I have just bought a new digital camera ,so I tried to take some new pictures for my Lange's collection.By the way, I have found the Lange 1 Sincere SE.Thanks, Guys!!

...the L1 compare to the L1pc in terms of weight? can you easily read the day, month, year?

Hi, I haven't got the Lange1 SE yet! I found one in Signapore and already asked them to reserve it for me. I will get it in these few days. Will report to you then. By the way, I can't figure out what does the L1pc stand for ?

...Lange 1 and the perpetual calender feel differently on the wrist...

Thanks! Now I understand. I even don't know the perpetual calendar is belong to the Lange 1 model.The weight of L1 Platinum is much heavier than the L1pc since my PC is YG.I don't have any problem to see the date,day,and month but the year is a bit too small for me. Honestly to say, I personly prefer the Datograph than PC. I think the layout of PC is a little bit too complicated. I like the Datograph layout.It's really beautiful. I used to collect the Patek Philippe but the Lange become my favorite recently!

I see you got a bad case of Lange-itis!

Congrats on finding the Sincere LE Lange-1. Would love to see pictures of it. Doesnt it have a Silver(ish) Date disc´s?

Hi, Edwin,I tried to take the pictures as good as possible I can but still have not satisfied yet! Every time I saw your pictures and I was wondering how come that you can take the pictures so perfect? Can you let me know what kind of the digital camera which you used? Thanks!

I use a Nikon DSLR D70s with the kit 18-70mm lens together with a x2 magnifying lens that I can screw ontop of the 18-70. I also have a small
Nikon Coolpix L3 which has a Macro function and takes great pictures too.

IMO the secret to nice photographs is diffused light! Make sure only diffused light reaches the object and use a tripod.

For some of my shots I put the watch on a white cloth in a plastic container:



The paper in front of the container is important to prevent reflections of the room in the shiny parts of the bezel.

Cloth will work too instead of paper:



Be sure to position the watch in such a way that the lens wont reflect in the bezel or other parts of the watch (or erase the reflections
with PhotoShop or similar app.)



I also used another setup with paper (plain white copy-machine paper):



The setup in the lower left corner differs from the one at the lower right corner in that in the latter more light gets to the subject. I added the towel to dampen the shake the camera experiences when the mirror moves upward.

Overhead this setup there are two tubelights (2 meter in total).

Really, thats all (and a little postprocessing of course )

Thanks a lot! I also owned a Nikkon D70s and micro lens in the past one year.I was not satisfied with the quality of the pictures I took most of time. I changed to Nikkon D200 right now. The pictures quality improve a little bit but haven't not reached my request yet. Now I understand the problem is not come from the camera,it's the person. I will try your method. maybe someday I can take the pictures as good as yours. Thanks again!

I do notice there is a lot of noise in the pictures. My brother has a Canon camera (dont know the model number) but his picture show less noise.

Is the D200 better compared to the D70s or is it as noisy?

I´d love to see the results of your D200 and ´my´ setup. It realy is very easy!
