Didn't know you could get this close to a Watch! It's amazing that you can see all the details. I didn't crop the picture, or buy a new lens.















Personally I love this one.

It's pretty cool! Just reverse the lens of a DSLR, and you can see all the little details.

With an adaptor attached to the front of the lenses, the adaptor is attached to the camera.

Normally you hold the lens like this:


But then you put it the opposite way, and hold the lens towards the body.

Yep, just reverse the kit lens and you get this. I picked up a 50mm f1.8 and I'll be getting extension tubes soon.

Great pics and very innovative with the lens kit. Sometimes just a good macro lens will get great close -ups. =) maverick
