Will this work well for closeups on jewelry items for Ebay?

Sorry, I really don't know what the best and most economical solution would be for your application. I would recommend some web research to find out what kind of lighting kits and cameras others are having success with. My own success with photos of electronic components that are in a similar size range to jewelry has been with: a Canon EOS Digital Rebel camera, a small but heavy tripod that mounts on my desk, a 2' x 2' Cowboy Studio light diffusing tent, and a couple of Cowboy Studio natural spectrum continuous fluorescent lights. The nice, clear photos make the components look really great (and like something folks would want to purchase). However, since I'm a photography novice, this may not be the optimal setup. For example, maybe the light tent that removes the reflections on printed circuit boards also reduces the sparkle of various stones. So keep checking around.

I use it to make anything from jewelry pendants to paperweights to switch covers. Actually the bigger the project, the quicker it actually sets. What are you planning on making? If you don't mind me asking :)

Not sure one can say what is "best", but this is an excellent lens for a project like that. Remember that with a macro lens you will have a narrow depth-of-field, so for selling jewelry you will want a narrow aperture and photograph from a little distance to ensure clarity across the entire piece. NOTE: You don't need a macro lens for this project unless you are trying to get very close (closer than a 1:1 ratio), any good quality lens will work. Good luck.

The scanner will certainly operate with the cover open, but the focus is very narrowly limited to the platen surface. So if you are holding an item just above that, it may not be possible to get a crisp image result.

That's what I've used it for. I think it does a great job with them. I've compared them to the photos I got scanned from photo bin and they were about the same but without all the hassle of mailing them off and in the end is much better cost wise. Its hard to get them all to be perfectly straight when fed through if you do it in a hurry but theres a tool in their software that before you save them into your computer, you can crop them a little to make them straight. I'm actually not going to use my remaining groupons for photo bin and use the doxie cause its just as good. One caveat, I'm copying older photos so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Maybe newer ones won't be as sharp, don't know.

While I have never attempted jewellery pictures I have done a lot of close up photography and it is the best camera I have for close-up work I would doubt this would be any different with jewellery though you may have to work with lighting to get the best possible pictures

Yes, I would think it would work great for that. It's not as bright as an iphone and it casts a smaller circle but we've used it in the pitch dark and it's good for just the small area you're looking at through the magnifying glass.

I've only used it for photos. I would think as long as it fits in one of the slots, it will work. For the money , give it a try! It is the handiest little gadget!

Yes, it takes high quality close ups provided that you have it on the correct setting. Be sure to read the owners manual. I believe it comes with a 1 yr warranty

My hubby uses this for making jewelry and loves it so I've been thinking about purchasing a 2nd one for myself. My concern is the height of the lamp and the ability to adjust it for close up cross stitch and needlework and I've been procrastinating trying it out. Your question prompted me to get off my butt to go sit in the chair (thank you for that!) and adjust it to a good spot just to see if it might work, and it appears it will work great; however without actually attempting to stitch under it I can't say for sure. The magnifying it provides looks like it would be absolutely great for doing cross stitch or other close up needlework! I used to have an Ott-Lite and I think this Fulcrum has a much higher magnifier. Wish I could be of better help!

I would think so - I have been getting great results shooting small items for eBay.

Yes if you hold the scope far enough away from it. I can take clear pictures of paintings on my wall. I can also see crystal in a grain of sand. It will produce such image the size of your monitor . It will make a movie so that you can manipulate the item you are magnifying or take a snapshot of such item.

a 60mm I use for flowers and small insect pictures. It would be OK for paintings.

Yes, I would say so. I have two small ones I use on tea pictures. Works great!

I take close ups of all kinds of things and they come out good. There are free photo editing software you can download that will make your close ups even better. If you want, I will take some close ups of small objects and let you see if it's the quality you want. If so, I will give you my email so I can send them to you.

Yes but for close up shots of a coin I recommend a macro lens which are around the same price.

Works awesome with close up pictures. I haven't gotten that far with the high contrast yet
