I started this journey with way too much camera gear, and in the end it was my smallest and lightest prime lens that gave me most of the joy. Join me for a short visit to Japan and a chat about why 35mm is such a marvellous focal length for this wonderful country.

A huge thanks to the team at @HeritageExpeditions who made this journey possible for me and our workshop group. I’m really lucky to have had the chance to travel with them so often over the past few decades. They’re a small company based in New Zealand, and have a track record of putting together quality adventures to remote locations with superb guides and crew. Can recommend!

Thanks also to Panasonic Australia for the loan of their Lumix S9 and the marvellous F1.8 series of prime lenses. If you want to know more about my I love this little camera, have a look at my recent video that delves into my custom setup for the S9: https://youtu.be/gdb8Cqmw5Xw
