Maybe you shouldn't mess with new fangled fripperies, and stick to the tried and tested Twiglet. Nice Soldier BTW.  :tu:

Agreed, it's so much easier trimming nose hairs with a blade than risking Death By Combo Tool.  :salute:

That explains the WK stamp, they seem to have pivoted it 90 degrees every year (who knows why ???)...

Good one GF, but did you notice your WaffenKontrolle stamp is upside down?  :ahhh

 :cheers:

Or mine is upside down.  :ahhh
Or it's the right way up and you're upside down.

probably... :facepalm:

This is where they started in '62, the same orientation as most shields. So if they rotated 90 degrees CW every year then it explains the '71 and '73. I need more data!  :ahhh

T14 day 14. What does it have it its pockets, precious?

Found a magnifying lens to stick on my old camera. Not too happy about how narrow the focal point becomes.
I reckon the horisontally ribbed alox shields are anodized.
All I know is that I don't know anything - but I can't prove it!

I thought I’d try another attempt with the combo tool. If I go slow and easy, I can keep the tool from punching through the cap.

looks like painted? or is it anodized as newer ones?

I think the logo on these oldies is painted. But if anyone here knows more about this, please let me know :)
thx!!

That's not the MTo way! I don't untie my shoelaces, I just cut them off with a SAK and get some new ones. Any excuse to use a SAK. I'm actually typing this by stabbing the keyboard with my SI blade. Expensive and dangerous but fun.

Ba dump bump

Heading out the door in a few hours to head down to Sea World, before they do away with the Orca exhibit. First time I've been since a teenager, first time for the kids. Only taking my standard theme park carry, which is a Classic, translucent yellow scales in this case. I expect to cut roughly nothing there, except for perhaps a bag of snacks, or the tag off a souvenir. More important is water, snacks, sun protection, battery backup for the phones, and my daughter's meds. Looking forward to the trip, not so much the 3 hour drive from LA with a couple rowdy munchkins.

You know that only works for the first 8 or 10 beers.  After that, "slow and easy" requires too much effort.

DOF in macro-photography is typically quite shallow. Controlling its depth can be a technical challenge. The greater the subject magnification in the image the lens projects onto the focal plane (i.e. film or CCD), the narrower the depth of field. If you moved closer, or had greater magnification from the aux lens you used at the same distance, the DOF would be shallower. Lens aperture also affects it. Larger diameter (lower f-stop number) also narrows DOF, and smaller diameter (higher f-stop number) increases it. Make the aperture diameter too small and it hits the detectable diffraction limit on the optical train's resolving power, creating some detectable fuzziness throughout. If you can control the lens aperture, stop down some but do experiments at f/11 and further for possible diffraction limiting with how you're using the photos. Increasing light for a camera in program mode can sometimes do that but it will also typically increase shutter speed. If you have an aperture or shutter priority mode, you can drive things from there with lighting level, aperture and shutter speed. Another trick is to back up some and crop. Increasing subject distance increases absolute DOF, albeit it also changes subject perspective (i.e. convergence and vanishing point); it's a trade-off. OTOH, the shallow DOF certainly draws attention to the shield logo. Selective focus with a specific DOF can do that if it's the desired result. Ansel Adams, Edward Weston and the rest of Group f/64 demanded complete front to back sharpness (their landscapes in particular), versus Alfred Stieglitz's and Edward Steichen's (et alia of Gallery 291) Pictorialism. It depends on your vision for the final image.

Numerous factors determine DOF and diffraction limits, including if it's full frame or cropped, how large you make the "print" (enlargement) from that, and how close that "print" is viewed. IOW, how it looks in a 1024x768 Photobucket image can be completely different from what it looks like when printed at 8x10" and viewed from 10-12" distance by a human with 20/20 acuity. Ultimately there is also a film grain or digital pixel dimension limit, although I hope these are fine enough that other limits will occur first. Perform experiments to determine how these factors affect the final image as you're going to use it, and develop some heuristics to use when making your photos. Other than your time, digital is free.

I used to make large 8x12", 11x17" and occasionally 16x20" gallery prints from 35mm and 645 medium format film. Had to concern myself with what a photograph would look like in the final print. It gets even more complex with the printing process and its resolution that I won't dive into here. DOF Circle of Confusion, diffraction limiting airy disk, and human acuity at the most likely viewing distance are the big puzzle pieces.
