Feeling tons of homesickness at the moment, so I am going to write about cameras in Japan! / by James Sato

Hello all!

So, with another Friday arriving during my time in Japan, I am struck with homesickness with the impending return to the United States and another year added to my age with my birthday coming in a couple weeks.

To get over this, I will write about my latest trip to the Japanese electronics supergiant Yodobashi Camera to get some new camera equipment. Japan is what you call a camera Shangri-la, you can find a large selection of camera equipment of every facet at almost every Japanese electronics store.

The entire lower section of the building is the Yodobashi Camera store. It is huge!!!

Here is the camera section at my local Yodobashi camera, which is actually a smaller sized Yodobashi from my experience!

Over half of the ground floor of the store!

They really have everything, they even had specialized photography clothing.

And of course bags!

But what I really came here for today was filters.

Every size and type!!!

I came in search for a $20 filter, and I found it!

I hope this can help me improve the quality of certain shots I make, especially since I do mostly outdoor pictures!

Here is a comparison!

Well, I like the results at the moment, so let's see how things go!
