I like 'em. I especially like the sepia one where the focus point being deeper into the watch instills a sense of depth. Very nice. :)

Thanks guys. Manual focusing (especially with a paper thin DoF) is CRAZY hard :p

I much prefer my modern AF SWM lenses hehe :nana:

You guys can imagine the amount of macro zoom their is, those gears are ridiculously smalls :wowzers

Love it! I need to find a macro lense for my old Sony A-100 DSLR but I don't want to spend $500.

I only shoot Nikon but check out Tamron macro lenses. I was told they are actually quite good for third party lenses.

I agree with br549 on all points. While all the pictures are wonderful that sepia shot really had me staring. Love it. Thanks for sharing. :D
