Very nice! What are the two different cameras?

**terry hall** · 11-19-2005, 09:07 PM

no changes other than camera...... wow..

how is this one dialed?
what is case serial #?

**Snide** · 11-19-2005, 10:35 PM

Here is the dial Dial The case serial number is K381406. Actually, they are both older cameras-I purchased the newer one used. I was using a Sony Mavica MVC-FD-91. The newer one is a Sony MVC-FD90. The FD90 only does still photos and the 91 does sound and 15 seconds of video-too many unecessary frills for taking pics of watches. The only problem is now I feel like I need to take a lot of new photos!

Here is some trivia for you.

The early fancy patterns in the bridges was called Damaskeening, but the later straight line pattern was called Millaskeening. At least this was a term Hamilton used internally.

i believe Art Zimmerla mentioned this also as a change in 992B in one of his papers....

Terry,
Do you if any of Art Zimmerla 992B papers are available for NAWCC members to view?

Terry,

You are correct. In 1952 Hamilton discontinued damaskeening in favor of "milliskeening". "Milliskeening" was done by using a canted end mill.

There is not a publication date (yet), but I understand he has submitted a Bulletin Article.

He also gave a talk at the Northwest Regional in ? 2004? (not sure of date right now)

Terry,
Thank you.

Snide,

Pretty good shots.

Now try practicing with the macro - get in there real close. Taking good photos of pocket watches is an art, and just requires practice with different camera settings and different lighting. Here's an example . . .

Cort - I use a Konica-Minolta Dimage Z20. I looked at a lot of cameras trying to find a super-macro; this little jewel takes great photos at incredibly close focal lengths. The results are pretty good, I think . . .
