[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 770193, member: 48483"] Size depends on what you intend to photograph inside. I mainly use mine for photographing wristwatches in my collection. Speaking from my own experience, I now use the black semi-rigid type cube with the silver reflective interior and LED lights. My own studio allows you to adjust the position of the LED strips and each of the 2 strips has it's own switch. There is a white diffusing fabric panel for the lights. It is 16"x16"x16", basically ideal for watches with a 90mm macro lens. I came to this place first building my own diffusing structures out of translucent plastic tubs. Then I bought a 24" sized white tent like you show. Realized that was far too large and downsized to a 14" white tent. Lighting was difficult to get right. I used 2 reflector work lights with "natural light" color CFL bulbs. I moved the lights close, far, and all around over the years. The new type with the lights inside is the way to go for watches. I am convinced of that. White tent photo from 2017. D7000 + Tamron 90mm f/2.8 [ATTACH=CONFIG]365073._xfImport[/ATTACH] The current black with silver interior tent. Backdrops are different but the lighting is more even all-around. Change of camera body also, but same lens. D750 + Tamron 90mm f/2.8 [ATTACH=CONFIG]365074._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
