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.
