Great shot. I think you did a great job on lighting. The only thing is that the shadow on the date display is a little distracting. BTW, it's a very nice watch.

Thanks Leo.

Tell me about that light! it drove me crazy trying to get rid of it. So I gave up.

Quite simply ... I love it :D

Have to get one of these (next time I get to China :twisted: )

Best regards,

Come on Andy, you don't buy that stuff I hope (cheap imitations).

Well, if I have the choice ...

- Canon 75-300/4.5-5.6 + genuine AP watch or
- Canon 300/4.0 IS L + fake AP watch

Guess what I'll choose :lol:

Just to assure you ... I normally wear a genuine Seiko 'Kinetic' (as it is just a bit more convenient than my 1950's IWC and Omega watches)

Best regards,
Andy

I think the two options combined won't get you "an offshore" :D

Well, that's what I was suspecting anyway :lol:
(I had 300/2.8 initially, but changed it for 300/4.0)

Still, I won't get neither anyway (AP watch or 300/2.8 or 300/4.0) ...
as I am not able to convince my wife that this is more important than mortgate on the house + education for the children :rolleyes:

Best regards,
Andy

PS: This leads to an idea ... If anybody is interested in trading a 1950's stainless steel IWC watch in very decent condition (that I already had BEFORE my marriage) for a Canon L lens, PM me :wink:

That's the beauty of being single...no finance/tax authority to check on you :lol:

Haha ... enjoy it while it lasts:wink:

... did I ever mention I returned my 911 (company car) and picked up a slightly used Chrysler Voyager instead :rolleyes:

Best regards,
Andy

PS: Had I been into photography earlier, I would have returned the 911 earlier and have some nice lenses now... :twisted:

Do you want to trade with a Corum Admiral's Cup...custom made :D

Nope :p ... I need my numbers ... can't read flags :wink:
But the Corum is a nice watch, nevertheless.

Best regards,
Andy
