fuyoh.. the lenses i saw are crazy expensive.. 2nd hand ones also 50/50 chance of finding a nice deal..
not going to Akihabara? i haven't been there yet.

i'm going this saturday and next saturday. accompany colleagues go cuci mata.
aiyo. PM me here cukup la. i got no phone, can only use public phone. dial also no idea how

Any plan for next year? Do gathering again?

if everyone is up for it I'll be happy to join cause I'll be practically living there lol

Where will you be living in Japan? Tokyo? Can tumpang your floor if I decide to go backpacking Japan?

Same here nasizwan. This ain't gonna be my last time in Sun Up land.

Back from day 2. Went to a lot of places (Tsukiji, Ginza again, Harajuku and Shinjuku) but if you want camera stuff (vintage film stuff specifically), Nakano's Fujiya is the place to go, especially the "Junk Shop" branch (they're all clustered together anyway).

Should be old news to Tokyo-ites however.

They were carting off (literally) lenses for like what, ¥2100 each? I even got a Minolta MD 50mm f1.4 woot, but I only saw 3 Minolta manual lenses (2 of which I bought).

Besides cartfuls of bodies and PnSes, and lenses of almost all other makes.



Here's a pic from my blog (shameless plug lol).

CrossPoint was ooookay, but Fujiya's Junk Shop is a treasure trove. Bear in mind though, stuff is sold AS IS in them carts, so you'll have to take your chances (you can inspect to your heart's content before purchase though). There ARE some modern AF lenses too, but mind the fact that the condition it's in varies greatly.

AND, the worst thing is, they accept VISA. Bye bye my credit limit.

Tomorrow, Kamakura/Enoshima. And Fujiya again if I have extra time lol (or maybe some of the shops in Shinjuku, need to check those too).

Nice! We can help Nasizwan clean his house while bunking over at his place

Do they sell m4/3 lenses? Just trying my luck.

Not dropping by Shibuya? I can go to Shinjuku after work but don't know where should we meet. There's a Starbucks at the Southern Terrace area. Just opposite the Shinjuku Station (South Exit).

All go stay in nasizwan house. hahaha. His wife can be mama-san. Take care on food.

Yes. Coz yesterday got rain. And now also got rain

LOL! yes.. it was 7C in Shibuya Crossing last night while lepaking with Eiraku Sensei. Didn't hang out long coz his legs were already breaking for walking all day.

was suppose to meet Eiraku Sensei at Akihabara today but it looks like rain is gonna be a problem

On the bright side.

The skies should be clear tomorrow.

I will be travel to Jap via KIX, Osaka for 13 days, hope to cover most kansai area, kyoto, kobe, nara, and then head to tokyo. I guess i need to get a 14 days Railway Pass. Do i need to have mobile internet despite the availability of wifi?

I have no idea about Kyoto, Kobe Nara or Osaka, but there are barely any free WiFi Hotspots in Tokyo.

Most of them involve having to pay a subscription to use them.

Unless of course, you're referring to free Hotel WiFi or something along those lines.
