·Pretty straight forward, what lens do you Nikon DSLR users use for your Marco Watch photos?
What lens do you Nikon Owners use for watch pics?

··Most fun screen name at ΩFEDIT Ah! I finally woke up. You mean Macro.
And on a DX or FX sensor camera?
The difference is angle of view - which effects perspective. The other thing is the working distance you need or want.
For shots on my wrist or in my hand where I want short working distance on my DX sensor camera I choose to use the 40mm.
For "display" shots where I need more working room - "working room" is the distance from the end of the lens at any given magnification - for lighting control I use the 60mm. For really great working distance or to add more extension behind the lens a 105mm is what I like.

·I have the Nikon D5100 and use the lens 18-140, but I have to admit it's hard to take close-up and good pictures. (I am not that advanced in using the DSLR, just completed a course and slowly managing to shoot in the manual mode.) Maybe you could give me some tips on how to take better watch pics?

Lighting, not the camera is the secret to great watch pix. Learn how to use your camera but more than anything learn how to put a watch in great light.

·Thanks a great tip. Thanks. I guess natural light, maybe by the window? I was thinking to buy a flash as well. Would that help?

·camera D3200, lens 60 2.8G and 105 2.8G VR.
the 60 G give me better color. and for closeup foto's it's more easy to use.
all in all, i use 60G more than 105 2.8G VR

·Lighting is the key though. Pick up 3 of those LED photo lights and some rechargable AAs. Fairly cheap on the Bay or Amazon.
