Here's another one. A friend of mine also bought a Bellows, but he got the Nikon PB-6 with the PB-6E extension system. Gives a total of 438mm of extension or about a 1 to 8 magnification amount. Below is a photo of a $10 bill with Alexander Hamilton: And here is a picture of Alexander Hamilton's eye:

Oh and one other thing.....I have Windows XP installed on my Macbook running VM Ware Fusion. I hadn't updated my windows stuff in a while and thought I would start that on Friday of last week. After 5 reboots and two days of downloading, it just finished today. Ridiculous! I had forgotten how much I hate doing Security Patch updates on the PC.

IMO there's nothing wrong at all with Apple's closed business model. They build products that work and app developers have to adhere to Apple's stringent guidelines to ensure their products continue to work. I love my mac's and I hate my PC's. What's even weirder is using Windows XP in Boot Camp or virtual in VM Ware Fusion, the Windows stuff works better and is more reliable then using it on my actual PC's. The iPad will find it's niche and it will definitely do well, but I will wait to see what they come up with on version 2 or 3 before I go down that path. There's aren't enough gains to warrant using an iPad over my Mac Laptop.

+1 on the wood jig! Oh, and the watch looks awesome too Are you going to be selling the jig's? I would imagine a few modders around here would really love to get one.

What's the store name again? Thanks!

Does Clarks have a direct buy website, or only an eBay store? Did a quick search here, but I'm in a bit of a rush so I'm hoping a helpful member will just give the info to me

I must admit I do miss it!

Thanks my friend!! It's a very special piece with some great contributions from some amazing members here! It will be a valued watch for a very long time!!!

Been wearing my Tudor for two weeks now! I just can't seem to take it off

If it works let me know! I would love to get a hold of this! Which version did you find? The lite or advanced?

Ooooohhhh! Very nice Ubi! What GMT is that for?

That is one BEAUTIFUL watch!!!!

Seafoam that is looking awesome man! Vac did an pretty awesome job with it!!!

The best tool for the job is probably the Bergeon 3010 but it is NOT cheap The other option would be a staking tool set as FxrAndy mentioned.

Very nice and informative comparison Ubi! Thanks for that! The MBW is very very nice! Is this the latest MBW or the older one?

Stunning pics guys! I am definitely liking the Ti look more and more! Also quite like the contrast of the 172 case with the brushed and polished combo

Just curious. Is anyone using Helicon Focus Software? Looks quite promising and with a focusing rail on the PB-4 bellows, could be quite fun to do Super Macro shots without any depth of field focusing issues. This picture of the Nikon 135mm f/4.0 Bellow Lens was taken using 21 shots and then they were focus stacked using Helicon Focus Lite.

Very nice J! Looking good!

It sure is a comfy chair, isn't it? Makes a big difference if you sit at a desk all day!

The really good macro extension tubes are quite nice as they do carry through the electrical contacts from the lens to the camera allowing autofocus and metering to work very nicely. How do you like them J?

Actually I'm quite keen on that Microset too! I know that Avitt has one and reported good things about it. He said you definitely want the clamping sensor with it though, which pushed the price to $450.00

Super awesome guys! This is an amazing community of human beings and the thoughtfulness and generosity is unparalleled! Congrats K on your new acquisition and a big to you Ubi!

Wow! I can't believe this thread has reached 2 pages!!! Thanks for all the tips guys, but as I mentioned, we stopped after 4 days. Good ol' fashioned eat less food, several times a day with exercise tends to do the trick

Nice find!! I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Unfortunately, with the Nikon system, metering does not work at all. You cannot set the D40 to aperture priority when the lens is reversed. The camera complains and the screen displays a warning indicating that there is no lens attached. You can only set the camera to full manual to get it to work. There is a work around - but I haven't gotten to that part yet
