Vehicle maintenance

When starting the motor of VW Golf GTI, some troublesome memory occurred in my mind. Excessive rotating and vivelating movement, pitching, is discerned every starting first combusting time, this is nothing but the symptom of Engine mount and transmission mount wear at all. It is a very natural phenomena for Golf to have such a tendency, I have experienced Audi A3 ABA 8P-CAX.

Sustained pressure on the cushioning rubber will cause permanent deformation. If it supports the weight of an engine and transmission burdening 200 kg, this would often happen after 10 years. Not only the wear because of ordinary driving use but also continuous natural gravity pressure is the reason.

Troublesome and sweat work is waiting for me, in addition it's replacement parts expenses.

That's what the consumer distribution economy is like.

Genko-an Kyoto

One of the most famous place is Genko-an sutuating Norse-western portion of Kyoto city. The round enlightenment window and the square Window of confusion. I dropped in the place on Wednesday this week. Beautiful Buddhist decoration were scattered everywhere, no inhibbit for photo shooting. Every visitor will not be disappointed to come here with a distance. Smell of Northern Kyoto would so tasty. 400 yen per an adult is reasonable. Public Kyoto City bus is supplied for every 20 minutes. Shijo-Omiya is a suitable Hankyu Railway St.. Middle of November will be favorable for Reddish leaves.

Change of Air

 

I have leaded my life in my country for 75 years in the safest circumstantial condition in the  world, for the sake of the extraordinary alliance with US. But, it sounds good to be an alliance, and we claim to be an independent nation, in reality our government is a puppet regime that is completely dependent on the United States. 

US controls us thoroughly by scattering US Military bases all over our country, over 100 in number. Consequently, we have been put under the control by her politically and economically since our unconditional surrender to the alliancy countries 80 years ago. In addition, we are the only enemy country in the world opposing to the group, it's very strange ---? It's true that the fact is clearly written in the United Nations Charter!

To tell the truth, I'm completely bored this warm water spring condition! Changing of air method in my residual life, it occurred in my mind!

Yes, moving to South America, Peru! This is an indispensable opportunity to change my residual span of life!

Even if I think about myself, I have nothing special left to remember here, almost I have done what I wanted.

15 years younger cousin had some inconvenience, he has been suffering from Cerebrovascular disease that happened harf a year ago here.

His sister who married to a Peruvian wants to take him there, I will accompany with them to take care of him together with them. Not so easy but not so difficult for me, because my former occupation was a healthcare professionals.

Let's see what will happen in very near future.

Our distorted constitution can keep refusing?

Weapons should be used actually in the battles and conflict to be proved their potential, and modification and improvement should be repeated to increase performance. Just designed and used under mock training is not enough to be established as practical weapons.

Those supplied for Our Self Defence Power made in domestic factories should be done enough sufficient research and development---unreasonable constitution prevents to be applied them in the actual combats in foreign countries.

Not a few conflicts occurr in the main points now! Then, is it possible to continue to refuse the proposal by US government??  Export our powers to the necessary fronts in the world is the critical duty if we have indispensable alliancy? 

Our faded-80 year-old constitution is of no use under urgent emergency?

 

Southeast Asia Treaty Organization

The only Asian country that sided with the Allied Powers in the last war. China's presence will not have a big impact, but it may join if the current communist regime changes. Above all, the establishment of a treaty organization will be essential to counter the world's worst gangster nation, the United States. In some cases, it may join with the former Warsaw Pact nations.

The Asian countries that won their independence from the United States, Britain, and other European colonial nations will naturally want our country to be the representative of the new organization.

As the only country in the world to have been attacked by nuclear weapons, it is only natural that we have the right to nuclear armaments. All the surrounding countries are nuclear-armed nations with different regimes. This is only natural, as we are surrounded by them.

Our country has established rocket technology and already has supremacy over the world.

Unless we remove the more than 100 US military bases that are spread out over the whole of Japan, from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu and Okinawa in the south, unreasonably hidden in the chaos of the defeat, our country cannot be truly independent. 

Yes, dissolution of US-Japan Security Treaty and Pseudo Alliancy!

We are fed up with the current situation, where we are being forced to submit by force and the US is making strange demands.

The replicon vaccine factory under construction in our country must be immediately closed. It is not acceptable to use Japanese citizens as guinea pigs for drugs that modify genes.

Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki attacked by US as The Nuclear Experiments on Humans! Do we accept the same again?

Isn't it about time We stood up as "The land of Goddes, Japan"?

My old friend

I was impressed by what a high-ranking Israeli official said to me about the current situation in our country, where we are not attacked by any enemy countries. "Japan is like another planet". In Haifa, it is natural for young female soldiers to carry Uzi small machine guns on their shoulders like handbags and to stand guard in the city. They do not know when a bus will explode in a terrorist attack. Rockets and missiles fall from the sky. They are always in a tense state, close to death. 

On the other hand, we have never heard the sound of gunpowder exploding, and have never even seen a handgun. The same goes for our soldiers, who only see them during disaster relief. Also, those who mistakenly believe that the reason we are not invaded from the outside is because of the peace constitution and the non-war constitution shout against the Self-Defense Forces. We only know about war on TV screens, so it is difficult for us to realize how naive and peace-dazed we are, immersed in the warm waters of the Resort health center. 

From Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu and Okinawa in the south, there are more than 100 US military bases for the US's Asia-Middle East strategy, and certainly not for the protection of the Japanese people or Japan. No, if we maintain the US military bases, it may indirectly become like that, but don't get me wrong, the US has no intention of fighting for the Yellow Monkey any more. Our country is merely being conveniently used for the US's world domination, which was already planned when Captain Matthew C. Perry arrived at Shimoda in 1853. 

US invited so horrible method to carry out their original strategy. Our country has been attacked twice by nuclear weapons, so we are the only country in the world that has the right to possess nuclear weapons as a matter of fact. We are not shouting about non-nuclearism because we have suffered terrible things and are scared. The more we shout about it, the more we should understand that we are promoting nuclear powers. We are intentionally educated without being taught modern history. We are completely controlled by external forces. Instead of learning from "Broadcast information" on TV, newspapers, and radio, we should accurately grasp the current situation from "Communication information" and search history not from the past, but from the present to the past. We would naturally come to the same conclusion. 

When we are exposed to low-level, non-stop information, the burden on the brain stem is small, so we are brainwashed without realizing it. As a result, our five senses degenerate. This is what they mean when they say that 100 million people are becoming idiots.

Remember that we cannot battle with them except gaining cunning and sly, not with the concept of Justice like an infant.

Let's look up the blue and peaceful sky, but the same as the center of the biggest Typhoon, don't you think?

Our peace will last?

A year ago, when the conflict in the Gaza Strip flared up again and 40,000 people had already died, I feared Hezbollah's participation. Because if things continued like this, it would develop into a real war. It is completely different from Hamas, the Gaza militia that continues to resist with homemade rockets, and Syria, which supports this organization, a de facto army deployed in southern Lebanon, is supported by Russia. 

However, if Syria as a state launches a missile attack on Israel, it will not end well. Israel, which has vowed to retaliate, will naturally take action, and the conflict will not remain a fight between states, but will develop into a full-scale war. This is bound to happen. The United States and NATO are still secretly supporting Ukraine, even though they have already lost. Exhausted by the rigid situation, they will shift their focus from Ukraine to the two countries, rekindling the de facto US-Russia proxy war. 

People who have fallen into a world of madness will not understand ethics, morality, or social conventions, and will kill each other until the energy of anger and sadness is fully released. Just like us in the past, world peace will be fleeting and ugly massacres will be repeated again. Foreigners are starting to flee Lebanon and Syria. US and other concerned nations' warships are being sent to the shores of Beirut. These places will be flooded with refugees again. 

When will the world learn the concept of so-called sincerity? I sincerely hope that this will not lead to World War 3.
 

A matter for pity and regret

In the world of politics, where all sorts of demons and monsters live, common sense doesn't work. I feel like I lost out by getting my hopes up. It was the same during the Tokyo gubernatorial election, wasn't it? In a world where common sense doesn't work, you never know what will happen with the power of money. This trend is the same worldwide. How do you explain the current situation where people who speak the orthodox lose and cunning people who are good at playing tricks win? That's right, it's to children and the younger generation. I wonder how they explain this in the United States, which preaches about justice. 

If we teach lies to the next generation of young people, the same thing will be repeated with the next generation.

Cluster Amaryllis

Seeking cluster amaryllis as a shooting object, I went to Kameoka as usual but in vain. So, drove I to Daikakuji, also in vain, how come? Too early or too late might be a reason. Judging for a blog by a professional photographer, he said too early in Ohara. 

Golf 7 GTI does not bring any fatigue after 6 hours drive with highway and ordinary road, it's because she is a one of the vest vehicle in the world. 

Modified MD Rokkor 35mm/f2.8 by removing posterior module performs well today. Though Z8 weighs a little bit heavier, it's easy to handle as a reliable instrument. MD Macro Rokkor 50mm/f3.5 was accompanied with me today just because of light weight.

Rokkor-PF 45mm/f1.8 donnored by a rangefinder camera Minolta Skymatic 7 must be tried sooner or later. Letter P means 5 group and F means 6 element as Minolta's classification. 

Talking about the difficulty in the designing because of the mirror box existence, it does not be influenced by it if put on the rangefinder body. This is why I prefer the lenses before the SLR period. Not a few modified lenses are waiting for  me untested. Most of them have been done with SONY E-mount, so they are mounted on Nikon Z mount body without any modification if Z-E mount adapter should be set between them of course without any interchanging electric signals.

Nikon F-mount Micro Nikkor 105mm/f4.0 was obtained from Yahoo auction at 1,750 yen, it was Bingo, like a new! Talking about it, I had often applied it in my professional field accompanying with single small strobo by way of Washington Instrument Company's tool.

No complaint about the image quality for 15 years, but I sold it away few years ago, but some regret remained in my heart. This is why I got it  again. Just a little bit heavier compared with Minolta MD Macro 100mm/f4.0, it must be worth introducing, inner cylindrical construction of brons helicoid construction as a durable goods. The result would be later.

A monster product

SONY announces newly developed medium format image sensor, 53.5X40, a diagonally 64.84 mm (Type 4.1) CMOS active type image sensor with square pixel array and 247.04 M effective pixels. 

We appreciate the biggest effort by the engineers in the field.Do we have a new generation on the image quality, especially in the field of uncountable phenomena, transparency, openness and airiness? 

Quiffy item

A charming lens for Nikon Z mount I advocated in these days?

I said to myself that I should not pay attention on any lens because I have enough already, but a fascinating one appeared with good passionable smell just as if some mischievous Dolly Quiff, perfect & fashionable!

I pretend as if I have no intention to have any relations with such a frivolous and superficial young girl, but I concentrate on her ultimately as a matter of fact. My innate bad habit never be conquered until going up to Heaven.

On the other hand, I have not yet absorbed some experienced datum on 33x44 format in relation with modified lenses, Minolta MD 35/2.8 and Zuiko 9~18 zoom.

The potential in Nikon Z8 on Digital correction of distortion would be checked after the former experimental trials.

Yes, next target would be Nikkor Z 14~30mm/f4.0 S!

Mid-Autumn Moon!

Mid-Autumn Moon, or the Harvest-Moon tonight. Is it possible to observe the same next year? 

Effective Drugs or poisons?

Because so to speak Yellow Monkey as we are Japanese Race, then why is it wrong to utilize us as an experimental trial for Pandemic Vaccination? Our Policy by the Authority is decided to make up mRNA Vaccine in 100 days in Japan, we are the only nation to contribute to the Global Economy by serving  ourselves as the Experimental Animals, Yellow Monkey, Goim. As the last datum show, 80% of us accepted mRNA vaccination already and we are so easy nation to be controlled if only excessive fear were applied. Like a mass sheep group following the sound of guiding bell. We are looked down on enough by the Satan people!

The leader of this movement is Minister Takemi, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Have we fallen so low that we are being subjected to animal testing by some strong external power? 

Have we lost our dignity as human beings?

Complet occupation by US after WW2, 80 years ago, War Guilt Iｎformation Program is so successful as to make forget us the degnity of  "Goddes Coutry Japan"? 

As Hideki Tojo said before execution, now our country is controlled by the inner power who flatter foreign powers.

A second lieutenant Hiroo Onoda who kept combatting in Lubang island as long as 30 years more after the thrender, he left Japan to Brazil because he could not accept the Society based on Puppet Japanese Government under US controlling.

US Asian controlling strategy since Perry in 1853 looked successful after WW2 US Pacific Front and New York Times told so after Japanese Unconditional Thrender. 

But, this time they are going to do that so fundamentally. 

"Complete Destruction of Japanese Nation"---Genetically would be carried out! 

The factories that produce Replicon RNA Vaccine are under construction in our country!

Only a moment now, only money and myself only, such a stupid and poor idea shall not valid at all.

It's not too late to realize ourselves by opening our half closed eyes!

Evening Thunder

Loud thunder sound suddenly happened this evening with shower, showing the change of air pressure balance, change of seasons, Summer to Autumn, high temperature in the day time will be reduced day by day.

My nephew collapsed due to a cerebrovascular accident, and my sister's niece came back from overseas to look after him. 

What will be going on in future---I might be of help to them?

KITTE Osaka

KITTE Osaka was built up with the concept of fashionable person, items and affairs at the Southern West ward of JR Osaka station. The place was that of former Osaka Central Post, this is why named following the Japanese pronunciation of post stamp. 

So interesting and eye-opening construction as it is at the beginning, similar with Kyoto station, people will be bored sooner or later. Nothing interesting was found in spite of hi-expectations.

Just because of new construction visitor will come, but no further more. We need something more?

Just a glancing for foreign visitors might be prevailing.

Change of policy

Rissyu has already gone, but outside temp is still higher in the daytime.

I resigned all the photo schools I had been participated and I became an applicant of the newer one. The teacher takes us around to some rare rocations six times for half a year but without any comments nor corrections. Though I have been thinking that comments by the professional are worth to be attentioned, repeating the same procedure for several years proved that such study came to be enough for me.

This is why I have chosen this course by a relatively old female photo professional. Repeated experience for a long time must show me some new findings, so I hope.

Preliminary inspection and location scouting for the next shooting led me to Abe Monjy-in the other day, though rainy a bit. 

The second shooting place is Mt. Kasuga Primeval Forest, and I'll try very soon.

The third one is the night scenery at Sakishima Osaka, carrying tripod must be required.

The First Nagisa Park at the Southern East portion of Biwa lake, Chusho-jima and Ishibutai Aska follow respectively. 

Recent affairs

Typhoon #10 with extraordinarily strong power lost the way because balanced high pressure disappeared resulting to straying low pressure bringing just much rainfall. Fortune telling circle is large and displaces it's position unexpectedly, how come? Anyway, we cannot ignore its attitude until this weekend.

Climate changes after every visiting of Typhoon, as usual.

I could obtain the long wanted item through Yahoo Auction at 1,000 yen, Minolta MD Zoom 35~70mm/f3.5 first model that is the same design with Leitz Vario Elmar license production. 

The condition of the lens is unexpectedly favorable as not to require any further  maintenance. The performance will be revealed with the test shooting on Nikon Z8 very soon. 

Donk or Yank?

Tomorrow is the day we were attacked by US with Nuclear Bomb in Hiroshima 80 years ago. In addition, they did the same on Nagasaki.

Hundreds of thousands of our compatriots were burned to death into ashes. Though US president came to Hiroshima few years ago, no apology was done. In the US declassified documents released, the derogatory term "JAP" is used without shame.

We must make it clear that US never regards us as a humanbeing---just a yellow monkey. Remember here again, US is not a respected nation for us at all.

When you are asked, "Chinese or Japanese, which nese are you?" 

You should ask back to the Yankee, "Donk or Yank, which k are you?" 

45 Mpic on full frame, Z8

Version Up to 2.01 firmware on Z8 inhibited the Focus Aide in EVF, how come? It was my favorable function to enjoy manual focusing step, but it was not so helpful but just for fun, because I was used to apply magnifying function utilizing image enlarging to 14X. So, focusing Aide was not always necessary for me.

45 Mpicel in full frame image circle is my unexperienced world, and 16 mm depth flunge back distance allows all the SONY E mount lenses I'm keeping, SONY genuine ones don't work well  through mount adapter, electric relations do not work well. Consequently, I'm playing with third parties and modified ones without any elctric signal inter-relations.

Though 33x44, 24x16 and MFT had been experienced, 45 Mpic full frame is the first time for me, further report later.

Osaka Yodo-River Firework tonight

It's a very hot tropical night, but the sound of the Yodogawa fireworks echoes even here, 10km away. Yes, today is the usual fireworks day. It's so crowded around Hankyu Juso that it's probably impossible to walk properly. The young employees have packed their bags with alcohol and snacks and are heading out. I can only pray that I won't get into an accident. I used an unfamiliar knife and cut my left index finger. The wound wasn't deep, about 1mm depth and 5mm long, but there was a fair amount of bleeding. I applied an antibiotic paste to the area and also took it. I hope the inflammation should be minimal.

NIKON Z8

The most sophisticated full frame mirrorless camera is Nikon Z8, so some rumor says. It was supplied to me by my son accidentally recently. Remember the past, my photographic equipment are all supplied in the same way unintentionally.

SONY A9 has been contributing for my photo hobby without specific dissatisfaction and all the lenses I'm keeping are E mount by way of any adapter rings, most of them are manual focusing system.

As for my surprise, Z8 model has "Focusing Aid" formed at left lower corner, this is really a great gospel for a manual focusing user like myself, remembering the silversalt period with NIKON F autofocusing period. Also Basic with star mark setting shows the same by color transformation from red square to green one. 

Relatively heavy with 900 gr weight as Z8 is, it's body bulk could make it possible to hold even with a little finger so firmly, stoutness is one of the most indispensable requirement I declare. Especially, in case of some long forcal length lens setting up, this condition proves this phenomena in addition to the diameter of the bayonet flange. 

APS-C E mount is fragile easily distorted and not suit with heavy lenses. On the other hand, SONY A9 lacked this physical property because of too small body design, though another performances are almost perfect. In addition, all the SONY genuine lenses are interchangeable on NIKON Z mount without any inconvenience, no matter how electric interaction might exist or not.

Consequently, a newcomer Z8 with 45 megapixel image sensor would be one of an essential equipment from now for sure. 

Jane's Law

Cicada started to cry this morning for the first time this Summer. I feel one year like five days interval, this is Jane's Law.

Before long Radio News told that Mr. Trump was shot while his allocation, but he was not killed.

Conflicts repeats all the time because of money!

Human being is still now animal.

Inbound recovered

Since COVID19 disastor, foreigh tourists have increased in number, let's say Inbound has recovered recently.

Early in the morning around 7:30 AM, I visited Fushimi-Inari Shrine since 1 year interval. Most of the visitors there were from some foreign coutries and around 9 o'clock, it became crowded as usual week day. Though a bit far from the central Kyoto, Fushimi-Inari Shrine must be so popular among foreign visitors, also so to speak Inbound recovered as before. JR Kyoto line and Keihan Line have each stations at very close places .

Shooting objects there were similar with last year for me but different. 

 

Rotten heart!

Poisoned and rotten people brought this disastrous result. US planned War Guilt Information Program performed 80 years ago is still now available and people follow after a bell sound like a group of sheep.

So far as we follow US power so blindly, our military force would be obliged to fight with some enemy country. Our no war constitution will never take effect at all. 

Our revolution!

Tonight, on Tanabata, a revolution will take place in Tokyo. It will depend on the outcome of the Tokyo gubernatorial election. 

If we miss this critical opportunity to bring about a revolution, the miserable slave state will continue to exist for a long time to come. 

The true character of our people will be put to the inspection test.

It will blow a hole right through the hierarchy of Japanese society, which is based on money-driven culture.

 We await good news until dark.

On 33x44 format? Incredible usage of Zuiko Digital 9~18mm/f4.0~5.6!

Zuiko OM system MF mount onto GFX flange was fabricated in the condition of establishing infinity focusing with its installed shortest fuselage.

Focusing performance is done by rotating zooming ring from installed position to extending to functional designed position, with so quick action, sometimes difficult to focus at the desired position, because the rotation of zoom ring is made with applying of focusing action. Irregular use increases fliction resistor. In short, all the group and element move when focusing.

This kind of out-law, distorted, crazy and unusual modification is worth doing to put a 7.20mm focal distance lens on the large format, 33x44.

As a matter for big surprize, Zuiko Digital Zoom 9~18 for Micro 4/3 is fully applicable on large format especially if  16:9 aspect ratio is set.

Remember here, no irreversible modification on the original Micro Four thirds bayonet flange mount at all.

Let's say it just interesting! 

ASO 98th Regular Concert Nishinomiya

In spite of dull and lazy season these days, time passes so quickly, just last Saturday we had best evening.

The 98th regular concert by Ashiya Symphony Orchestra was held in good mood at KOBELCO Big hall in Hyogo Municipal Art and Cultural Center Nishinomiya.

The good conductor Mrs. Yoko Matsuo did great job as usual. In addition to the reply with standing obeytion. 

Hydrangea is at their best

Now Hydrangea is at their best in Osaka Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park Flower Valley. Better visit here before the temperature becomes higher. Osaka Metro to Kadoma-Minami direction, one station prior, is the most convenient traffic. In addition to the greenhouse "Sakuya Konohana-Kan",  visitors would enjoy here all day long. No gate of the park is formed, so shooting photo early in the morning is available. About food and drink, Lawson at the Western end of the station would be helpful.
