I dont have too many skills to set and adjust manually the camera setting. Is it user friendly? it has bluthoot connecyion with the smartphone also?
Many of the better mirrorless cameras come with a fixed lens already attached. It cannot be removed. The really good ones ( ie: Leica Q ) are a perfect match for their camera.
It is pretty good, although my OM4 35mm film camera produced the best exposure for no effort at all by the user. Smartphone connection is by WiFi and works quite well -- I do use it, mainly to cut out vibration on difficult exposures.
This one with the 105 D lens and some Polywatch (this noob just got his first tube). What a difference. Maybe I need to break out the extension tubes now. Not cropped: Cropped:
Hello all, I'm new to the forum, but have been reading for a while. Photography is a topic that interests me as well. I took a few photos of my watches many years ago, which I thought I could share as my first post on here: Canon EOS 5D MKII, Canon EF 100mm macro lens (from 2012): The above is probably the best shot I've taken from a watch ever, hence it's number one to show ;-) My beloved Speedmaster Mark IV from 1973, before it underwent a service and re-fresh at the end of 2017. Photo also taken with my former Canon EOS 5D MKII and the Canon EF 100mm macro lens (from 2012): Toying around with reflections - Canon EOS 5D MKII + Canon EF 24-105mm at 105mm: Got a new Canon EOS R (mirrorless) a few weeks ago, together with the new RF 24-105mm right now. Hope to take new photos with it soon - and a new Speedmaster I have laid my eyes on ;-)
I prefer smaller sensor cameras for the most part, less DOF is a good thing sometimes. Typically use the Olympus 60mm macro or Panasonic 45mm.
They are okay. For me, there's not one internal camera stacking system I'd rely on to create a shot. If people are going that route, they are obviously a little more serious about photography and would be much better off using dedicated software IMO.
It's really easy to use. You don't need a whole lot of knowledge to take decent pictures, just the basics (aperture, ISO, shutter speed). It connects to your phone via Wi-Fi, it's very convenient for us that like to share our watches on Instagram.
I was thinking about purchasing the 60mm macro or the 45mm 1.8 for my EM-10 MKII. Do you have any recommendations? Is the 60mm versatile enough to have it as your "one-and-only" watch lens?
I use a Sony Alpha 7 full frame with a vintage Zeiss Makro Planar 60mm f 2,8 originally made for the Contax RTS system back in the 70's. for any digital cameras , vintage film lenses is always the best way, they're not too contrasty .
I just bought the Olympus 30mm Macro and I'm over the moon with it. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get some.
I went for the 60mm a few weeks ago and also like it. Coming up next -- a polarising filter for it. The filter I bought for the 14-42mm has really been useful.
Let us know how does it go!! Do you have any photos to compare with vs. without filter? I ended up going with the 30mm and not with the 60mm because it's more versatile in my opinion. You can always get some macro tubes (the lesser price tag also helped, though).
Stand-by one. One thing I can say is that TV screens are polarised at a very odd angle.

Well, if your are planning a WRUW in front of, for example the TdF as I have been doing last week, the screen can be seen clearly or completely black. I have not seen such a contrast in angle of the polarising filter before. Normaly it's reflections or no reflections. Not picture or blank.
Another Canon fan here, I'm using a base model Canon 450D together with a Canon EF 100mm macro lens. It took a little getting used to but depending on the light I can get some pleasing results.
