For quite a few years now, I have been the happy and satisfied owner of a Citizen quartz watch, a Promaster Eco-Drive, Satellite Wave model based on what they call the F900 caliber.

I will never cease to heap praise upon this watch. The only downside is that it is a bit big and a bit thick, albeit not outrageously so, like some watches you see today (with nothing inside the case, while this one is probably crammed to the brim).

On the plus side, it is not at all heavy because it is all titanium (much lighter than my Rolex). It is waterproof, but the weak point of waterproof watches is that they lose their waterproofing when you open them to change the battery, unless you have the guy re-do the waterproofing, for a cost that’s maybe 10 times that of the battery... Here, no need: it is solar-powered (even a good bedside lamp recharges it), so it has never been opened and it is as waterproof as on the first day.

Precision-wise, its quartz movement has a deviation of a few seconds per month (with Rolex, it’s per day!) —and that’s if you order it not to recalibrate, because if you leave it to its own devices, it resets itself very precisely, usually during the night, using time signals transmitted by GPS satellites, which means it will adjust itself all over the world, provided you have a reasonably clear view of the sky: it works even through the small window of a plane in flight (someone posted a video on Youtube about that). So, it always tells you the absolutely exact time.

It also tells the day of the week, the day of the month, the month, the year (and it knows to adjust for leap years), the hour in another time zone plus the GMT time, it has an alarm, it adjusts for daylight savings if they are in use, it has a chronograph function and even a circular slide ruler... Of course, it also tells you how much power it has in reserve, knowing that that reserve can last more than 500 days...

In summary, for me it is the best possible watch. I only wish it were a bit thinner, and of course there are times when I wear my Cartier Tank again with pleasure, but most days, the Citizen is my faithful companion. It is very sturdily built with sapphire glass, it has fallen numerous times and been hit against various hard surfaces, not a scratch, not a dent, it still runs perfectly well.

This is a super-macro shot of part of its face, taken with the Novoflex BALPRO T/S bellows at full extension (reproduction ratio is about 10:1) and a 35-mm Fotodiox Pro extension tube on the 85mm ƒ/1.8 lens.

Composite shot made up of 5 focus-stacked exposures, set manually using the Novoflex Castel XQ II focusing rail on which my BALPRO T/S bellows is mounted. Stack processed with Helicon Focus.

Taken at the Rolling Hills Zoo and Museum just outside of Salina, Kansas. I love the texture, delicate whites, and hues of green and pinkish-orange. The pink flamingo was keeping a careful eye on me as the shutter quickly fired several times in a row.

Just another Tui photo. I was testing a 1.7x Promaster teleconverter as giving longer reach than the Pentax 1.4x TC I normally use .It gives a 510 mm focal length compared to the 420 mm of the 1.4x when mounted on my DA*300 mm prime lens.

The only problem is the third party TCs like the Promaster/Tamron/Vivitar thta have the SDM contacts to match those of the DA*300mm won't give full autofocus. The move the lens focus but don't lock focus, so you have to use manual focus.

I've bought an older Pentax FA300 and it is screw drive only so will work with the third party TCs I own. As I've also bought a Tamron 2x TC that will give me a 600 mm focal length with the 300mm. It will work ok in reasonable light but I'm doubtful about the results of a 2x on a very dull day under the forest canopy. The 1990s FA 300 arrives shortly and I'm looking forward to using it.

First roll shot of LomoChrome Turquoise film. It's a limited, special color negative film. FPP carries it in 35mm, 120 and 620 format. This was shot at iso 200 in my Canon T60 / Promaster 19-35mm zoom / Home-souped using the Unicolor C-41 kit.

Lomo Turquoise will yield wacky colors like amber skies and blue flesh tones. Not sure why this film and Lomo's Purple film are called "Chrome" as they're both color negative films and the word chrome refers to positive slide film.
