Recently I have acquired 2 film cameras that were made in Singapore during the 1970s. The Rolleiflex SL35 and the a Rollei 35 S. The prior was acquired at the ICS show at Matsuya Ginza. The Rolleiflex SL35 is an SLR camera with a wide range of beautiful lenses to choose from. They are previously thought to be Carl Zeiss produced lenses with the one additional point, Rollei's proprietary HFT lens coating. The contrast and images produced are lovely. The Rollei 35 S is a compact mechanical camera that uses a metric system as its focusing system. They take a little getting used to, but with enough practice, it's really fun to operate this camera.

If you're in town visiting the streets of Roppongi, Tokyo, do drop by the Fujifilm Square next to their headquarters. An exhibition held, features: "The works of Tadahiko Hayashi as a Narrative on his Times" currently featuring Part 1 Caught on Camera: The Tumultuous Show a Era (end in 31st May 2018) Part 2 Caught on Camera: Scene of Old Japan (from June 1st to July 31st 2018) Furthermore, you could check out Fujifilm's very own film camera museum exhibits. From the TX-1 to the Tiara. There's plenty of things to see, so head on down NOW!

During my visit to Tokyo Midtown, I passed by an exhibition titled: フォトグラフぶき写真展「2018四季のいぶき」Photo Group IBUKI Photo Exhibition "2018 Four Seasons IBUKI". This event was headed by Nagamatsu san and several other members. They are a group of large format film camera enthusiasts in their 70s to 80s. Their landscape exhibits featured were captured on large format slide films. The level of skills and technicalities are unlike what I have encountered before. Every piece of works were carefully framed and captured, each telling a different story and mood. It was such an honour on the last weekend of my Tokyo Spring trip to conclude with a interview session with Nagamatsu san. He shared with me the purpose and reason behind the group's initiative to keep film alive and relevant, left me with a deeper meaning and purpose for my own journey. This was all possible by the recommendation by [5th Photo] Nakamura san (Left) and Chaya san (Right).

Flashback a week ago at Fujifilm headquarters in Tokyo Midtown. Fufilling my 7 days quota for the review, I want to thank Murata san for his impeccable service and dedication in his support throughout my Fujifilm X-H1 project. It was without a doubt, one of the more fulfilling and meaningful session I've had in Tokyo. The Fujifilm X-H1 review will be up on my channels this month, more updates coming your way!

It's a shame I didn't get a good vantage point for this photo. The #edomuseum is within Ryogoku next to the fame Kokugikan Sumo Stadium.

The last of my Tokyo Spring 2018 interview. On your left, Hosokawa san from #Sankyocamera in Higashi-Ginza. He is the current ICS President in Japan. It was such an honour to have interview Hosokawa san, I am greatly humbled to say the least. More grateful and appreciative of his interest to contribute his knowledge to this docu-series. ICS stands for "Imported Camera Society". Since 1972, Japan's ease in importation restrictions and increase in import volume, ICS was founded on the premise. Now they are 16 camera shops within this association. My trip at Sankyo followed with a relatively random encounter with fellow Singaporeans from @riceballphoto. 😂

This trip would not be complete without good photos. Here are 10 moments of my memory of our Mount Fuji trip that I'll like to share with you all.

The best trip I've had by far this Tokyo Spring 2018! Shout-out to @hai_huynh from the 1/2 of @notesofnomads for the amazing road trip. With @veritasbtold, we complete the trinity outfit to tackle Mount Fuji together! The 2 days shot span over 5 locations from 》Chureito Pagoda 》Fuji-Hakkei 》Kawaguchiko Lake 》Motosu-Lake 》Higashi-Moriyama. I'll definitely come back again next time to catch the Sakura bloom!

Yoyogi Park Ohanami organised by @cryve san was an eye opener for me and @veritasbtold. With over 30 film photography users attending, its really encouraging to see such a scale of event taking place on a regular basis. Shouldn't we film users get together more often to inspire each other to create more memories? Guess who won themselves a new film camera??

The big one has just landed on my hands! The moment has finally arrived to get upclose and personal with the Fujifilm X-H1! A shout-out to Murata san and Taiji san for their professionalism in making all of this a possibility. In the next 7 days, I will be testing 4 lenses through various shooting conditions, from Street, Lanscape and Night-trails. From the busy streets of Shibuya, the scenic view at Mt. Fuji and the seasonal Sakura at Chidorigafuchi. Plenty of subjects to choose from, so little time! The project will be titled as "Fujifilm X-H1, Tokyo Spring 2018 Review", I will be uploading my first-impressions later today.

An excellent session with Matsumura san in Kanagawa/Yokohama. What an honour to meet the man behind the film camera servicing business for #ohnukicamera and #mitsubadocamera. He basically handles the difficult and intricate repairs. 3rd generation since his grandfather, Matsumura san has over 10+years of commercial photography experience and 18+years of camera servicing under his belt. The one-man show operation is simply a feat on its own, he has an extensive knowledge in both photography (as seen in his prints) as well as restoration for vintage film cameras. I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon learning about his burning passion and desire to put a smile on everyone's faces through his workmanship.

Freshly grown right through the stem, these little flower will soon touch the ground in a weeks time.

Oh. Hi...we meet again Shinjuku.

Good Evening Shibuya.

I remember when it snowed in Shinjuku last week. After 6 years, finally caught some in Tokyo. #snowintokyo

One more week to a full Cherry Blossom bloom! That brings me to my 2nd last week here in Tokyo!

Blue hour at Odaiba, Rainbow Bridge. #IMCP_Rainbowbridge #IMCJP #UnknownJapan

Here's recap of some of my favorite moments of the @igersjp , @instameet.community.jp meet at Odaiba, Rainbow Bridge.

Flashback 5 days back, @hai_huynh from @notesofnomad hosted an incredible afternoon photowalk at Odaiba Rainbow Bridge. It is officially my first-ever in Tokyo and boy did I had loads of fun, made lots of new friends. Super fun time we had crossing the entire bridge. I'd reccomend you to join in if you ever come to Tokyo! A special shout-out to @_edo for the awesome introduction!

#Kikuyacamera is one of those places you simply cannot miss out if you are in the avenue for rare vintage camera accessories and of course film cameras. Tojyo san, is a hospitable and friendly man who has shown me nothing but politeness and friendliness. I enjoy the interview we had and didnt hesistate to purchase a few items from his shop right after. There is always something for everyone here at Kikuya Camera, drop by when you visit Ueno next time! (Kikuya is right next to exit A6 of the station!)
