[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 278381, member: 17556"] In what type of setting will you be doing your product photography? Outdoors? Light tent? Indoor product studio? Flash? Natural window light? Using a tripod or handheld? All of this can matter when it comes to your lens choice. The lenses you currently have are more than capable of doing the photography you have mentioned if the conditions are right (how you are lighting them) and depending on how small they are and how close you need to be to them. If you need to shoot them with no flash using ambient light, a fast prime lens would be ideal. If you need to really get them up close and in great detail you would want a macro lens ideally. You can substitute macro with a good zoom and get close shots too but you will need more light/faster lens if you are in low light. If you have plenty of light and just need snap shots then use what you have, get as close as you can and still get focus, use a tripod and shutter release cable or remote, and get good crisp shots and edit them well.
