Around Shinjuku and Golden Gai

I stopped by Kinokuniya and picked up another book 'Japan's Cultural Code Words'...a very interesting read so far. Today’s Configuration: Leica M9 with Summilux 35mm f/1.4 and my FujiFilm x100.

Books in Shinjuku

I stopped by Yodobashi Camera to have my x100 checked.   My issue turned out to be delays caused whiled reading my memory card as it was 32GB.   I switched to 8GB cards and the issue was resolved.
