I got a couple things for my birthday: the Fuji 16mm extension tube, and a new watch. Afterwards I realized the two were really appropriate for each other. :lol:

 
I didn't realize how much the tube limits focus. I thought I could use it for tighter headshots, but it's basically only good for macro stuff. You get like a 5-10cm range right in front of the lens. I can definitely see getting the 11mm down the road for a little more working space.
 
The setup: a continuous CFL softbox and a small 12" Best Buy reflector. The full-face photos are the 56mm, and the tighter ones are the 35mm.

And the watch, with a couple photos of my other two decent watches. Apparently I've got a thing for Citizens. :lol:

Thanks guys. :)

 

vkalia, it's not. The bottom one is discontinued, so I got it for half price. I believe the actual watch is still available, only it has a metal bracelet now. The middle one is one of their cheapest Eco-Drives - it's a regular model that sells for around $250 CAD.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.
