My wife and I went to Japan back in June and had an incredible time exploring this fantastic and beautiful country. I posted a thread of the film pictures I took there (https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/pentax-mx-in-japan-59461) and now that I've finished processing the digital ones, I thought I'd post some favourites.

You can see everything in these two Flickr albums:

For anyone thinking of going, I thoroughly recommend it. These were all taken with the K3 and most with the DA limiteds - 15, 21 and 35mm but also some with the 18-55 WR and the A 28mm f/2.8, though I had a couple of other lenses I used occasionally. Changing lenses was a chore but I enjoy using primes and am glad a took the DA limiteds rather than the Tamron 17-50mm on this occasion.

All images from the city of Tokyo and surrounding areas, including Hakone and Kamakura.

Comments and feedback very welcome.

Some super images there. It looks like a great trip. I especially like the 2nd and 6th images.

I'm off to find your film images now...

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
