New macro lens - first results - C11 MSL

Post by FloridaPhil »

I recently picked up a dedicated macro lens for my Olympus Micro 4/3 system. Quite impressed with it. Unfortunately, this means I'll probably be posting far too many closeup shots! Apologies in advance.

This is my C11 MSL on a new WatchGecko gray cordura strap which I am very happy with. Suits the watch IMO. I like it so much that I now have an olive green one on order too.

Don't think anyone will complain at having to look at lots of high quality pics, I know I won't :thumbup:

Great photo Phil, certainly makes me want to look into this a bit more. I do occasionally get a bit disillusioned taking photos of my favourite watches with the iPhone only to see that they look not nearly as good as they do in the metal.

A cool and very clear picture of a great watch Phil. :clap:

Mind you, the museum grade crystal also helps. :wink:

Great photo! You have me wanting to trade out my vintage c11 for this version.

Lovely watch, sharp picture! But you should set the time at 10.10 so it smiles, picture deserves it :)

This got me thinking about some close up shots. I have a 10+ year old Panasonic TZ10, a reasonable quality digital camera. I had a look at the manual and you can take macro shots. So, thought I'd give it a bash, a few shots of the Scooter Blue below, probably not as great quality as you lads with the DSLR with macro lens, but not bad with the basic tools?! It certainly makes you realise your watch needs a clean :lol:
