Anyone do product photography? Need help with lens choice
[edit] Decided to go with the 100mm macro (along with the 24-70). Need to decide on lighting and spend some time getting used to the camera now.
I'm getting ready to pick up a 20D and I need help deciding on a lens for some product photography. Items will be jewelry - indoor in a light tent.
Considering
- EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro - $469.95
- EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro - $399
Or... do I really need a macro lens as opposed to something like:
- EF 50mm f/1.4 USM - $319
Not trying to be cheap... just not sure.
-------
I'm trying to get in on the tail end of the canon triple rebate, so considering canon lenses only. Will be buying two lenses for now, one for the product shots, and one general purpose, maybe a EF 24-70 f/2.8L
-------
I'm obviously a photo noob, but my wife's business has grown to the point that we can't continue to pay someone to photograph everything (sounds backwards, I know). I'll learn as I go, but figure I should at least start out with pretty close to the right lens. Any help is greatly appreciated.
