Wow! This photo just feels so right and I love the scenery and how everything in the background helps you to focus on the woman! Great shot!

I use the 40 mm with Olympus 35 sp, the 24 and 90mm on a film or digital Nikon camera, but I sold the 90mm to buy a Leica IIIF...But the voiglander lens wich i prefer it's the 420mm f4.5 heliar for large format, but it's another world...
And i would like to buy the 21mm for my Leica...
But for now no more purchase

I see. I think you know your gear quite a bit better than I do. I've honestly never used anything besides a 35mm DSLR. I'm interested in using range finders, but I'm very lazy with getting into film and I can't afford a digital one right now.

wich lens is it ? Not a Nikon lens ? Voigtlander ? Really sharp lens !? Are you happy with ?

It's a Voigtlander 40mm f/2. I love this lens. I almost never leaves my camera! It's very sharp wide open, it's very small and light, and it produces a great quality image. The only caveat is that it's manual focus only. I love shooting with manual focus so it's perfect for me, but for those who prefer AF, this is a major drawback. However, I am a major proponent of using MF for street photography!

Ok cool thank for the information, voigtlander made good lenses i love the 90mm apo lanthar for portrait and macro, and i think the 24mm and 40mm are perfect for street photo better than the 35mm but it's just my opinion.

That is a fair opinion!

I still wonder how they can put so much layers (even for a yukata...I had like 3 layers u__u without counting the bra and pants duh !) when Japan is sooooo hot and humid during summer....
Anyway, nice shot, so quiet and soft. there's also a intriguing perspective between her and the metro entrance, I would not be able to explain though

I can only imagine how hot it gets. Even though this was taken in early May and it was a relatively cool day, I would still be way too hot in a kimono.

I love your picture! The moment you have chosen to take this allusions between the past and the future.

Ah yes, I can see the same woman but instead of a phone, she has a book in her hands, and the background is old Edo.
