I shot almost a roll of film there, but it was destroyed when I got home. I was walking on the street in Kyoto when an uyoku truck came up behind me unnoticed and suddenly started blasting martial music from the loudspeaker. I dropped my Nikon and the latch broke and the back popped open, exposing the roll that was on the takeup spool.

You seem to be getting some very good results from the 18-200mm. I’d been thinking about one for a bit – certainly easier to carry around than the 17-55 plus 70-200 – and your pictures are pushing me that much closer to buying one.
