Hard to believe those are over four decades apart.

Sigma dial DJ from early 70s, vs modern Yacht-Master.

Handheld, natural light. Nikon D710/Nikkor 105

I know, but I don't have a light box or tripod.
It's shot handheld, outside, in natural light.
That puts a limitation on how much I can close down the lens. I think I shot those at f/8 or f/9
