About They don't actually sell seeds... it's just another demonstration of the rather tenuous link between any English you read in Japan and the original meaning... This is another kind of shop, like the drugstore, that regularly spills out onto the pavement. This is just a few yards from my office. Note the gesture towards Halloween, which has only recently entered the Japanese consciousness. I think I see the first slight problem with my new lens. Looks as if it has a bit of barrel distortion. Nice colour rendering, though...

Wow what a pretty photo Roger. I love how everything seems to be spilling out into the street. The well put together Japanese woman seems to be veeerrrry carefully looking things over...!
Thanks for your comment to me, and thanks for the suppport on the forum thread. I was a little unsure about getting something started, but I feel like someone has to speak up and I guess it was me this time!
Best reagards Rogers!

Thnak you so much Roger. You saved me from an awful painstaking testing and money wasting pocess and loss of good photo moments. Appreciate your input very much. Cheers.

Thanks... I don't like Halloween, either. Too many witches, devils and ghosts.

120 Film? Yes, definitely, Rob. You MUST try Fuji New Pro 400. The grain is good, like the 100 ISO emulsions of not so long ago, with beautiful natural colours and a loooong range of tones. You can always turn up the saturation if it isn't strong enough for you after that digital Canon you use. It has two unusual advantages. One is wide dynamic range, i.e., details in BOTH shadows AND highlights (not necessarily when you first look at your shots on the screen but apparent when you look at the details in PS, and therefore recoverable with the right treatment). Put another way, you can say it has broad exposure latitude. Also it has an amazing tolerance for mixed light sources. Oh, yes, and it scans well. What more could you ask? I will use nothing else on my two MF cameras--the Arax and the Voyageur. A lovely film.

I hate Halloween and the indoctrination of american culture displacing ours.
Good photowork.
I use Fuji 160C Pro now any suggestions for a 120 spool size film Roger?

I have always been amazed at how these shopkeepers can get so much stock into such a small store and then display it so artfully. I'm not sure if that really is barrel distortion. Perhaps shooting from a lower position would remedy what I think you are referring to.

Yes, the colours are excellent, Roger, as is the overall composition.
I do see a little barrel distortion top and bottom, but I doubt I'd have noticed it had you not mentioned it.
Best regards, Chris

This was a pleasant surprise. Looking at the thumbnail i thought this was a quaint little shop in my part of the woods (New England). Japan??? Beautiful shot Roger.

Thanks Vanessa. I don't know, I thought there was a slight bowing of the horizontal lines at the top of the picture. It's not too bad, so I didn't bother correcting it...
