I was out with my wife this afternoon on our Sunday afternoon date and we stopped by the Tokyo Photo Show at Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi. I don't go to these nearly enough so I was glad I had a chance to spend some time at the show.

The show is going on for one more day... There are some amazing photos and well worth the trip if you can get there.

I thought this image was excellent...

I was turning a corner when I heard 'Dave'. This nice women stopped to me to let me know she is a regular reader of ShootTokyo. I love when people do that. I spent a ton of time on ShootTokyo but it can get 'lonely' on this side of the blog. Even though I have 10s of 1,000s of subscribers and readers I only get a 10 or 20 comments per post. Often I find myself second guessing the numbers. Are people really reading this? Hello-o-o-o-o

Thanks for stopping me to say 'Hi' Kathleen...it was nice to meet you.

I love viewing these shows as it helps me to see what I like and don't like. So does trying different types of gear...

I have decided to sell my Nikon D3S, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, and Nikon 105mm Macro. I never use them and honestly I am constantly confused by all of the features. I just don't need them for my style of photography. I am much happier shooting manually with my Leica M6-J or in Aperture Priority with my Leica M9-P. If you are Tokyo based and serious interested, drop me an email.

So what should I get when I sell them?

I have been thinking about the beautiful Leica M Monochrom. They are starting to take orders and this could be a very nice addition to my Leica collection. It is different to what I already have and the high ISO is very attractive. I saw the recent announcement on the Leica M but honestly I think I will wait until the "P" version comes out. I am pretty happy with my Leica M9-P and I don't see anything that makes me want to jump at it. I really don't like how some of the buttons on the back are silver. It just seems like an odd design choice given how clean Leica design is.
