The detail in your shots above reveal that you didn't do much cleaning prior to the shoot.
Yes, you were right. It was getting so obvious with close-up shot.

Had a try with A4 paper and no special lighting... It seems not bad.

Shadows add modelling, if you want to reduce them a reflector can throw some of the light back. For most purposes, a large enough window is enough, it's a brilliant, enormous softbox.
Then how about background? just A4 or A3 white paper or won't bother?

I just use a large window and a table top for my eBay images - it gives them a nice, natural, homely look. K20D with 18-55mm lens is also more than fine for the purpose.
Thank you for the info! A large window is still a sole light source which can cause shadow? Am I right?

All you need is 2 or 3 small flashes (any make), desktop tripods, radio triggers (cactus 5 or similar), and a light tent of a suitable size.
Thank you for that! I will give it a try later. I just feel continuous lighting is easier, and always not confident about flash...

Dear Chaps

To shoot product like lenses at home,

do you use continuous lighting or flash?
do you use shooting table or tent?
is there any set-up to recommend like brand, type and so on?

Thanks!
