I'm assuming you don't need any creative DOF effects (like food photograph), rather a high quality literal rendition? Then the 35mm stopped down a bit should give all you need.
McGreg - Yes. You assume correctly. The product shots the company have always used in the past and are likely to prefer are pretty standard, nothing too arty farty.I'm assuming you don't need any creative DOF effects (like food photograph), rather a high quality literal rendition?

And I'm not just saying this because I have a copy of each up for sale at present (I will always hold on to one because they are so good), but if you want to make me a fair offer you could save yourself quite a bit over the new prices

Hi folks,
I've been presented with the opportunity to take some photos for a pet product company. Products will range from fairly small animal treats upto large cages. Images will be used for both online/website and printed marketing material, so thinking sharp image quality will be important.
I know that good lighting and set up is 80% the battle to great product shots but from a lens image quality and focal length point am wondering what anyone with experience would recommend?
I'm in the position to buy a new lens and have been considering one of three macros 35mm Ltd, 50mm or 100mm. They all look like like great lenses and get great reviews but unsure which would be my strongest choice for this purpose.
Looking forward to people's suggestions, Thanks,
Zacca

Thanks for the welcome chaps.
David - For my sins...Bradford. I just spent some time looking at your website, you have some beautiful shots! Three young swans being my favorite I think.

Hi all,
I'm a southerner living in wonderful Yorkshire. I've Always had an interest in photography and took the plunge a month ago buying myself a K-30. Loving the learning and really enjoying reading up on various forums how to actually use a camera for real, rather than setting to auto and pointing and shooting.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
