Karl Ojisan
Curl (カール Kāru) is a brand of cheesy flavoured corn puffs snack produced by Meiji Holdings and the mascot Karl (kah-roo) Ojisan is that character with the yellow hat. Probably a Japanese play on words between "Curl" and "Karl".
Apparently at the top of every hour, Karl Ojisan's hat rises to reveal the small green frog character Kerota-kun. From around 3pm, you can see yourself projected live on a big TV monitor on the right side of the billboard if you stand close to the glass planes across the alley.
Gotta love all the quirkiness in Dotonbori!
I’m hopeful the Nikon DSLR to mirrorless lens adapter will be a good one although I believe it will work better with their latest E lenses than G lenses.
Sony had problems with A mount lenses to E mount mirrorless body due to their translucent non flipping SLT mirror.
CaNikon’s treasure trove of DSLR lenses is crucial for the success of their new mirrorless bodies. Metabones and Sigma MC-11 have worked reasonably well for Canon and Sigma DSLR lenses on Sony mirrorless bodies from the A7r2 and newer bodies. Nikon with obvious full knowledge of their own AF algorithm should be able to make their adaptor work better than the Metabones and MC-11.
3rd party adapters for Nikon DSLR lenses to Sony E mount bodies have however been dismal because Nikon mostly used body-driven mechanical couplings for aperture and focus control except for their newer E lenses. Canon does not have this problem. All of Nikon’s latest telephoto lenses are E type, so are their latest and greatest (very expensive as well!) 24-70 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8, 105 f1.4 and 28 f1.4.
Nikon’s FT-1 adapter for their DSLR lenses on their now defunct mirrorless Nikon 1 system gives me hope. Looking forward to finally upgrade my Nikon D800E with the new high mp mirrorless body that will allow close to native F mount performance on my remaining Nikon F mount “G” DSLR lenses that I have avoided duplicating over on my Sony E mount, as soon as that rumored 58mm f0.95 lens is released ☺!
