The Milward Handy Sewing Gauge and Supporting Cast

Nikon D2Xs and Tamron 35mm f/1.8. Unusual for a prime lens, this one has Vibration Compensation (VC) technology which provides up to three stops of of image stabilisation. Handy on practically any camera that it is compatible with, it is particularly valuable with the D2Xs where ISO beyond 400 can degrade images. The lens will also focus a good deal closer than its competition.
The sewing tin was photographed with the camera at 200 ISO, f/2 and 1/100th.
