[QUOTE="aroy, post: 439126, member: 16090"] You do not need a better lens for large product shots, especially if you are not printing big (WEB or small 6x4 prints). What you need is a better set up . Lights - diffused lighting from all around . Sturdy Tripod . Use F8/F11 aperture to get maximum DOF The 18-55 is a pretty sharp lens, and the 24MP sensor is excellent. Unless you are cramped for space, desist from going for wider lenses as they distort more if you take shots at odd angle. Use the longer end of the zoom (35-55) and back up as much as you can. Avoid shooting in jpeg, use RAW. For processing you do not need any exotic program, use the free Nikon Capture NX-D. It has all the controls required for exposure, WB, Distortion and NR. One advantage of RAW is that you can play around much more with the file and get the image exactly as you would like it to look. Pretty difficult to manipulate a jpeg to that extent. [/QUOTE]
