get things going. Yokohama's skyline is constantly changing. A few years ago these buildings were not here. Before these buildings were here there was a nice view of Mt. Fuji from the Osanbashi pier - not now.

This lens is great for isolating people.

A guy who follows the rules and walks his bike on the Isezaki shopping street.

A man on a mission.

She looks lovely in the morning sunlight.

Walk like an Egyptian.

Running makes her feel good.

Yokohama's finest.


This runner is in the zone.

This runner is not!

By Japanese standards this American truck is huge!


This guy is good.

Another guy following the rules in Yamashita park.

There are no rules in Motomachi.

The mask comes down, the cigarette goes in.

A public display of affection.

Less of a romantic here.

Running a zigzag pattern.

The hard cold stare.

It's all about the pearls.

Passing through Yokohama park. 

Good doggie.

Repetitive geometric shapes beg to be photographed.

Recklessly walking outside the crosswalk.

I was getting ready to take a picture of an on coming train when this gentleman walked in front of my lens. 

Last shot of the day: On coming train!

Thanks for stopping by!
