Nikon Paradise
[posted at 14:06 GMT]    

After work today I went quickly back to hotel took a shower and than went on train to Akihabara, where yodobashi camera has huge place. First time I had chance to have Nikon F6 in my hands. I have only one thing to say WOW. That is THE CAMERA. Viewfinder is such we can only dream about and you from digital world, you can write science fiction about. It is a bit more heavier than my Nikon F100, but not too much. It sits perfectly in hand and the shutter is not silent, but it has very pleasant sound. Sound you expect from long lasting shutter. So take a look at the Nikon Paradise. And of course not only Nikon, but I was mostly focusing on that.
I bough also some inkjet papers just for testing in small formats. I had chance to see images on Epson Ultra Smooth Fine Art Paper and it is great paper indeed. Feel is perfect and images (black and white) looks very nice on it. Smallest size is A3. They had A3+ and A2. Price is too much for me, even here in Tokyo. Maybe one day when people start buying my prints regularly, I can start using this great paper, which one sheet will go as much as five euro.
I also saw monitor which really had extremely nice presentation of images. Samsung SyncMaster XL20. Costs here as much as 1000 euro, but images where great.
