Tell me more about that lens :wink:


70-200 f4L IS? My guess, at least. Could be the 2.8L IS but it doesn't look big enough. Gorgeous watch, too.

EDIT: Oh, has a tripod ring, too.

70-200mm f2.8 IS. I took the pic with a 35mm f2. I'm surprised at the minimum focus distance on that lense.

Huh - I thought the f2.8 was supposed to be quite a bit fatter? Or is the watch just that big?

The watch is small, 36mm.

It's the distortion of the 35mm f2 at minimum/close to minimum focus distance.

Which is why it's advised not to use for close portraits. You get over emphasized noses.

After much toil and laborious debate, I finally picked this band to replace my OEM brown leather Panerai band.

Nice immtbiker!

I am pretty well connected in the Panerai world and know many fine aftermarket strap makers. Here are a couple of examples of recent straps I acquired that I just love!
