Happy new year to everyone!
and
Hi Eric, here's just my pinch of salt
I prefer the colors with Flex - was it the same film? the Konica shots 
are not so alive due to "duller" colours, maybe it was simply the light 
there.
For the rest and on the whole I prefer your Flexes to your Konica 
perhaps, because of the framing?
In both cases some of them would have certainly gained had not so many 
people invaded the place - I know Asia is a fairly populated continent, 
but there are times when I find tourists most disturbing.
Well, I like your snaps anyway, and I wish I had taken them for sure.
Yours
Phileica (who's just bought a 70x3 by Angenieux for a New Year's Eve 
present to his selfish self ;-) )
