路I think the best combination is any vintage macro lens from the 70's or so, mounted on digital camera full frame camera. I used the Pentax macro takumars 100mm 50mm, and the Zeiss Makro Planar 60mm f2,8

路I used the Nikon 105mm for watches and it provides the perfect level of crispiness. There are also very good lenses from various other manufacturers of course. I'd go with anything around 100mm for general shots.

路I just switched systems, from Canon to Fuji and I love it, love to do some street shooting馃槈 and watch photography in just one body and lens
Havent decided yet if it's any better for watches...I own a XE-3 with the 35mm f2.0 XF lens...
Any advice on macrotubes I shoud get? Or eventulaly a macro lens?

路路So on and so on and scoobie doobie dooTamron 90mm f2.8 macro is a nice inexpensive lens.
Early versions can work with sony a7 and adapter. Newer versions are a bit more expensive but still alot cheaper than brand lenses. Just an option to check out.
Some really nice shots in here of great watches. Nice thread, thanks to all for sharing.

路路His Holiness Puer SurdusI took this picture of my Vulcain Cricket at the Apple store using the iPhone 11 (Pro?).
- Handheld
- Store lighting
- I have some tremor
- Straight shot (no image post-processing)
I was stunned by the quality of the picture.

路I need advice for new lens/camera also 馃榾
I now have a samsung nx30 mirrorless I bought new some years ago. This worked well for me so far,
until I tried macro..
I tried with a samsung 60mm macro lens f2.8 which I can't get good close ups with. Samsung don't make any camera or lens anymore so I'm looking for something new.
I've been looking at Sony A series with 100mm lens, but Canon is also cheaper..
Is Sony really worth it over Canon?
None of these have built in image stabilization like Pentax, so lens is more expensive to buy..

I must confess I have been considering upgrading my iPhone solely on the new camera, we enter full lockdown tomorrow so I suspect it may be some time before a visit to the Apple store.

路I just got a 55mm/2.8 micro (macro) lens for my Nikon FM. The first couple of shots looked great in the viewfinder, we'll see what the film actually looks like in a couple of weeks 馃榿

路Been shooting with Sigma's 70mm Macro f2.8 recently, and really been enjoying the sharpness.
Nice picture! The Sigma 70 2.8 is a lovely lens... I also use the same lens for a Leica SL2 but more often I find myself reaching for the Sigma 45mm 2.8 since it's a little more versatile for me with its close focus ability and wider field of view. I use the 70 macro more when I'm trying to get up close and in to the details.
