Every moment only happen once in our lifetime, treasure it and capture it.
Photography is a soul searching process
About Tahusa.co
It began as a humble blog seven years ago.
Born from an itch to geek out over cameras, lenses, and all things photography, I started capturing my unscripted moments with photography and honest insights into the cameras and lenses I explored. It was very fun and has given me an opportunity to meet photography enthusiasts from around the world, whom a lot of them I can now call friends.
My website is slowly expanding—from reviews and visual diaries to photography tips, e-books on lens investment, and film basics. You’ll also find a selection of favorite lens hoods, soft release buttons, films, and presets. If you enjoy my content, consider buying me a coffee from the homepage. Your support helps grow this platform, and I truly appreciate it!

How did I start with film photography?
Back when I was studying in university, I watched a Japanese drama called “Hard to say I love you”. In the first episode, Nagayama Eita appeared in front of a vintage camera shop staring at a Leica M7. At that time, I had no idea about the Leica rangefinder cameras and how it works; however, the shutter sound and Eita’s expression when he was using the camera fascinated me. Immediately after some online research, I and sold all of my DSLR cameras and bought my first Leica M6 camera and a Summicron 35mm f2 IV pre-asph (one of the best Leica lenses to start with). In 2010, my film photography journey officially began.
What camera gears do I use?
I mainly shoot with my Leica rangefinder camera and I love using the 35mm lens for street photography and 50mm is my most comfortable focal length; it is a black repainted M2 that I have been using for the past 4 years. I also have a black a la carte Leica MP with my Summilux 35mm 1.4 ASPH FLE lens, and the Noctilux at night. Although I have used the medium format, I find that the 135 film suits me best.
