Thats a great camera bro...
Yes a nice canon 100m macro f2.8 will be nice to capture your watches looking their very best
I have one that i borrowed from a fren and its fiendish ... wicked lens...
yummy

How is canon compare to Tamron for macro? I heard Tamron is good, but maybe focus speed is not as fast as Canon and no USM

I can't say I play DSLR, but I have:

Nikon D70
Nikkor AF-S 18-200mm VR Lense

hahaha... you know what i meant..
anyway thats a nice camera from what i've heard
I'm a canonite..

I have Canon Kiss (350D) for quite some time. Still like it very much due to its compact size. No budget for lenses, maybe will add one macro lens if money available

Yeah... Cannot deny that...

A few years back, I was outside a room with beautiful piano music playing. I went into the room and it was a hifi system playing. It was so real. I ran only after a few minutes. My friend ask me why I ran out so fast when the music is so nice. and I remember saying... rather not listen cos its so good that I would crave for it...

Then again... life is easy when we have no money. No money, no choice. Easy.

Wow... nowadays, I dont buy audio components, I DIY. Of course some things cannot DIY, such as loudspeaker amps (not worth it).

But my next project is a tube amp... I want to try out some loudspeaker monoblocks using tubes ... and DIY my next set of speakers.

Yours Truly again...

i have to agree with you about this being a never-ending cycle in order to attain audio nirvana. I lost count the amount of amps, speakers, cables, etc that has gone thru' my system. End of the day, it's about contentment. At this point of time, I'm happy with my system and have no plans to muck around with it...

It's the same as any hobby... contentment is important. So it's not really about cost if you look at it that way. That's why I believe in building systems on a budget, small or big and bringing that smile on my face.

Anyway... agree with you on AT.. they do have some really good budget cans. Beyer Dynamics as well... but I prefer their pro series.

as ive said.....ignorance is bliss ............. but the human being never content, therefore no matter how hard you try, impossible to be happy. It is a matter of time.

wait you go and visit the shop to listen to the high end stuff... but let me warn you, ignorance is BLISS ...... or as some people say, sorry about your wallet, since this is a never ending acquire of audio products.

of course sennheiser has products for every budget, just like rolex ..... Airking - base model > datejust - mid range > president - high end range.

I think one company good performance is Audio Technica... whether you are using the A900 or if you have money to spend, you can always get the W1000 series ....... ultimate bliss ...... someday I plan to buy back those W1000, but first need to get a amp that I can be happy with
