Nice Mike, being in the business of building subway cars, I always love shots like this. BTW, the guy in the background with the white gloves, is he one of the infamous "subway packers"?

The line I live on has nowhere near enough people to justify packers. Even though lots of my photos are taken in Tokyo, I actually live out in a much less densely populated area about 100km to the north.The fellow with the white gloves was most likely the conductor. The train terminated at the station and the driver/conductor have to swap ends for the return trip. The gent walking away was either a station employee carrying a wireless microphone or the train driver carrying the throttle or brake handle. I can't remember which, but one of those gets removed for safety purposes.

Shame on you!!! What's the meaning of this shooting with something other than a Tak,LOL? Does this mean you are going to desert all of your old glass?

Congrats on the new lens.

No way I'm deserting my Takumars. I've had the A-35-105 going for a couple of weeks, mostly to get accustomed to using it so I can do a better job with it the next time an event comes along for the dance group (Dec. 24). I've been jonesing for the DA70 for quite a little while now, so I decided to just bite the bullet and get it. This photo doesn't show the lens to its best advantage, being as it is a pretty small crop of the original photo.
