I thought the odds thing was funny. That's why I bet on Garyi. That, and my grandma's middle name was Garyi.

yeah, he uses expensives lenses - f0.95 - think that would cost a few grand itself..!
mines a humble f1.8...but it does the job and can create this kind of effect -

I saw the lens hood for one of those advertised recently for $350 and I have a minty one in leather case with 3 or 4 filters

From our nerd dept:
A few hundred quid will get you one in decent nick, they're easy enough to find. The mount needs to be modified to fit it on an M mount camera (it uses a bespoke Canon rangefinder mount), and the hoods are so rare they go for nearly as much as the lens itself. It's a big heavy beast for a rangefinder lens though, and focusing it wide open on any M body without a long rangefinder base is tricky.
I have a similar era (late 50s) Leica thread mount Canon 50/1.2, very good it is too. Canon rangefinder lenses of that vintage are mostly excellent, and cheap.
The Noctilux 1.0 that guy also uses is stupidly expensive, however.
Anyway, I won't be entering this one as I don't get back from Japan until after the closing date.

What, not even an out of focus shot of your host on a bike?

Mr Cat -- Cheap, fast lenses can be found. I picked up a mint 55mm f/1.2 for $100 a few years ago.
Ian -- The deadline of the competition can be extended a few days if you'd like to enter a pic. Seems fitting, given that the Japanese are responsible for introducing bokeh to photography.

Joe, you're a very kind man, but I fly back on the 26th, and it will be the next weekend before I get a chance to start to start developing the many rolls I will have shot by then, let alone scan them, and probably two weeks until that's complete...
It's not like I need the theme in order to find things to shoot. I'm in Japan, after all
