Photo walk around Lake Sagami 相模湖 神奈川県

Lake Sagami_19
A classical lake-side town taken with a classical lens.  

Location:Lake Sagami, Kanagawa(神奈川県 相模湖)

Camera: Fujifilm X-T30 etc.
Lens: Asahi Pentax Super Takumar Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 etc.

I am always looking for some good places to take photos with classical lens, and I visited Lake Sagami which is located in Kanagawa Pref. This lake has an old style lake-side town and huge pleasure boats which are also very classical and nostalgic. 


Not only the atmosphere of the city, but I also use classical lens named "Asahi Super Takumar 50mm F1.4". This lens was first on sale in 60s, so as you can find above, the lens is coloured in yellow! Digital cameras can automatically adjust the white balance so you can use this lens without any issues, but I canceled the auto-adjustment to use this feature of this lens and make my photos more "nostalgic".

I made a photo album at the end of this page which has photos that are not listed on this gallery. Some of the photos are also available at Adobe Stock and Shutterstock.
