素晴らしい, MonkeyRonin. You really captured what a "solid" city looks like, in reference to another thread in City Discussions on Los Angeles.

Another great journey MR. Love the endless flow of urban and human elements. Japan looks certainly an experience not to be ever forgotten.

This set of photos needs to be on some article in National Geographic or some other famous publication. Very excellent. I hope I am blessed in this life to visit Tokyo and Japan in general.

Japan's urbanism makes me wanna sing, it's perfect.

Tokyo is humanity's greatest marvel, excellent photos.

I know this thread was bumped, but great shots. Can I ask what focal range you're working with on the zoom shots?

On most photography sites I've seen, they're always pressing ultra wide angle zooms for street photography, but I much prefer the compression of telephoto zooms, especially when the subject is people in the urban environment. One of the things I really struggle with, though, is balancing not wanting to stand out too much in a crowd while still getting the shots I want. I have a Canon M6 and use an adapter for L glass (both a speedbooster and the regular Canon adapter). Do you think the 24-105 on a crop sensor is enough reach to achieve the level of subject isolation I see in these shots? Or do I need to step up to the ~250-300mm range?

I usually only take 2 lenses with me: an all-purpose 18-135mm, and a 35mm for the handheld night shots. Most of the "compressed" shots are probably taken somewhere in the 55mm to 135mm range then - so you should be in good shape to get a decent telephoto effect with a <105mm. I like to shoot from a distance, but not too distant.

If you're able to look up the EXIF data, you should actually be able to see the focal length of each shot if you wanted a reference.

Thanks. I have a 22mm f2 on a crop for similar night situations, and I guess with the standard adapter I'm in about the same range with the L. For some reason it just looked like you were using a super zoom or something.

I was trying to get EXIF but there wasn't a link to your Flickr account. I don't have the ability to view EXIF on my work computer that I'm aware of.
