Matsumoto-san,
Welcome to the List. I was in Tokyo just until a few days ago and I am
back in Dallas, Texas.
Although I have never been to Fujiya in Nakano, it seems that this is the
store to search new or used OM equipments from the number of items
advertised in Asahi Camera/Noppon Camera monthly magazines. I am
stuck with Yodobashi Camera with Gold Point Card.
It is always refreshing to stroll the Shinjuku/Shibuya area, noticing the
advertisements in the train, magazines to know what are the trend including
the introductions of new digicams. I think this is one of signs that the
Japanese economy is trying to take off.

The term bokeh is used in both Japanese and in English photography
literatures. I noticed in many Japanese articles, the term 'bokeh-mi'
is used quite often to emphasize the subject and blur the back grounds,
particularly in portraitures.
