since you like taking tight portrait photos of your watches... can consider Samyang 85mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC, Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2 or Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8

don't really have the time in the last few years to go back in photography

Mine lasted nearly 45 hrs. If it stops, i will give it around 35 winds before wearing it.

Question to fellow oris sixtyfive owners. How long is ur power reserve? Ive read that it is abt 38hrs. But mine don last for 24hrs. Do i hv to wind it? Or i hv to wear it for a certain number of hrs straight to get the max power reserve.

Great to see bros here also into photography. Think you guys must be also in Clubsnap. I used to be quite siao about photography and gears, just last year i bought the Leica Q when it launched. Solid camera, the best i have used throughout the many years i into photography. After my boy is borned, never used the camera much then i got sucked into world of watches and sold off all my gears to fund watches.

Left one Canon G7X to take occasional casual pics or for pics of items i posting on Carousell for sales.

oh just to add on, unless you are getting the exact strap i got, dont bother going there...they dont have much selection and i reckon you are better off scrolling through carousell

90% of their "leather" straps are those alligator style, and their NATOs are very thin and flimsy (poor quality)

due to the nature of my previous job which was in video & photo production... used to take plenty of photographs for watch AD companies, their launch events , dinners, AD&D etc

gradually developed a craze abt photography. MS colour in AMK & SLS was my fav place on weekends

in terms of minimum focusing distance, samyang is 1m, loxia is about 45cm? batis is about 70-80cm?

very far sia i try Fuji X70 or try getting those macro close-up filters hehe..

i suspect the cost of a Sony Macro lens, i can buy a second hand OMD EM10 and 25mm liao hahaha...anyway, once a while take nia la...

Lol canon 400D for 8 years before moving to 70D last year. Takes mainly travel photos. Got 3 canon lens,10-22mm, 17-50mm and 60mm macro (for taking watches and their dials, can already go up close).
I don't really edit my photos except to turn up the brightness and exposure if too dark or it looks too crappy

My fav shops are MS Colour and TK Foto. Used to patron SLR Revo quite frequently but the service become from bad to worse so i stop.

Once you have a baby, very hard to maintain the drive/energy/enthusiasm for photography. At least the hobby of watches dun need much effort on my part. Just need to wear can liao and everyday see on my wrist feels shiok. Won't feel like the watches are under utilised.

All the talk about camera and stuff... I only have a compact camera for use during overseas holiday. Most (almost all) of my photos are taken using my mobile phone. The mobile phones now take better photos than my old old digital camera that uses floppy disk!!!

Wonderful Wednesday... Be safe, the road is very wet!!!

I used to have a super small camera (small by past standards) that uses a 8MB memory stick called Cybershot U.
