Here are a few photos taken with a 5x Loupe + Stickytape + iPhone 6 Plus setup Seamaster 33mm manual-wind from 1958-1959, Cal. 520
that is really cool, but to be honest, you are doing yourself a disfavour ... looking at a watch with a magnification of 5-20 times ... can be heartbreaking (unless its brand new) cheers, Al
Great shots JILA (and great watches)! Can you also comment on what you are doing from a lighting perspective? Plus, how far away from the watch are you placing the loupe? Great stuff.......
@RawArcher : I made no special light set-ups -- all photos were taken on the dining room table which is illuminated by a chandelier-thingey that has three compact fluorescent lamps. I do take a lot of watch photos on this table so I know the spots on the table where the lighting is most favourable. Distance-wise, I got the loupe as close to the subject as possible while still maintaining focus -- my guess is about 3-4cm from the subject.
