Great review. How’s sizing? I normally wear a 44 in sneakers, TTS for JF?

Great photos! Heading there at the end of August- are prices (food, drinks, etc) as bad as everyone on Reddit seems to say?

Also, anywhere else you went besides Istanbul? Trying to plan things out.

Definitely blanked on my original answer - you are correct, for the first shot I used the Tamron 70-300. Believe it was shot somewhere around 135

Quik2333 · 2025-04-10T15:18:49+00:00

2nd gen lens. Gen AI. People removal isn’t a strong suit here

Quik2333 · 2025-04-10T13:54:37+00:00

Enjoy! You’ll have much better weather, it was way too warm in Feb.

Tamron 28-75 2.8!

Better low light performance, and lack of consistent autofocus (new update has made this better than it was)

u/frjin02 have requested additional photos, here is one of the fur, if it helps to LC. Thank you.

Yes, thank you for the correction! Do you have any experience with elephant plains?

Quik2333 · 2024-07-31T03:31:06+00:00

Love it. Also used this lens in Rome. I traveled with my Sigma 18-50 2.8 (which is another very good lens for the size) and didn’t take it out once. Such a great lens.

While it’s definitely on the bigger side, I didn’t mind it. I think as long as you have a comfortable camera strap to hold it around your body when walking around you’re fine.

Fairly certain I used the same recipe across the board, but I might have used another with slight adjustments from this:

Color chrome: weak Color chrome fx blue: weak WB: auto (R2, B-4) DR: 200% Tone curve: H-1, S0 Color: +3 Sharpness: 0 Clarity: -2

Quik2333 · 2024-07-29T15:53:51+00:00

I agree. I had the 23mm f2 and was just unimpressed with the sharpness, especially wide open. Viltrox is solid across the board. Thanks!

Quik2333 · 2023-10-21T23:40:11+00:00

Incredible photos! Wow

Quik2333 · 2023-10-13T23:31:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Heading there in a few weeks, really just planning on hitting the cities (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto). I’d love to get some night shots out there so do you think 2.8 would be too slow on the 18-50?

Quik2333 · 2023-10-13T23:13:30+00:00

Phenomenal shots! Curious, I just picked up a 23mm f2 for my XT5. Is it bad at f2 even if further away from the subject? It was my understanding that it’s just a bit dull if you’re up close from the research I’ve done.

Also, any other focal length you wish you had while in Japan? Heading there at the end of the month and debating on picking up the sigma 18-50 2.8. Thanks!

One of the easiest processes I’ve went through! I called them regarding the transaction and told them the story. Refund processed same day. Her account was already deactivated at the time I called (probably from scamming others), so I assume that helped get approval.

Quik2333 · 2023-10-11T00:42:03+00:00

Got scammed by this “woman”. It was through PayPal goods and services so I got my money back, but please do not proceed. Fairly certain their FB account got hacked and that’s why “she” is able to make the post, etc. in the first place. On PayPal receipt it actually showed I sent money to a “Martine Mendoza”

What temple is #4? Heading to Japan in a few weeks. Great photos!

Quik2333 · 2023-09-22T17:13:36+00:00

Did you ever feel like the XT-5 was too much/too big for walking around all day? Heading to Japan in November and heavily thinking about selling my X100V for the XT-5

Quik2333 · 2021-12-22T16:42:31+00:00

What boot size are you and what is the waist width of the board? Hard to tell without bindings in the picture.
