Oh my gosh, that intro🔥 I’m really loving these Japan videos and I can see how inspired you are. Looking forward to the next one.

Such a great video! Visually stunning, the photos are all bangers, and that intro is sooo good! Really looking forward to the upcoming nature hike videos!

Amazing video! Been really enjoying the Japan content! Can’t wait for more.

Great pics Joe! Could really feel the vibes of rainy tokyo through the video!

Soooo glad to see you both back in Japan. Just something about it makes your Japan videos my favorite.

Wow! What an amazing intro! And such lovely shots!

The colors of the video and pictures are so GOOD!!!❤❤❤

Beautifully done, really needed this for Monday inspiration. Interested to see what comes next, and how you handle Chris in his literal fighting form up a mountain. Would love to see one or two of the more documentary style vids that you made previously in Japan, but I realise those must be a lot more work and planning. Wish you all the best, go get yourselves som curry ramen when the winter cold hits!

Very cool video. Most definitely the rain, the lights, the people and being at night gave it a very good mood since all photos look awesome. The intro was fire man!

Awesome video, Joe. I live in this area and all the locations you captured so beautifully are really familiar to me. Shinjuku in the rain is a great place for photography. Enjoy the rest of your time here.

Always loved your videos, but this intro even put it up a notch! Looks right out of a movie that I just need to watch.

It's been raining heavily here in Bangkok every day, and this is the dry season. Love the colours in this, the warmer colour bold against the cooler blacks. Gives that feeling of a city continuing to pulsate despite the rain.

Legit intro really set the tone and had me straight back in Tokyo. I love night time rain shoots, rug up in warm clothes, eat food 😂 and hopefully get some keepers too.

That intro!!!!! So good 🔥Loving your work man!

Excellent. The train clips are so cinematic.

Incredible intro/edit!!! Great job Joe. Thank you so much for all of your passion and insight, your positive enthusiasm has affected countless people around the WORLD.!! keep up the great work. Thank you so much. A long time follower and fan from Canada. (p.s. I am finally going to Tokyo this spring, and you were a direct influence) Thanks again. Ill be looking for trains.👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂

Hi Joe! Good to see you in Japan again 🎉 Could you share X-T series filming settings? Can’t wait to take some videos in Japan next month!

Can't believe you kept Ellie out in the rain for 5 hours, poor girl hehehe. Love how easy your transfer is, my Sony is a bit of an adventure - I need to talk sweetly with it before it will work!

Killer opening

Such a cool intro

Agree on the X-H2S, it’s the best camera released in 2022. Bought me back to Fujifilm along with great lenses like 23 1.4 WR, 56 1.2 WR and 18 1.4 WR. The X-H2S is so good, I’m considering a second body.

BEAUTIFUL!!! I was there in winter of 1992 in the rain shots but I was using film that I shot about 192 rolls, but I came home with 300 rolls if film shooting in Tokyo, and Kamakura, and Had to buy more film there - Still it was worth it.... And still waiting to go back there again.... for more shooting Film, & Digital. - I do not have the cabinets that you mentioned but have seen them, But I do use Reusable Silica Gel that I use my oven to reheat them from Red back to Blue setting, and I check them every 6 to 8 months. Thank You 😀😀😀⛩🎞🎞📸📸

Absolutely in love with this lens. Gorgeous images and the ergonomics are just excellent.

Always love your contents and photos! Been following you for quite some time. Thank you for your work and relentless enthusiasm for what you do. Just one thing though: seeing your cameras without the hotshoe cover on in the rain scares me! 🤣 i saw a video by Reggie Ballesteros and he was talking about water will get into the camera if the hotshoe is exposed.

Shit a cool and rocky intro.

I had the same isssue with my X-H2s viewfinder fogging up on a recent stormy-weather trip. It’s seemed fine since then… Noticed any linger impact on your camera?

Regarding the dehumidifier cabinets. I'm not going out in the rain for most shooting, but they are worth it due to the humidity in the Japanese summer. Don't want to risk a fungus infection appearing somewhere in a camera or lens. Mines setup to maintain 45% (I'm a bit cautious of going lower than that because you risk making rubber brittle.) This weekend, I got myself a X-H2 and XF56 1.2 WR. So, I needed to dig up a 67mm size protector filter from my stash of filters. Unfortunately, my 67mm ones hadn't been stored in the dehumidifier, instead in normal storage over a period of about 2 years I think. Yep, it was dirty looking and impossible to clean! So, off to the shop to buy a new lens protector filter. So, yeah, worth having the cabinet if longer term settled here. As for heavy duty dehumidify-ing. I'd probably not use the cabinet for that. Instead, just get a small plastic box, that can be sealed, and then put some of the those large silica gel bag things you can also get from Yodobashi/Bic/Amazon etc.

that XH2S is giving me some "mini Leica SL2S" vibes

Really liked the video & images. I thought about getting Fuji camera but seen alot of KZreadrs saying auto focus has issues. What's your view? Why they coming to that conclusion?

Does the phone app import the photos in full quality ? My beginner level camera from 2017 was importing the photos to my phone with a reduced quality and took a time to import so it basically had no function for me.

What about a rechargeable small dehumidifier to put with your gear in a small space? About 20 bucks, I think? Also, I second the other person’s recommendation about using a lens hood. I find it drastically reduces how often you have to wipe off the front of the lens.

Definitely will trust my Fuji more than my pro Sony cameras. Not quite sure why also.

Love your street photography Joe. I am a wildlife photographer and always use a lens hood. Any reason why you are not using one especially in the rain?

@joeallam

I don’t really like using them and find they get in the way, especially on zoom lenses, so I didn’t actually bring it with me to Japan.

You have to connect through Wi-Fi on the iPhone settings then it’ll connect on the app.

I'm intrigued why you switched from x-t5 to x-h2s. Was it just the faster/easier photo/video switching, or do you not trust the weather sealing in the x-t5 as much? Also, epic intro on this one!!!

Because I was vlogging on the X-H2S as well it’s much faster to switch between modes and has the flippy screen. I think weather is likely better too, but can’t confirm.

Yep, but that’s perfect for quick images I want to share to Instagram stories/Twitter etc. Videos don’t resize though, so I set my “Story/Vertical” custom setting to 1080. Everything else of course gets imported as normal to my Mac.

I would like to buy a Fujifilm X-t5. Do you advise me to take it? For real photos djob? Is it a profissional câmera?

You know that camera means a lot when the handkerchief was meant for the camera and not the face. You made me want to get my hands on one too.

Hey Joe. I'll be purchasing the new fujifilm film X-T5 this december. As someone who likes to keep it compact and versatile, i want to pair it with the new sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 X for fuji. My question is : Is this lens from Sigma compatible with the new X-T5 40mpx sensor ?

It’s called a dry box and you can get a small one for less than 100€…bought mine some years ago on uk ebay for 85€.

I see you having trouble with the Fujifilm app to transfer photos from your camera to your phone. You are using the square shaped box that lets you select tiny thumbnails from the app before they get transferred to your phone. You should choose the wide, narrow bar above it instead. It connects, for me, almost every time in the first try with my X-T3. Instead of showing you all of the photos available and you check them off before transferring, the select and transfer control moves over to your camera. The screen is larger so you are less likely to pick duds. You can see your photos one by one on your camera screen and click OK to transfer a photo to your phone, or move to the next one. The transfer is really quick. It is far more reliable, and my preferred method since I discovered the difference. Maybe you k ow already and don’t like it, but if you didn’t, give it a try.
