Two days ago, I added a new lens to my GFX kit: GF500mm f/5.6
I bought it from Kitamura Camera in Naha, Okinawa Japan. It was surprisingly relatively inexpensive: 438,546 yen, tax-free.
The amount charged to my credit card was Canadian $3840.80. To put this into a perspective, the cost of this lens in Canada is CAD $4724 + 13% tax = CAD $5,338.12.
438,546 yen is about USD 2,740. At B&H, this lens costs USD 3,999.
Naturally, I have been using the new lens in the last two days, although it has been raining heavily in Okinawa. This year, the rainy season seems to be longer than usual.
Attached are a few photos taken in the small port Maeganeku. This port is mostly used by boats taking tourists to dive and snorkel.

Congrats on the new "weapon" to your aresenal! Looks to be a fine addition! I love #2 which accentuates the lens rendering.
Nice work, nice lens!

This is a series of recent photos - all taken while hiking with the GF500mm F5.6 lens in Okinawa, Japan.
The subjects are obviously random - I shoot whatever and whenever something interesting comes my way.

I have always loved the architecture of our local library.
I have been keeping an eye on the sky and clouds in order to go out for an evening shot.
I was hoping for more clouds as most had dissipated by the time I got there.
No sky replacement, these were the actual colors as the sun came down.
For the blue light shots I did add some stars.

I don't often go to Ricketts Glen in the summer, as it usually is hard to find enough water. While it's been fairly dry where I live, some of the rains have been going north.
