A trip to Lake Tōya, Hokkaido, with the Fujifilm X-Pro3. I paired the X-Pro3 with an Industar 50mm f/3.5, which delivers a field of view equivalent to about 75mm on full frame—a short telephoto perspective. The Industar has an unmistakably vintage character. Even in broad daylight, highlights bloom softly, as if a Black Mist filter were permanently attached to the lens. That distinctive rendering gives every frame a nostalgic, cinematic atmosphere, making it effortless to capture deeply evocative photographs. camera:fujifilm x-pro3 lens:industar 50mm F3.5 film:kodak ultramax #camera #fujifilm #xpro3 #富士フィルム #filmsimulation
SIGMA BF SIGMA is a long-established Japanese optical manufacturer based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa. At a time when many camera brands—including Sony, Canon, and even Leica, the company that pioneered the camera—have shifted much of their manufacturing overseas to countries such as China and Vietnam, SIGMA remains unique in designing, manufacturing, and assembling its cameras entirely in Japan. The name "BF" stands for Beautiful Foolishness, inspired by The Book of Tea by Okakura Tenshin. Japanese culture has long embraced beauty in seemingly impractical moments: watching cherry blossoms fall with the wind, appreciating the fleeting glow of a sparkler before it fades away, or finding comfort in the gentle sound of a wind chime on a summer day. These are not efficient acts. They are, in many ways, beautifully foolish. Yet they reflect a uniquely Japanese sensitivity—the ability to discover beauty in impermanence and simplicity. With the SIGMA BF, that philosophy has been transformed into a camera. Its radically simple design may even seem impractical by today's standards, but that is precisely its purpose: to slow down, observe the ordinary, and quietly preserve the beauty of everyday life. SIGMA BF is a camera created for those who believe that beauty often lies in beautiful foolishness. #sigma #sigmabf #シグマ #ミラーレス #camera
The Summicron 5cm f/2 was introduced in 1953 as the standard lens for the Barnack Leica. When used wide open, it produces a soft rendering, but stopping down to f/4 results in a sharp image. In today’s era where color photography is the norm, this lens was originally designed for black-and-white use, and the sharpness it delivers at f/4 can rival that of modern lenses. #summicron #leica #leicam240 #ライカ #camera
The Color-Skopar 35mm F2.5 is an affordable, compact pancake lens that pairs perfectly with a Leica. It delivers sharp rendering even at f/2.5, but since this was shot during the daytime, I stopped it down to f/8. #Voigtlander #leicacamera #leicam #桜 #camera
After debating whether to use a Leica or the Sigma fpL, I ended up taking the Sigma fpL today. The advantage of its high resolution is that even with a prime lens, you can use the crop function to effectively get a medium telephoto field of view. It’s incredibly convenient. Still… I found myself missing the Leica. #sigma #sigmafp #sigmafpl #ミラーレス一眼 #桜
