This pictures are from my Explorer II movement, I take it with a cheap camera and a watchmaker magnifying glass.

Mrdi · 9 October 2008, 12:58 PM

I guess I don't need that $6,000 Nikon

Very nice!!

C. Davidson · 9 October 2008, 02:54 PM

Nice pics

How did you put the magnifying glass in front of your camera lense to take the pictures?

jnoble · 9 October 2008, 08:55 PM

Its pretty easy and simple, the magnifying glass is the ones that the watchmakers put in the eye(10x) and the camera has a retractable lens the mag. glass fits perfect in the lens. Later today Im going to post some photos of this. good day guys.

buz-lh · 10 October 2008, 06:01 AM

Good job. Very creative.

Thanks for the tip

Now I know how some TRF members managed to take pics of the tiny crown on the sapphire crystal.

GMTJOHNNY · 11 October 2008, 05:14 AM

Yeah great!! Makes me wonder why I purchased my Nikon D80 with all the extras.
I still need a macro lens.....hmmmmm.....macro lens or another Air King......

Thanks for sharing your photos.

hsung · 13 October 2008, 08:56 PM

Wow JNoble, thanks for sharing your secret photography method.

Is that magnifying glass a standard size that happen to fit onto your camera or did you have to find it specially?

jnoble · 13 October 2008, 09:30 PM

Is a cheap 10X standard jeweler loupe, are those that you put on your eye. Ebay have some for about $3.00. http://cgi.ebay.com/10-X-JEWELERS-EY...d=p3286.c0.m14

dkpw · 14 October 2008, 03:54 AM

Great pics and a cunning idea to use the loupe.

Only thing - I would be too scared to open up my Rolex to take some pics!
