    Default photographing Razors

    Hi!
    I recently came across this method of taking super macro pictures using a normal SLR camera. You reverse the lens so its "on" back to front and you can get some pretty amazing microscopic pictures with a steady hand.

    Here you see a dovo prima silver steel!
    Enjoy!

    PS maybe a good way of keeping track of the small pittings and rust blemishes that are normally impossible to see in shots? im using an olympus e420 with 14-42 zuiko lens that's on back to front.

    Fine result! My congratulations! Zuiko lenses macro ZD35 and ZD50 will approach for this purpose even more.

    Ah! hadn't seen the wiki before! Goes to show all good ideas are rarely original : )

    I took the pics mainly as an experiment because my brand new dovo silver steel (carbon steel) is already starting to show speckes of what guess is rust. Despite fervent use of baby oil, post shave stroping and drying.

    My NOS wapi on the other hand is doing just fine...
