Yes
Just a quick (& boring) shot of a Tag Heuer watch to check out the quality / abilities of this close up lens - For someone who will probably only want an occasional macro shot it seems pretty capable (?) Paul ;)

Nothing wrong with that. (y) Supplementary close up lenses make a lot of sense if you're only going to do a bit of macro, you can get excellent results and they're a sensible alternative to spending loads of dosh.
 
Looks pretty sharp to me (y) Aren't watch photos always supposed to be taken with the hands at ten to two though :thinking: ;) :p
 
Looks good to me too Paul. I'm glad that you like it!.

Oh, it's a lens. I thought it's the next up from the 400D body. :LOL:

lol what I meant was ten past ten :bang: God knows why I typed ten to two :wacky: But seriously, look at pretty much any watch advert and the hands are always at ten past ten. Have a look here ;)

Watches at 10 past 10 are supposed to be conveying a "happy" face!

And I didn't even know there was a train that left Paddignton.... :)

I agree, this is what I started with and it stays in my bag, there are some days you just cannot carry a macro lens and this makes a great, lightweight alternative.
 
Paul,
Which lens did you use for the watch.
What, if any, other lens or lenses do you use your 500D with.
I've got one and have been quite pleased with the results with my 70-200.
I will probably get a 105mm at some time. I know this is a macro lens in its own right but I'm wondering what effect adding the 500D to one of these would be.

Hi Skypilot - The lens for this shot was my Tamron 17-50 - The plan was to use the 500D with it and my 70-300mm (whichever was best for the subject) but I haven't used it with that lens yet! - That sort of justifies having the 500D for me as a dedicated macro lens would be wasted on me as I only want/need to do macro on a rare occasion - HTH ... Paul ;)
