[QUOTE="torgo, post: 2121, member: 909"] [FONT="Georgia"]I've done some product photography for my wife's work (a medical device company), and I actually end up using my 50mm f/1.8 AF-D for most of it. Now and then I'll pull out the 105mm f/2.8 AF-D Micro, but I'm not using it for any of its macro capabilities, more for its close-focus. If you're not really trying to get close to a certain area of the cell phone, a lens you already have might fit the bill quite nicely. The micro lenses do render a nice flat image, so if you're noticing barrel or pincushion in your images that you don't want to fix in post, that could be a reason to go micro. And of course, if you want to feed your NAS, well then that's between you and your wallet. :cool:[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
