Well I took Jocke's advice and picked up a 105mm nikkor micro(macro)lense.
Here is my lame attempt at some quick closeups.

'61 Tulip 5512

'69 MF 1680

'61 1675

I still need practice.

NICE PHOTOS!
Great watches.

Maybe it's the angle or just my old eyes, but that crown doesn't look quite right on that first shot.

Very sharp lens!

Creative shot of the 1680! You've got some beauties there. That 1675 shot is such a tease!!

Chris B · 5 August 2011, 01:04 AM
