Watch photography

What camera and lens combo do you use for your watch photography besides the phone camera. Here is my spb143 taken on my canon sl2 40mm 2.8 macro lens

My camera is Stored, I don't use it, I've gotten very little out of it in the last 3 or 4 years😭

It depends! Usually, my Olympus E-P7 + 60mm macro, as it gives me as close as 1:1 while maintaining a decent working distance. Due to the focal length, though, the images are flatter:

But sometimes I want a different perspective and more dimension, so I go with my Z6 + 50mm macro:

The difference may be subtle, but notice how the rehaut is visible in the latter, while it’s mostly obscured in the former. The perspective of the longer effective focal length (a 60mm in Micro Four Thirds has the same angle of view as a 120mm on a full frame body) compresses the subject.

Using my Fujifilm X10, near a window for lighting. :)

Nikon D850 with 200mm Micro for the tight shots.
