This is the face of the good ol' MkII Cruxible, showing off the super-subtle logo and depth rating. (except the brandings are actually more subtle than seen here – I made the dark bits a little extra bright and legible for the photo, but really the writing is more like... a shiny shadow on the basically black dial. It's cool.) This photo is me finally exercising some lens tilt and swing to get the plane of focus parallel with the face of the watch... ...and then, because that's not enough fussing, I smashed together a very thin stack of frames (just from the tip of the pinion down to the face of the watch) – on the theory that if you're not focus stacking over a huge range, like travelling along the watch's face, maybe the nearest objects won't cast out-of-focus edge halos big enough to notice. And that seems to be true, at least to my satisfaction here. The lens is a Cambo ACTAR-120, which seems to be decent! [jbm-20220831-gfx-stack-065_076-f8]
