Good Day Flexers.
I put some courage in my rush bag to roam at this exhibition under pouring rain
on the way to the hall.

This year, more centered toward photography & cameras, less on travels, wedding
and various photobooks.
The Fuji booth was overcrowded while Leica, across the alley had almost no
visitors, no cameras to show as well, most Inside antitheft displays. At least
Fuji had a lot of hardware & staff to answer questions:

I hear many complaning about the accessories shop lifting, in all booths.
Whatever.
It was nice to use the Fuji X100T, complex tool but lovely. As usual, the
Olympus OM D had the best EVF compared to most, the latest Oly 40-150mm F2.8
showed through the visor the clarity we know from our Leica Reflex Lenses.
Hefty too.
The funniest product came from Panasonic, the GM5, sort of modern Leica CL,
mounting the m43 lens. The camrea is so tiny, so pocketable, nice.
I had my share of laugh at the Lomography booth, they showed a lomo LCA 120,
new medium format based on the known LCA specs. The Instant film camera seems
to attract a lot of people too, at Fujifilm equally.
They re edited the Russar 20mm F5.6 in the LTM mount, brass construction. That
lens was a dream when younger, could not find any at that time. It was a new
day yesterday, it's an old day by now.....
Then I went back home, having a rest with my dog both happy to be reunited (pic

All this comes from the Fuji X20, prefered over the X30, largely.
Cheers.
