![]() I wanted to light the watch in a way that highlighted it, so I used some inexpensive plug-in constant lights (as opposed to flash units) and positioned them carefully surrounding the setup. From the front of the band to the back of the band, we can't get the entire watch in sharp focus with a single image. As the watch is laid out there is some depth to the image. I chose a watch to illustrate the power of increased depth of field through focus stacking. This long focal length also decreases our depth of field, so focus stacking is incredibly useful in this situation. One thing to note: the OM-D is a micro 4/3 sensor camera with a 2x crop factor, effectively making the lens a 110mm lens. ![]() I used an adapter to use the F-mount lens on the OM-D. This combination makes for incredibly sharp macro photographs. I chose an older Nikon 55mm Micro-NIKKOR f/3.5 lens on an Olympus OM-D. This technique is most useful when using a macro lens. This lens is effectively 110mm given the 2x crop factor, and getting the entire watch in focus required us to use the focus stacking technique we're taking a look at today. We chose the Olympus OM-D, a micro four-thirds camera with a Nikon 55mm Micro-NIKKOR attached using an adapter.
