Looking for some advice on best lens for photographing product shots?

13 years 2 months ago #37896 by Tuscany
Now I'm sure this might be a opinionated question but I'll ask any way. I have 18-200mm, 18-55mm, 180mm and 105mm lenses to use. For photographing products which lens would you find your self using the most? I have taken photos using each one of these, but kind of curious what more experienced photographers might use with what I have available?

What kind/size products would you be shooting and under what conditions (light box/outdoors/etc.)?

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

You mean if I was limited to one. Then it would be the 105 micro, it is a very versatile lens.

Agreed.

Best lens possible, 45mm and 90mm tilt shifts.
