You Cannot Escape Me!

Finally got a decent shot of the coronet by reversing the lens.

I have to get one of those reverse lens converters, it'll make it easier to take pictures.

Kyle, that is a great shot of the Rolex coronet. I can only see mine with a jewelers loupe and a powerful light source.

If you're going to get extension tubes and a reverse lens converter, you may as well save a bit more and get the EF 100 f/2.8. You can't beat the sharpness of a prime lens.

$400 isn't that bad, I might consider that. If I do get the extension tubes, I can save some money, might even have enough to buy an older jubilee bracelet for the Explorer.
