Used Camera Fair in Shibuya

Used Camera Fair in Shibuya

I decided to run out to Shibuya for a little shooting and shopping last night...   I love how there are no trash cans in Tokyo so the poor little recycling one next to the vending machines gets piled high each day... きのう渋谷にしゃしんをとりに行きました。

Today’s Configuration: Leica M9 with Summilux 35mm f/1.4.

今日のカメラ:私のライカM9をつかいます。レンズはSummilux 35mm f/1.4。

I snapped a photo of the train as I was getting off...in the distance you can see the Tokyu security guard running over to see what I am doing.   I must have looked dangerous.

Rows and Rows of Leica M2, Leica MPs, Leica M6, M6 TTL, M7s and M8s and more... I could have spend a fortune here if I knew more about old Leicas and which were the ones to have.

I was lucky to get out with out buying any camera equipment... I did update my camera bag to a slightly bigger Billingham that can fit both my Leica, lens and x100.  My previous bag was just too small.

あたらしいカメラバッグをかいました。。。

I stopped by Apple Store in Shibuya... I needed to put up a new wireless router.    I also picked up an additional 4TB of Western Digital Drives.    My storage farm is now 10,000GBs.... 2TBs for Mac Backup, 4 TBs of Video, 2 TBs for photo backups and an extra 2TB drive.     I get all of my TV from iTunes so I have a ton of data...aside from that the 5 silver stacks look really cool.  I'll take a shot when I get them set up.

This was a costly picture... I squatted down to take a photo of this bike and stepped on my Bang & Olufsen headphones cord and when I stood up they broke...
