A friend is a jewler locally, and shoots all his own photos for his
advertising, and they all look quite good. He uses a D3X with a 60mm macro.
He has a special lighting setup that is made especially for shooting
jewlery, something like a hoselight on steroids.
Of course he is a hobbiest photographer and has tons of other presumably
deductable stuff.

Subject: [OM] Jeweler's camera
A friend down the street who designs and sells jewelry wants a camera for
around the shop use. Small pictures of jewelry for the web site, pictures of
customers, etc. A guy she knows has recommended the OLYMPUS PEN E-PL1. It
comes with the 14-22 lens?
I'm sure she's going to want macro capability to get those jewelry pics, and
I'm not sure the stock Oly lens is up to the task. But I don't know. I do
know some of you own one. Do you have a separate macro?
Or might she be better off with something like a G12?
$500 is her upper limit, but I'm sure she'd go a bit further for the right
camera.
Recommendations gratefully accepted.
