M5 for some product shots
2

Getting ready to sell some old gear. A friend gave me his old Nikon F4s and 2 lenses. I really have no interest in film anymore so I wanted to get some images to submit to some online websites that buy your old gear.

I usually shoot on a white background with a strobe with diffusion on either side, makes the products clean and simple and with little to no shadows. I used the EF-M 22mm lens as it is sharp but also I didn't want to have to get up on a ladder if I used a longer lens. The 22 had a bit of distortion since I was close to the subjects but that was easily fixed in Lightroom. My only complaint about shooting with the M with strobe is that I shoot in manual and need to stop down as the strobes are bright, even on the lowest power setting. So my image is quite dark in the viewfinder; shot at 1/60 at f/11 and ISO 100.
